Jennifer Lopez Reveals Why She Doesn’t Foresee Another Public Breakup With Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez wants to protect her relationship with Ben Affleck, but she’s revealing just enough juicy info for fans to get their hands on!

Let’s make this last forever! Jennifer Lopez, 52,is trying to keep things pretty low-key when it comes to revealing details about her relationship with Ben Affleck, 49, to the press. Even so, during the March cover story interview with Rolling Stone, J.Lo shared a little bit of insight about how the pair has “grown” since their past breakup after getting engaged in 2002 and how that’s made her optimistic about their future together.

“It’s funny because Ben and I were together, and we were so in love. It was one of the happiest times of my life,” she shared with the outlet. “But also, there was this other thing happening where we were being criticized, and it really destroyed our relationship from the inside out, because we were just too young to understand at that time what were really the most important things in life.”

She went on, “Like I said, we learned a lot. We know what’s real, what’s not real. So it’s just — the game has changed.”
