Ben Affleck reflected on how he wanted to keep his relationship with Jennifer Lopez away from the public eye but learned to compromise later on.
In their new Amazon Prime documentary, The Town actor, who rekindled his romance with the This Is Me… Now singer in 2021, nearly 20 years after breaking up with her revealed that, “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’”
The 51-year-old actor added, “Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’”
He went on to explain, “We’re just two people with different kinds of approaches trying to learn to compromise.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez also opened up about her husband’s discomfort in the spotlight, which also inspired the Parker actress for her new album, This Is Me…Now and its feature film This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.
“I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing all of this,” confessed Jennifer Lopez in her new documentary.
She continued, “But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist, and he’s gonna support me in every way he can because he knows you can’t stop me from making the music I made… he doesn’t want to stop me. But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”
