An old clip of Jane Fonda speaking to Jennifer Lopez about her relationship with Ben Affleck has been widely shared following news the A-list couple are divorcing.
During J-Lo’s 2024 documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which follows the making of her latest album and its accompanying film, the Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer was seen on the phone to her former Monster-In-Law co-star.
In the clip, the Oscar winner says: “Hi sweetheart. Thanks for calling. First of all, I want you to know, I don’t entirely know why but I feel invested in you and Ben. I really want this to work.
“However, this is my concern. It feels too much like you’re trying to prove something instead of just living it. You know, every other photograph is the two of you kissing, the two of you hugging.”
Jen brushed off her former collaborator’s worries, though, insisting: “That’s us living our lives.”
After Jennifer was confirmed to have filed for divorce from her husband of two years, the clip from her documentary was republished by a number of media outlets, including Page Six:
Jennifer and Ben first began dating in the early 2000s, during which time they even got engaged, but eventually called off their wedding plans, only to end up reuniting two decades later.
The former couple finally tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, in a small ceremony, which was followed by a more lavish event held at a venue in Georgia the next month.
