Jennifer Lopez has stirred up controversy with her new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, in which she talks candidly about her relationship with Ben Affleck. The trailer seems to suggest some animosity towards Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, turning the seemingly complex love triangle into more of a tangle.
Lopez’s Documentary Creates a Stir
Within the documentary, screened on Amazon Prime, Lopez makes stunning revelations about the sentimental treasures preserved by Affleck during his relationship with Jennifer Garner that occurred from 2004 to 2018. Affleck had saved love letters and emails exchanged with Lopez, causing a buzz among viewers and fans.
Lopez reveals, “This book is a book Ben gave me on our first Christmas back together. It is every letter and every email that we wrote to each other from 20 years ago and today.” Reading one letter titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told by Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 2001-2010…and counting…”, Lopez sparked speculation and ignited controversy.
Romantic Archive or Emotional Cheating?
It appears that a subject that usually warrants debate has now made headlines. People have differing views on whether saving love letters from a previous relationship while being with someone else can be seen as emotional cheating or not. The controversy is further fuelled because one of the letters reads “2001-2010…. And counting…”, seemingly disrespectful towards Garner, who was with Affleck during this period. This revelation might add fuel to the reported fire between Garner and Lopez’s ongoing projects.
A Glimpse into Bennifer’s Rollercoaster Love Story
By 2010, Garner and Affleck were in their fifth year of marriage and had two children together. The details mentioned in Affleck’s preserved letters raise curious questions about the actor’s relationship with Lopez, which supposedly ended in 2004. The couple did reconnect publicly as friends in 2015, but what happened between 2004 and 2010, nonetheless, remains a mystery. The fans and the public perceive this situation as an indirect attack on Garner.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, fondly known as Bennifer, began dating in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli. Despite calling off their wedding and eventually breaking up in January 2004, their connection remained strong. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and exchange wedding vows a year later, reestablishing their bond.
