Ben Affleck Reportedly Fears Jennifer Lopez Will Talk About Their Relationship 'Forever'
"Ben knows that she will talk about the breakup forever, because she has made albums and documentaries about their two relationships," a source close to the 52-year-old Gone Girl actor, who has now officially moved into his new bachelor pad, reportedly told the Daily Mail.
"He would love for her not to talk about it, but he feels she will always speak out," the source continued. "He didn't get a heads-up that she was going to talk about their relationship, but he assumed that it would eventually happen. It is a part of his life just as much as anything else, he's never going to get away from it."
The insider also said that despite being annoyed that he didn't get a warning about the interview, the Batman v Superman actor is actually "okay with however Jen has to deal with it" since "people deal with loss and breakup in their own way."
"This is what Jen had to do and Ben has to accept it," the source concluded, while also adding that he would prefer if the JLo Beauty mogul didn't spill absolutely everything. "He would like to keep some stuff to himself, especially major details about their relationship," said the source.
What Did Jennifer Lopez Say About Ben Affleck In 'Interview' Magazine?
The Shotgun Wedding actress had a very open conversation with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine, and she said some very interesting things about "looking inward" when it comes to figuring out where things could have gone wrong.
When she was asked about what she thinks went wrong with her latest relationship, the Marry Me actress said: "It's looking back at the feelings underneath and the belief systems that we have about ourselves that make us make certain choices and create certain patterns in our life."
She added: "And so when you get to a point where you think that you've learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, 'Okay, I haven't, so what is it that I need to look at right now?' I would say, never stop looking inward, because it's so easy to blame everybody else."
Glaser also asked the "Love Don't Cost a Thing" singer if she's setting the bar even higher for her next boyfriend, and she had a very interesting response. "Here's the thing: There is no new bar because I'm not looking for anybody!" Lopez exclaimed.
The Hustlers alum also added "Being in a relationship doesn't define me. I can't be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself."
