00:00Here are JLo's shadiest comments about other stars.
00:03Jennifer Lopez not only insulted Madonna, but also took a jab at another famous actress, Salma Hayek.
00:09If that sounds crazy, it's because we are.
00:11When she was asked about Madonna, she said,
00:13do I think she's a great performer? Yeah. Do I think she's a great actress? No.
00:18By 1998, Jennifer Lopez had been in a few successful films, including Anaconda, Selena, and U-Turn.
00:25Thank you, Bobby.
00:26You're welcome, Grace.
00:28You're not from around here, are you?
00:29Given her current thriving acting career, former magazine Movieline profiled JLo,
00:34and she took the opportunity to talk about how great of an actress she was.
00:38Following comments of self-praise, the reporter asked Jennifer for her opinion on other actresses.
00:44She did not hold back.
00:45She was first questioned about Salma Hayek,
00:48who was reportedly initially offered the lead role in Selena's biopic.
00:52We're in two different realms, JLo first said about Salma.
00:55Jennifer suggested that Salma was lying about being offered the lead role in the 1997 biopic Selena before her.
01:03She's a sexy bombshell, and those are the kind of roles she does.
01:06I do all kinds of different things.
01:08It makes me laugh when she says she got offered Selena, which was an outright lie.
01:12If that's what she does to get herself publicity, then that's her thing.
01:16Wow. That is so shady. Downright savage. Poor Salma.
01:21In 2020, while on an episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live,
01:25Salma confirmed that she was offered the role, but she turned it down.
01:29The actress said that the offer came just a week after Selena passed away,
01:33and she thought it was distasteful that a movie was already in the works.
01:36But what did she think of Jennifer's performance in the film?
01:39I think Jennifer did a great job, Salma told Andy Cohen.
01:42And I really didn't think it was for me.
01:44I think Salma Hayek's response was a lot more classy, to be honest.
01:48In the 1998 Movieline interview, Jennifer Lopez also heaped shade on actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna.
01:54The outlet's reporter asked Jennifer Lopez's thoughts on fellow actress Gwyneth Paltrow,
01:58and she seemed to blank on what movies Gwyneth had been in.
02:01She said, tell me what she'd been in.
02:03I swear to God, I don't remember anything she was in.
02:06Some people get hot by association.
02:07I heard more about her in Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work.
02:10Shortly thereafter, Jennifer shaded Madonna's acting skills.
02:14She said, do I think she's a great performer?
02:16Yeah. Do I think she's a great actress?
02:18No. By the time of the interview,
02:20Madonna had been in a few films, including Four Rooms and Evita.
02:23Apparently, neither Gwyneth or Madonna responded to this,
02:26but sources have said that even 30 years later,
02:28Madonna hasn't forgiven her.
02:30She said that before the interview came out,
02:31she actually considered JLo a friend,
02:33but when it came out, it just showed her true colors.
02:35She was pretty hurt by this.
02:37It was a very long time ago,
02:39and JLo has since apologized for her comments,
02:41but honestly, it was a really mean girl thing to do.
02:43I'm sure from the time of this interview to now,
02:46she's probably grown up a lot since then.
02:48The entertainment industry can be a competitive and cutthroat environment
02:52where actors and actresses often go for the same roles.
02:54The pressure can sometimes lead to like jealousy and resentment,
02:58but that was seemingly the case with JLo's comments
03:01about Selma, Gwyneth, and Madonna.
03:03However, it is important to remember
03:05that there's room for everyone in Hollywood,
03:07and that success should not come at the expense of others.
03:09I think people do genuinely appreciate kind-hearted comments.
03:13Although there's just something entertaining
03:15about seeing celebrities publicly feud.
03:17I'm sorry. I sound like a villain, but it's funny.
03:20If you're at all familiar with anything pop culture,
03:23then you're aware that Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey
03:25have had a very rocky relationship for over a decade.
03:27According to In Touch Weekly,
03:29the drama between the two began when JLo began working
03:32with Mariah Carey's ex-husband, record executive,
03:34and producer Tommy Mottola in 1998.
03:37In 1999, Mariah said she disliked comparisons
03:40between her and Jennie as artists following Jennifer's role as singer Selena,
03:43noting that she lip-synced the songs.
03:45Years later, in the early 2000s,
03:47Mariah said, I don't know her.
03:49When asked about her thoughts on JLo
03:51on a German television program called TAF,
03:53JLo publicly responded to Mariah Carey's comments
03:56on an episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live in 2014,
03:59saying she wanted to be friends.
04:00But a year later, at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards,
04:03JLo appeared to completely ignore Mariah's performance.
04:07Basically, what she did when Mariah was performing
04:10was she just scrolled on her phone.
04:12It was posted in a video published by TMZ.
04:14However, another WWHL episode,
04:17JLo claimed she watched most of the performance.
04:20Yet, a year later, while on the Wendy Williams Show,
04:22Williams referred to Mariah's, I don't know her moment,
04:25and JLo took the opportunity to lightly return shade.
04:28She's forgetful, I guess, she said.
04:30We've met many times, I don't know.
04:32I don't know her that well.
04:34Jennifer Lopez is known for many things,
04:35including tearing up a dance floor
04:37and finding herself in a relationship.
04:39One of her famous romantic partners was Alexander Rodriguez,
04:42an infamous American baseball player.
04:44The two began dating in 2017,
04:45and he asked JLo to be his wife in 2019,
04:48but things fell apart for the couple in 2021.
04:50In April 2021, the two shared a statement
04:52with NBC's Today announcing their breakup.
