Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August. However, in the documents, it revealed that the pair had been separated for months beforehand. Recently, JLo surprised fans by opening up about the divorce. While she didn’t use Affleck’s name, she did get candid about her feelings now that she’s single again. The singer claimed that it felt like her world exploded. However, she didn’t tell Affleck that she planned to dish on the end of their marriage.
The Daily Mail reports that Jennifer Lopez’s emotionally charged post-divorce interview was a total surprise to Ben Affleck. The actor allegedly had no idea that his soon-to-be ex-wife was planning to spill details about their split to Interview Magazine. However, he’s reportedly not surprised by her actions.
“He didn’t get a heads-up that she was going to talk about their relationship, but he assumed that it would eventually happen,” an insider revealed. “It is a part of his life just as much as anything else, he’s never going to get away from it.”
Ben Affleck Wasn’t Aware Jennifer Lopez Was Going To Publicly Talk About Their Divorce
The source went on to reveal that the story of Ben and JLo in the media is far from over. The Argo director is said to believe that Lopez will continue to speak about the split publicly for years to come.
“Ben knows that she will talk about the breakup forever. He would love for her not to talk about it, but he feels she will always speak out. “He would like to keep some stuff to himself, especially major details about their relationship,” said the informant.
Meanwhile, some fans think that JLo is using the divorce as a way to get attention.
“Well he can’t get away from her. She is everywhere. She is truly running this into the ground,” one person said of the situation.
“The reason that she does all of this is because she is a Diva and desperate for attention,” said another.
“He looked miserable throughout that marriage. It was last for him and apart from that, they had different ideas on how they wanted to live their lives. I applaud him for getting out quickly,” a third person wrote.
“So JLo blindsided him with the interview. That’s not shocking at all,” a fourth comment read.
Fans may never know exactly why Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split. However, it seems that JLo isn’t afraid to get personal in her interviews. Perhaps one day she’ll write a memoir about her life and relationships.
