Ben Affleck had one request for Jennifer Lopez when the pair rekindled their romance in 2021: more privacy.
The actor-turned-director opened up about the couple’s relationship in Lopez’s new Amazon Prime documentary, titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,’” Affleck said in the film.

“Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’”

After the pair reconciled following decades apart, Lopez has shared several images with her beau on social media.

“We’re just two people with different kinds of approaches trying to learn to compromise,” the “Air” director added.

Lopez, for her part, opened up about her husband’s discomfort with living in the spotlight and says it was the inspiration behind her ninth studio album, “This Is Me…Now,” released earlier this month.

“I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing all of this,” she said in the documentary.

“But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist, and he’s gonna support me in every way he can because he knows you can’t stop me from making the music I made… he doesn’t want to stop me. But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”
