[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I hope they can make it work, as I liked them together before.  That doesn't preclude me from seeing red flags of course, and if I was friends with them I'd say to take it slow.  You can't just go back to the point where they were engaged back in 2003.  She is a bit vain for my taste at this point in her life - she seemed less so back then, but maybe she was then too.  The constant selfies are weird.  And yes she looks amazing, but it isn't age defying, it's surgery.  All that aside, she takes amazing care of herself and looks fab.  He doesn't look as great as he used to, but he's been through hell, and much of that self inflicted, but I have compassion for his addictions.

I think they have an intense connection, and can maybe make a go of it.  Her focus on fitness may clash with his smoking, but I am guessing his smoking is a release so that he doesn't slide back into alcohol.  I could see that becoming a point of friction if they don't compromise.

I am rooting for them, but it's not like I see them purely as two amazing successful people like PP painted.  They are both gifted, talented and also deeply flawed.  That doesn't make them undeserving of love, but it also doesn't make them immune from skepticism.  I hope they can make this work if it's real.

My only thing is whether there is a huge PR machine involved here.  If so, that's kind of gross.  [/quote]

PP. I am not at all implying they are perfect. They providing a counter narrative as the previous one on this thread has been that Jennifer Lopez is mentally ill or a bad person.

Look I do not know either of them. But based on public perception, and what Jennifer has said in interviews, she tends to be a bit love-sick and can be impulsive. Her marriages tell me she wants to settle down but due to her "creative person's impulsivity" she gets too deep too soon and takes the big jump.  She isn't perfect. She has spoken at length about how in love with Ben she was back in the day and how it was the media attention and the unflattering narratives at the time that drove them apart. For her, this rekindling, may be again the same thing. She may be looking for the real deal.

I am more cautious about his intentions. He has proven through his trainwreck end of his marriage that he cannot handle himself in intimate relationships. We do not know what phase of his addiction issues he is currently grappling with. I do hope he has good intentions and isn't just taking her for a quick spin.

If they are both down to have just hot sex with an ex, its all cool.

But he is messy and...I don't trust him.

Yes, I definitely don't think JLo is a bad person.  I think she loves her kids, and they seem pretty happy and adjusted from what I can tell.  Max is adorbs.  She also isn't oversexualizing her daughter, so that's a big plus in my book.  Jennifer has her own insecurities, and I agree that love is her kryptonite.  She wants it so bad.  I think Ben really has a lifelong struggle on his hands, and I hope he can keep it together.  Jennifer may be good for him in that way - perhaps like Robert Downey Jr's wife who is super disciplined and didn't have time for the bs, and it's helped him stay clean.  Who knows, but yes, even if it's just hot sex, that's cool too.

No matter what, it's clear that Ben has been the guy who she adored the most.  I just hope he is actually reciprocating. [/quote]
