Singer Jennifer Lopez recounted the bad things that happened before her wedding in 2003, leading to the annulment of her engagement with Ben and causing pain for her for many years.
In the newly released documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told , the pop star said: “Ben and I broke up three days before the wedding. We had planned a grand wedding with 14 bridesmaids and groomsmen. But three days before the big event, we collapsed under pressure.”
Ben Affleck confirms this. “When Jen and I broke up before, the catalyst for that was people paying too much attention to our private lives,” he said.

The director of the documentary, Dave Meyers, who also directed J.Lo’s MV I’m Real in 2001, said the singer was physically and mentally weak when she broke up with Ben that year. Jennifer Lopez agreed: “During the following years, I went through many difficulties. Not only did I lose the love of my life, I also felt like I had lost my best friend. And I was not able to talk to him for many years”.
Admitting that she was angry with Ben for a long time, looking back, the Grammy Award-winning star sees that heartbreak made her and Ben strive to become better people.
During their conversation in front of the camera, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck agreed that they had both forgiven each other for what happened in the past. J.Lo added that she also needs to forgive herself for some things.
“I feel like I’ve come out the other side. I’ve made it through. I’ve done something good with my life and am proud of it. But one of the parts of this is admitting telling myself that I’m not perfect, not complete. It’s like loving the beauty of the scars we’ve had along the way,” the 54-year-old star said.
