I would feel awful for her if she hadn't been such a controlling narcissistic braggart about her "true love." If she had gone to ground and quietly focused on strengthening her marriage and respected her partner's desire for privacy. But she commodified their relationship, so I don't feel bad for her at all. Even if I think he should have left her alone to begin with.


Agree. No self-respecting guy can handle being a PR prop in JLo's show for very long. That is not a marriage. She knew how he felt about it and simply didn't care. He tried (hello Amazon special cringe-fest), but there didn't seem to be any compromise on her end. The man is a recovering addict and needs some peace.


The infantilization of this grown ass man is wild.

Um, no. No-one will romanticize this nonsense.


+1. There was no true love, it was all narcissism on both parts.

Yeah I agree. Why in the world did he play into her delusions? It's not fair to just blame her when he was right there hyping it up to make her feel secure


I think he's bipolar. It's pretty common among addicts.


Oh, please. So many men are like this but don't have Ben's opportunities. They chase you incessantly, and truly believe it, then when they win you over they gradually get bored and move on. My question is: Is Ben back with JG???


No chance. I think they are codependent but I don't think she will ever go back to him. I would bet money that he has tried already, well before he got back together with JLo.


but what if he promises that he will never.cheat.again
And writes her letters!


Signed, Not Going Anywhere (for now).

They had been long separated by then.

Why? Clearly she’s problematic and should never marry again. How many husbands has she had?



Right? But maybe the 5th marriage will be the charm!

Pretty sure JG has been done with Ben for a long time. If it wasn’t for HER kids, she would never speak to him again.

They’re both a mess. I don’t think she’s a bad person at heart though. Not as sure about him.

I feel for her because the public embarrassment from this divorce in particular must sting. She put so much emphasis on Ben being her first and only true love


No, I don't think there is any embarrassment. They are both mature and experienced enough to decide things for themselves, and not worry too much about what people think.

Both seem insufferable.
