Jennifer Lopez has revealed that her husband, Ben Affleck, was a “reluctant” and “silent” participant in their new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.On Monday, Lopez attended a special screening of the documentary ahead of its release on Amazon Prime Video. Speaking to the audience, the singer-actress revealed that Affleck has reservations about the project, not wanting to divulge personal details about their relationship.During a Q&A with producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez said (via People): “The other scary part was that I was bringing into it my husband, who was kind of the reluctant participant, silent participant and all.“I just said to him during one of the parts of the movie, I was like, ‘Is this weird?’ He’s like, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘You’re crazy.’ I told him he was crazy, not me.
“The Greatest Love Story Never Told” when the Bronx-born diva questions just how much the public might care about her — and her much-hyped comeback album “This Is Me… Now” — in today’s pop landscape.After all, it has been 10 years since Lopez’s last studio LP, 2014’s “A.K.A.” — and a whole 22 years since 2002’s “This Is Me… Then” gave her two of her biggest hits in “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have.” “I didn’t even have to make the record,” says Lopez, 54, in the doc, which premiered on Prime Video Monday night.“It’s not like anybody was clamoring for the next J.Lo record, you know what I mean?”Well, damn, she was sure right about that.Despite a major promotional campaign — including a star-studded short film, “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” that accompanied the album release — Lopez’s ninth studio LP made an absolutely abysmal debut on the Billboard 200 at No. 38.Just to put that into perspective, seven of the singer’s previous studio albums debuted in the Top 10 — with 2001’s “J.Lo” opening all the way up at No.

Jennifer Lopez has said that her new album ‘This Is Me… Now’ is the result of a “20 year journey” that has encompassed her “entire music career”. The album was released yesterday (February 16), alongside its accompanying film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a fictionalised account of Lopez’ love life with Ben Affleck.

famously like to roll the dice, once even starring in a sports-betting commercial together. But J.
Jane Fonda isn’t afraid to give Jennifer Lopez her very honest opinion about her marriage with Ben Affleck!
Todd Gilchrist editor Jennifer Lopez has spent the better part of her career navigating the two halves of her public persona: Bronx-born girl next door “Jenny from the block” and Hollywood power player “J.Lo.” Though much of the tension between the two has been amplified by media coverage that spans calculated marketing campaigns and inescapable paparazzi scrutiny, Lopez has frequently seemed to capitulate to whichever of the two serves her best at the time. “This is Me…Now: A Love Story” is, on its face, the visual component of her self-funded ninth studio album, and at a reported $20 million price tag it’s easy to see it first and foremost as an advertisement.

You kinda have to love the Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck marriage and relationship. One is a pop superstar who craves the spotlight, and the other is an actor/director who had his fill of fame in the ’90s and seemingly craves his own privacy.
Jennifer Lopez’s much-anticipated new album “This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which drops on Friday — once again revolves around her Hollywood love affair with “Gigli” co-star Ben Affleck.But just like that much-maligned romantic comedy did in 2003, Lopez’s first studio album in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — proves yet again that sometimes art and amor just don’t mix.First off, like most sequels, it pales compared to the original.While it was hardly Janet Jackson’s “The Velvet Rope,” Rihanna’s “Anti” or Beyoncé’s anything, “This Is Me… Then” was probably J.Lo’s most “artistic” album.Yes, it had two hit hip-pop bops in “Jenny from the Block” — which infamously featured Affleck in its video — and the lip-licking LL Cool J collab “All I Have.” But Lopez’s third studio LP also found the singer-actress digging for more emotional depth than she had shown on either 1999’s “On the 6” or 2001’s “J.Lo.”But you know what? “On the 6” and “J.Lo” were ultimately better albums because Lopez played to her strengths with booty-shaking beats — the better to hoof it up in some killer couture — rather than heart-tugging feels.And “This Is Me… Now” leans even more into J.Lover rather than J.Lo.While the first single, “Can’t Get Enough” — another hip-pop bop that samples Alton Ellis’ ’60s reggae classic “I’m Still in Love with You” while nodding to Marcia Aitken’s 1977 version of the song— would’ve been a hit 20 years ago, the rest of Lopez’s ninth studio album finds the Bronx-born diva stuck in a romantic rut.
Jennifer Lopez just announced she’s heading out on her ‘This Is Me…Now: The Tour’ from June through August.Along the way, the New York City native will swing into Belmont Park, NY’s UBS Arena on Friday, Aug. 9, Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Saturday, Aug.
Jennifer Lopez is down to create another love story on screen with husband Ben Affleck.The “Maid in Manhattan” star, 54, and the “Argo” director, 51, infamously starred in the 2003 box office bomb “Gigli.” Despite the rom-com being not-so well-received, it led to the long-time couple’s relationship as they met on set.The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer looked back on the film and other past roles in a sit-down interview with Variety.“The first time meeting him on that film was at the read-through,” Lopez said.“They did a read-through of the whole thing and I remember kind of just walking in and I think he was outside, smoking a cigarette and I saw him and we just talked for, like, a minute and then I sat down and we did the read-through,” she went on.“I don’t remember a whole bunch more about it, but I remember being on the set with him every day and loving it.” The singer was married to her second husband, backup dancer Cris Judd, at the time.When asked if she would ever make a movie with Affleck again, she revealed she’s “open” to the idea.“I don’t know, in the right thing, maybe, in the right thing. I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,” Lopez added.The Martin Brest-directed project chronicled Affleck as a dumb hitman (Larry Gigli) who is tasked with kidnapping the brother of a prominent district attorney.
