In Hollywood, there are a select few stars who seem like they can do no wrong. Arguably one of those actors, from the outside, looking in it always seems like everything rolls off Jennifer Lopez’s back. For example, Lopez has starred in a surprisingly long list of movies that are generally regarded as stinkers yet she has overcome all of that to remain a highly bankable actor.

On top of remaining in the spotlight for years due to all of the amazing things she has accomplished, there is no doubt that Jennifer Lopez has been a mainstay of the tabloids for decades. After all, anytime Lopez gets romantically involved with someone, the press covers that relationship breathlessly. While it seems safe to assume that Lopez would love to have the paparazzi and tabloids leave her alone for the rest of her life, she seems to have handled the pressure as well as anyone could.

Of course, every time one of Jennifer Lopez’s relationships has become the focus of the tabloids, her partner has been put under the microscope as well. Despite that, one of her former partners has managed to keep his sense of humor about the situation. In fact, the ex in question even made a joke about Lopez keeping a big secret years after they split.

Jennifer’s Relationship History

Over the last several years, a lot of people in the press have paid a lot of attention to Jennifer Lopez’s relationship with Alex Rodriguez. For example, when there were reports that Lopez and A-Rod may have split in early-2021, everything the two stars did in public was examined in hopes of finding clues to their relationship status. Worse yet, once Rodriguez and Lopez both came forward and said they were still together, some people accused Lopez of staging the breakup to promote a movie. Never mind the fact that she doesn’t need to do that kind of thing since everything she does garners attention anyway.

Since Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are still a couple, there is no doubt that he isn’t the one who joked about her having a big secret. However, Lopez has been linked to other men in the past so there are still several people who could be the one who made that joke. For example, in the past Lopez dated Diddy, Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony, and Drake. They all seem like potential culprits for another reason, they are big stars so it is easy to imagine them talking to the press and getting asked about Lopez in the process.

The Jokester

In May 2021, Jennifer Lopez posed for the cover of InStyle and in the pages of the magazine, she was profiled. As a part of that article, the magazine reached out to several of Lopez’s high profile friends and asked them for comments about the extremely talented singer and actor. Among all of the people that were asked about Lopez, her ex-fiancé Ben Affleck popped up and he joked about the only thing that he thought could explain Jennifer still looking so young and vibrant.

“Where are you keeping the fountain of youth? Why do you look the same as you did in 2003 and it kind of looks like I'm in my 40s…at best?” In response to Affleck’s joking question, Lopez answered earnestly at first, “I don't have any [beauty] secrets”. After that, she quickly transitioned to talking about Affleck’s sense of humor. “Ben is funny! He still looks pretty good too.”

Serious Sorrow

After reading the back and forth Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had for that article, it was heartwarming to see them exhibit some real affection for one another. After all, while talking to Vanity Fair in 2017, Lopez revealed that it took her two years to recover from their breakup and how “eviscerated” Gigli, a movie they made together, was. “My relationship self-destructed in front of the entire world. It was a two-year thing for me until I picked myself up again.”

On top of what Jennifer Lopez told Vanity Fair, in her 2014 memoir “True Love” she was even more forthright about how heartbroken she was after she and Ben Affleck broke up. “It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest.” Considering the charmed life that Lopez seems to lead, some people may be surprised that she was so destroyed by a breakup.
