Body language expert Judi James analyzed Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s documentary, ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ and noted that Jennifer seemed to be trying to make her life seem harder than it really is. The documentary showcased Jennifer’s vulnerability, with scenes of her crying, looking scared, and eating while crying. Judi observed that Ben appeared uncomfortable on camera, using body language that seemed childlike and indicating his discomfort with constant press scrutiny. Despite their differing views on privacy, Judi noted that the couple relied on each other for emotional support, with Ben acting as a coach and mentor to Jennifer.
The documentary, which was part of a three-part visual project exploring Jennifer’s love for Ben, portrayed their love story as sweet and necessary for emotional survival. Ben was shown as a supportive figure, providing Jennifer with energy, confidence, and self-belief. However, he also expressed discomfort with sharing private moments and old love notes publicly, as he valued their privacy as sacred. Despite these differences, Ben admitted that the experience of participating in the documentary had been an adjustment for him as an artist, as he typically viewed private moments as special and not to be shared with the public.
Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben without an attorney, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, meaning their individual earnings from the last two years would be considered community property. Jennifer, with a reported net worth of $400 million, has had several successes since marrying Ben, including launching a cocktail line and filming a project documenting their romance. Ben, with a reported net worth of $150 million, has also had film successes and recently wrapped production on a sequel to ‘The Accountant,’ as well as working on an upcoming film project with Jennifer.
The divorce filing on their second wedding anniversary marks Jennifer’s fourth failed marriage and Ben’s second. Jennifer is not seeking spousal support and has asked the judge to deny it for Ben as well, indicating a desire to settle matters amicably. The couple’s love story, once portrayed as sweet and necessary for emotional survival, has now come to an end with the decision to separate. Despite the difficulties revealed in the documentary, both Jennifer and Ben have continued to focus on their individual careers and projects, moving forward after the end of their relationship.
