Jennifer Lopez might be known for keeping it glamorous and unbothered in public, but behind the scenes? Sources say she’s spiraling over the possibility that Ben Affleck could finally speak his truth and spill all the messy details about their on-again, off-again love story.
According to a report from Globe, the Hustlers star is terrified that her ex (and second-time husband) Ben Affleck is seriously entertaining the idea of launching a podcast with none other than his lifelong BFF, Matt Damon. While the series is being pitched as a behind-the-scenes look into their production company, Artists Equity, sources say it could turn into a confessional outlet for Ben, and that has Jennifer Lopez sweating.
Apparently, Ben is this close to signing on for the project, and there’s talk that the podcast would give him a chance to finally speak candidly about the chaos, love, and drama that’s followed him for decades, including his infamous love life. And yes, that means Jennifer Lopez might be front and center in some of those stories.
Jennifer Lopez Worries About Ben Affleck’s Loose Lips
“A weekly show from Matt and Ben would be a cheap way to crank up cash flow and create a direct line to their fans like never before,” one insider said. “Everybody who knows Matt and Ben knows they have a pretty incredible story to tell, and they can correct misconceptions about themselves while they’re at it.”
But that “correcting misconceptions” part is exactly what’s got JLo spiraling. The insider claims that her biggest fear is Ben giving a raw, “warts-and-all” account of their relationship, one that doesn’t exactly paint her in the best light. And let’s be real, the world has always been obsessed with Bennifer’s love saga, from the early 2000s to their whirlwind rekindling and eventual reported separation.
“JLo’s greatest fear is that Ben will give a warts-and-all account of his life, including the full, uncensored details of their relationship,” the source said. And she has good reason to worry. Apparently, back when they were still together, the idea of a memoir or tell-all came up more than once. “Ben reassured her that he’d never do a cheesy kiss-and-tell type story,” the insider added. “But that was then, and JLo knows that money talks.”
Ben Continues To Be ‘Grilled’ About JLo Divorce
The thought of Affleck setting the record straight has reportedly shaken Lopez, especially since he’s been hounded for years about how he treated her, why they broke up, and why they reunited, only to crash and burn again. “He’s known to be extremely fed up with some of the false narratives that have been spread about how he treated JLo,” the source explained. “Even now, he’s relentlessly grilled about what went wrong and why he chose to get back with her.”
If he does decide to air it all out, it wouldn’t just be juicy podcast content, it would be “the ultimate betrayal” for Lopez, according to the insider. And with a potential platform that big, you can bet the entire world would tune in to hear every little detail.
So now the big question is, will Ben Affleck actually spill the tea, or will he stay true to his old promise? Either way, it’s clear JLo is watching and worrying very closely.
