'Feels Too Much Like You're Trying To Prove Something': Jane Fonda Got Honest About J-Lo And Ben Affleck's Relationship Success Years Before Split

As a long-time admirer of Hollywood’s resilient queens, I can’t help but feel a sense of empathy and admiration for Jennifer Lopez as she navigates her recent split with Ben Affleck. However, when I reflect on Jane Fonda’s life experiences, it seems she has been a prophetess in this situation. Her concerns about the couple’s relationship in “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” documentary were indeed prescient.


The impact of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce is far-reaching, even affecting their 2024 movie schedule. Given their high-profile separation spanning a considerable duration, the future of their joint project “Unstoppable” appears to be uncertain, as Lopez stars in this film produced by Affleck, slated for release later this year. Some might find this recent development surprising, but Hollywood icon Jane Fonda may have foreshadowed potential heartache as early as a scene from the 2022 documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told”.

According to Page Six, a behind-the-scenes account of Jennifer Lopez’s movie “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” reported that the talented actress advocated for Jane Fonda’s participation in the film. In this instance, Fonda voiced her reservations about joining the project immediately.

Initially, let me clarify that I have a strong connection with both you and Ben, and I truly hope our relationship flourishes. Nevertheless, I do have a worry: it seems like you’re attempting to validate something rather than just experiencing it naturally. The majority of the photos shared are of the two of you either kissing or hugging, which gives the impression of a focus on demonstrating your bond instead of simply enjoying it.

It’s clear that those concerns weren’t baseless, as Jane Fonda’s personal experiences have indeed shaped her wisdom. Known for her role in Grace and Frankie, Fonda has personally faced the scrutiny of the media regarding celebrity marriages under strain, having experienced no less than three divorces herself.

In simpler terms, when Fonda raised concerns about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship being so early on, it might suggest their marriage had troubles from the start. Moreover, Fonda’s reaction to the ‘Sad Affleck’ Grammy memes earlier this year hints that she found this issue particularly significant, possibly indicating a deeper problem for the iconic actress.

In the fictional perspective of “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” a potential advantage arises from the movie, as it emphasizes the nearly 20-year friendship that blossomed between Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda. Notably, these two actresses had previously collaborated only in New Line’s romantic comedy, “Monster-In-Law,” before reteaming on “This Is Me… Now.”

However, that shared encounter, amusingly filled with wedding-related issues, seemingly forged an unbreakable bond between the two artists ever since. Interestingly, Fonda’s account of the influence of “Monster-in-Law” suggests a robust resurgence for the film as well.

It appears that the rekindled relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, often referred to as Bennifer 2.0, is still facing challenges. For now, everyone can only wish for an amicable separation, one that minimizes distress and facilitates a smooth transition for all parties involved. The fact that Ben’s friendship with JLo’s children is growing stronger further emphasizes this desired outcome. Moreover, this situation underscores the importance of friends during difficult times.

It’s likely that Jane Fonda will contact Ms. Lopez soon, prepared to lend a listening ear and offer guidance about upcoming events. For now, you can stream both “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” and “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story”, if you have an active Prime Video subscription. On the other hand, the movie “Unstoppable” is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, with its general cinema release planned for December.
