Jennifer Lopez opened up about the intense media attention directed towards her and Ben Affleck's relationship.
Reflecting on their past experience, the 54-year-old artist acknowledged to Variety that both of them had experienced significant emotional stress. However, despite the challenges they faced, JLo defended her choice to bring their rekindled romance into the public eye with her latest album and accompanying film, titled "This Is Me... Now."
Using The Romance For Clout?
However concerns are being raised about the couple's current situation, with fears that they could be making the same mistakes as before.
The insider, who spoke to In Touch, believes that this decision is potentially problematic.
"They claim that Jennifer acknowledges the scrutiny and challenges they faced during their previous relationship, but paradoxically, she seems to be actively promoting a movie that explores their romance."
It appears that the "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker is so enthralled by the idea of this romantic fantasy that she is unwilling to listen to any advice to slow things down, even from Ben himself.
From the moment they rekindled their romance in 2021, the relationship between JLo and Ben has been a topic of intense fascination.
"They have openly expressed their deep affinity for each other, a connection that brought them back together after their split in 2004 and subsequent marriages to Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner."
However, there are those who believe that their public displays of affection and the use of personal moments to promote JLo's album may ultimately backfire. This source predicts that the attention surrounding their relationship will reach a tipping point and have negative consequences for JLo.
