Ben Affleck Reportedly Wasn't Happy With JLo Telling Their Love Story In This Is Me... Now. Then They Lost Millions

As a longtime fan who has followed Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s on-again, off-again relationship for years, it seems that their latest chapter is shrouded in drama and financial woes. The reported loss of £18 million (around $23 million USD) over “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” undoubtedly put a strain on their relationship, as did the less-than-stellar reviews the film received.


Famous duos, such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, have consistently captivated the public interest, as evidenced by the numerous articles written about them. Similarly, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are no strangers to this phenomenon, having recently generated a significant amount of press due to rumors concerning their relationship. It’s been reported that Affleck took issue with JLo sharing their love story in her show “This Is Me… Now,” which is available for streaming through an Amazon Prime subscription. More controversially, there have also been claims that the couple lost a substantial amount of money due to some disagreements.

The movie “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” served as a visual companion to Jennifer Lopez’s latest album. Although it’s not typically ranked among her best films, it did garner significant attention upon its release and became a viral sensation. Ben Affleck made an unexpected appearance in the production, but according to The Daily Mail, he wasn’t particularly thrilled about it initially. The report (which was later retracted) suggested that the project earned the duo approximately £18 million, or roughly $23 million USD. While this figure should be taken with a pinch of salt, the source quoted an inside source who stated:

In simpler terms, they suffered a loss of £18 million, which severely damaged Ben’s faith in her. When she publicly displayed their personal love letters for all to see, it enraged him immensely. It was at this point that Ben realized she prioritized her fame over their love.

In a personal perspective, beyond any potential financial repercussions, this report suggests that Affleck felt deeply offended by the portrayal of his relationship with JLo in her album, as its private aspects were apparently used as inspiration for its visual elements. Unfortunately, the criticism heaped upon “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” didn’t help matters, with many labeling it as awkward and cringeworthy.

People have been closely examining any details they can find regarding Ben and Jennifer (often referred to as Bennifer), who tied the knot in Las Vegas last summer. However, neither of them has officially acknowledged a split or divorce proceedings, although it’s said that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been residing separately since May.

Beyond the amount of money they collectively lost from the film “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story”, another significant financial drain that could have contributed to stress for the high-profile duo, JLo and Affleck, is their extravagant mansion. Despite attempting to sell it at a higher price than they originally paid, they are expected to incur losses due to renovations and improvements made to the property.

According to an article in The Daily Mail, tension within JLo’s marriage to Affleck was reportedly fueled by her liquor brand Delola, as Affleck has struggled with addiction issues. It appears there may be many unresolved matters behind the scenes, and it remains to be seen if or when the couple will formally announce their separation.

Currently, professionally, both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have a full plate with their respective film ventures. At present, let’s keep an eye on the scheduled movie releases in 2025 for updates.
