AceShowbiz - In the 2022 documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told", Jane Fonda shared her reservations about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship. While Fonda expressed her support and hopes for the relationship's success, she expressed concerns about the excessive public displays of affection and the appearance of them trying to prove something.
Fonda's concerns stemmed from her own experience as Lopez's disapproving mother-in-law in the 2005 film "Monster-in-Law". She feared that Lopez was exposing herself to potential criticism and heartache.
Fonda also approached Lopez's manager, Benny Medina, to discuss Affleck's behavior. She emphasized the importance of treating their relationship as "sacrosanct" rather than overly flaunting it.
Other celebrities also weighed in on Lopez and Affleck's romance. "The View" co-host Joy Behar advised keeping love private, while former "Good Morning America" anchor George Stephanopoulos predicted a short lifespan for the relationship.
Despite Fonda's concerns, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their flame in 2021 and married in 2022. However, their recent divorce filing has reignited conversations about the validity of their relationship.
It is important to note that Fonda's and others' concerns were based on their own observations and opinions. The success or failure of a relationship is ultimately up to the individuals involved.
