Ben Affleck admits he was not an ideal husband. The Gone Girl star admits he placed unfair demands on his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez. Fans have been intrigued by the couple’s ongoing romance since the early 2000s when they first began dating. There has been a lot of water under the bridge between the two.
During the couple’s first public breakup in 2004, they blamed the media for their relationship’s downfall. Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports that Ben has a few things to clear up now that Jennifer looks to be calling it quits again just two years after their marriage.
After the couple’s first downfall, Ben claims that he once again wanted to attempt to keep the media as far out of their private lives as possible. However, he didn’t think it was fair of him to ask Lopez to keep their relationship quiet. He admits it was an unfair demand to make but one he needed.
Jennifer Lopez Knew What To Expect When She Reunited With Ben Affleck
During a previous interview with Daily Mail, Ben Affleck told Jennifer Lopez, “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’
Affleck openly regrets many of his actions during his relationship with Lopez. He acknowledges that asking her to remove him from her social media platforms, knowing she was active on them, was unfair.
Reflecting on his past actions, Affleck admits, “I realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. “He compares their situation to marrying a boat captain and then saying, ‘I don’t like the water.’ It’s a journey of two people with different approaches, trying to find a compromise.”
Jennifer Lopez returned to her relationship with Ben Affleck, knowing exactly what she was getting into. For the most part, she reportedly tried to keep Ben off her social media platforms, especially knowing it was the leading cause of their split in 2004.
However, try as they might, it now seems that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are close to divorce. This time around, things may be a little different. Ben claims he regrets making unfair demands on Jen. He doesn’t quite detail his unfair marital demands. But fans say there is much more to the couple’s split than meets the eye. At one point, it speculated that Ben’s unhealthy co-dependent relationship with ex-Jennifer Garner may be the problem.
As Bennifer approaches the end of round two of their two-decade romance, whether this is the final act remains unanswered. With Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, anything is possible, keeping their fans intrigued.
