Ben Affleck wasn’t ‘very comfortable’ being Jennifer Lopez’s muse

Ben Affleck was hesitant to share details of his private life with Jennifer Lopez the second time around, so he wasn’t ecstatic to be his wife’s muse for her self-financed $20 million three-part multimedia project about being a serial romantic.

Lopez explained her husband’s hesitation when she presented him with the project in the documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” The three-part series also included “This Is Me … Now,” her first album in 10 years and a musical movie that chronicled her journey to find love from childhood until she met the love of her life.

While the Oscar winner, 52, was supportive of the creative process, he had reservations about divulging details of their life behind closed doors. Lopez, 55, however, was an open book.

“I don’t think he’s very comfortable with me doing all of this,” she admitted in segment of the documentary. “But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist and he’s going to support me in every way he can because he knows he can’t stop me from making the music I made and writing the words that I wrote. That’s going to happen and he doesn’t want to stop me.”

“He wants to do that [for me], but that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”

Affleck explained his reservations about speaking of their rekindled romance before their 2022 marriage and subsequent divorce.
