Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce after being married to Ben Affleck for two years, and it appears Jane Fonda almost knew this would happen. In a resurfaced clip from JLo’s “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” Fonda expressed her concerns about the couple. The Prime Video documentary premiered in 2024 and centers around the duo’s rekindled romance.
One of Hollywood’s It couples, the two first started a relationship in 2003 after meeting on the set of “Gigli.” However, they broke up over a year later, only to rekindle their romance 20 years later.
Jennifer Lopez laughed off Jane Fonda’s advice on relationship with Ben Affleck
In the video, Lopez and Fonda engage in a meaningful conversation. The 86-year-old actress shares her thoughts about the singer’s relationship with Affleck. She says she is “invested” in the couple and wants the relationship to “really, really, really” work.
However, she also quickly voiced her reservations about their very public relationship. Fonda felt that their hugging and kissing in every other photograph seemed like they were trying to “prove something instead of just living it.” Lopez laughed off the advice with a respectful response, saying it was just them “living” their lives.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Fonda and Lopez first connected while working on the set of their 2005 film “Monster-in-Law.” The two have shared a close friendship ever since, which Lopez mentioned in her “Greatest Love Story Never Told” documentary. She explained, “[Fonda] is very protective of me. I really looked up to her – obviously, she is an amazing actress but also for what she stood for in her life.” JLo also added how they “are similar when it comes to love.”
In the clip, Fonda further mentions Lopez and Affleck’s Grammys 2023 photo, per US Weekly. The “Batman” actor’s unusual facial expression implied that he was either upset while mid-argument with his wife or simply “unhappy.” Referring to this moment, the “Grace and Frankie” actress said she gets “real scared.” “You know, with all that s–t about the Grammys, and he looked unhappy, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, what’s happening?'” Fonda added.
The outlet confirmed via the divorce filings that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, dubbed Bennifer by tabloids, separated on April 26.
