Jennifer Lopez is reportedly worried that the press pressure, which led to her separation from Ben Affleck before, would be repeated. JLo and Affleck only reconciled nearly 20 years after their previous split.
Jennifer Lopez Is Reportedly Worried About Relationship With Ben Affleck
Lopez and Affleck are doing fine if they are to speak about their relationship. However, they have been spotted seemingly having tense exchanges in public.
Just recently, he was caught slamming the car door on him while a paparazzo filmed them. They also appeared to have an argument on the red carpet of her new movie, The Mother.
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on their relationship. According to her, Lopez was worried that their current relationship would end up the way it did before due to the media.
James told Mirror:
"Their previous split left Jennifer 'heartbroken' and she did suggest that 'being under siege' from the press caused a problem for them as a couple, so seeing Ben get tetchy enough to slam her car door because they're being photographed together getting coffee is not a good look."
She continued:
"The car door incident came after some very sweet moments between the couple as they went off to get a coffee. Ben walks in front of Jennifer, and his mood appears to have shifted. He opens the car door for her but fails to look at her as she climbs in, although he does glance before he shuts the door."
The expert noted that his gestures looked dramatic. However, his anger may be aimed at the photographers, whom he allegedly continued to communicate through his gestures when he moved to the other side of the car.
James added:
"The worry is if he is again finding being 'under siege' difficult, which could, in turn, worry Jennifer if there was a repeat of the pressures that led to their first engagement and marriage being called off."
While there seemed to be some tensions between the celebrity couple, James also clarified that it was also possible that they were just "caught out of context."
Jennifer Lopez Doesn't Think She, Ben Affleck Will Split Again
JLo and Affleck dated in the early 2000s. However, they called off their engagement in 2004.
They had been married to different individuals but reconciled in 2021 after she called off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. They got married in July 2022, 18 years after they initially decided to tie the knot.
Both are thankful for the second chance they had. And Lopez doesn't think they would break up again after they reconciled nearly two decades later following their split.
She told Rolling Stone:
"I don't think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed. We feel like what we found again is so much more important, and how we protect that and how we live our lives — what to share, what not to share — is the balance that we have now, the benefit of experience and the wisdom that we gained over the years."
She also admitted in a previous interview with People that they were naive before, and they let their relationship "out there," and it "got a little trampled." This time, they are more confident in each other and will not let the media intrude.
Lopez said:
"We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things. We're so protective because it is such a beautiful time for all of us."
