The end of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage didn’t come as a surprise, as rumors had been circulating for months leading up to their official divorce filing this week.
While there may not be a single reason for their split, fans have honed in on a particular detail from Lopez’s documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told“.
The Privacy Divide
Lopez publicly shared a book of love letters and communications from Affleck dating back 20 years, a gesture that he found uncomfortable as the personal content was shared with others, leading to a rift in their privacy boundaries.
The irony in the fact that it’s the greatest love story never told…
Affleck’s discomfort with the situation was evident, with many interpreting his comments as a sign of sorrow.
Several voices have risen in defense of Affleck, attributing the relationship’s demise to Lopez’s inclination towards public exposure.
- “Not cool to share such intimate content.”
- “Personal matters should have been discussed before being made public.”
- “Living publicly seems ingrained in her; she should seek privacy.”
It’s apparent that Affleck and Lopez had differing views on what constituted a private life.
