In a deeply personal revelation, Ben Affleck recently shared insights into Jennifer Lopez's emotional struggles, which he discussed in the Prime Video documentary, "Greatest Love Story Never Told," released on February 27. This documentary, a $20 million self-financed project, delves into Lopez's life and her experiences with love and longing, capturing the essence of her second chance at romance with Affleck.
Affleck, 52, reflected on Lopez's childhood traumas and their impact on her adult life.
