Ben Affleck Regrets Unfair Marriage Demands He Made on Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck admits he wasn’t an ideal husband. Missing girl The Hollywood Reporter star admits to making unfair demands on his wife, Jennifer Lopez. Fans have been intrigued by the couple’s romantic relationship since the early 2000s, when they first started dating. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge between the two.

When they first publicly broke up in 2004, they blamed the media for the downfall of their relationship. Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports that Ben has some things to clear up now that Bennifer seems to be calling it quits again, just two years after they got married.

After the couple’s initial debacle, Ben claims that he wanted to once again try to keep the media as far away from their private life as possible. However, he didn’t think it was fair of him to ask Lopez to keep their relationship a secret. He admits that it was an unfair request to make, but that he needed it.

Jennifer Lopez Knew What to Expect When She Reunited With Ben Affleck

In a previous interview with the Daily Mail, Ben Affleck told Jennifer Lopez: “When we got back together, I was like, ‘Look, 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 wasn’t a fair thing to ask.” He likens their situation to a man who marries a boat captain and then says, ‘I don’t like the water.’ It’s the journey of two people with different approaches, trying to find a compromise.”

Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her relationship with Ben Affleck, knowing exactly what she was getting into. She reportedly tried to keep Ben off social media, especially since it was the main reason they broke up in 2004.