04:54We have realized we are better as friends
04:56and look forward to remaining so.
04:57We wish the best for each other and one another's children.
04:59That same day, though, eagle-eyed fans noticed
05:02that JLo liked an Instagram post shared by New York Times
05:05best-selling author, RH Sin,
05:07that called out the behavior of men
05:08who treat women poorly in relationships.
05:10What the post said was,
05:11don't make her think you care
05:13when you have never given an F about her,
05:15the post image said, paired with a caption that read,
05:17don't let them manipulate you.
05:18How many times have you been told I love you
05:20by someone who's continued to treat you badly?
05:22It was rumored that the couple's relationship ended
05:24because A-Rod's alleged stepping out on the relationship,
05:27which led to JLo's distrust.
05:29The timing of the like on the Instagram post
05:30was deemed as a shady confirmation by JLo.
05:33So there was one time that JLo was supposed to perform
05:37and they found someone else because she couldn't do it.
05:39So they found Christina Aguilera.
05:41When JLo heard this, she said,
05:43they found someone else.
05:44They found Christina Aguilera, I think.
05:46So a lot of people took that as shade,
05:49her saying, I think.
05:51And because she did have a reputation at the time
05:53for being shady, they just ran with it.
05:55Digital publications like Billboard Magazine,
05:58they took that narrative and they started publishing it.
06:01She debunked the claims in their comment section
06:04of Out The Outlet's Instagram post,
06:06writing, no shade at all, you shady,
06:08SMDH, always want to start some mess, grow up.
06:12Several of her fans defended her words
06:14about Christina under Billboard's social media post,
06:16asserting her innocence.
06:18While JLo has devoted fans who love
06:20and support everything she does,
06:21her frequent cattiness has led her
06:22to become one of those celebrities
06:24that some people just dislike.
06:26With all of that being said,
06:28I would like to say that I am a JLo fan.
06:30I think she's beautiful.
06:31I think she's talented.
06:32And yes, she does get a lot of flack,
06:34but a lot of things get twisted as well.
06:36So it's good to remember that not everything you hear
06:38is 100% true.
06:39Some of these points might have been twisted
06:41into saying that she was more shady than she really was.
06:44Other points might be true.
06:45Of course, being famous means people are always talking
06:48and JLo's had her share of haters.
06:50But let's be real, it doesn't always have to be true.
06:53Like I said, people exaggerate, people make stuff up,
06:55or they just hate because they're jealous.
06:57It's impossible to know what's 100% true about anyone,
07:00especially celebs like JLo.
07:02So don't believe everything you read.
07:04Think for yourself.
07:05Explicit photos of JLo and Diddy
07:06have just leaked onto the internet.
07:08There are many screenshots.
07:10Jennifer Lopez photos and history with P Diddy get leaked.
07:13Jennifer Lopez has a long storied history with P Diddy,
07:17one that not many people may know.
07:19She was at his white parties, she dated him for a while,
07:21and it may go even deeper.
07:23JLo may know a bit more about his situation than most.
07:26So much of my past.
07:29Before Diddy became the subject of federal investigations,
07:32he was known for throwing legendary white parties
07:34in the Hamptons, hosting the biggest stars of the time
07:37in glamorous summer gatherings
07:39that embodied the peak of early 2000s celebrity culture.
07:42Photos from these parties resurfacing after his recent arrest
07:45show a variety of familiar faces mingling at his mansion
07:48in East Hampton.
07:49Controversy surrounding Puffy and JLo.
07:52A couple of resurfaced photos from Puffy's.
07:55The scene was filled with everyone from rising teen idols
07:58to fashion industry royalty,
08:00all dressed in iconic white outfits.
08:02And one of the most talked about photos from these parties
08:05shows Diddy lounging on an enormous white bed,
08:08surrounded by pillows, right next to his then-girlfriend,
08:11the one and only Jennifer Lopez.
08:13This couple wasn't just a photo op.
08:15They were dating on and off between 1999 and 2001,
08:19during a pivotal moment in both of their careers.
08:21Their relationship became as much of a headline
08:24as their individual successes.
08:26We were more than alike.
08:27But at first, I didn't like him at all.
08:29That July 2000 white party, like many of Diddy's events,
08:33was packed with a who's who of Hollywood and the music world.
08:36They were photographed alongside Kimora Lee Simmons
08:39and her then-husband, Russell Simmons,
08:41as well as actors like Matthew Broderick
08:44and Sarah Jessica Parker.
08:45The iconic singer Aaliyah was also there,
08:48as was Leonardo DiCaprio,
08:50who at 25 was captured relaxing with Diddy and a few friends,
08:54sipping champagne in true Hampton style.
08:56JLo and Diddy's relationship, even outside of these parties,
09:00was always marked by a certain undeniable chemistry.
09:03I didn't like him because Sean and I were very different that way.
09:06They weren't just a power couple in terms of fame.
09:09They were making waves in each other's professional lives, too.
09:12At the time, JLo was skyrocketing to fame
09:14with hits like her debut album, On the 6th,
09:16which Diddy had a hand in producing.
09:18They were both at career highs,
09:20but their romance was known for its ups and downs,
09:22with the pair breaking up and reconciling multiple times.
09:25Their bond seemed intense and glamorous,
09:28but as many high-profile romances go,
09:30it also had its darker moments.
09:32Their relationship took a particularly dramatic turn
09:35in December 1999,
09:37when the couple was involved in a high-profile nightclub incident
09:40that would end up shaping both of their lives in unexpected ways.
09:44The pair had been out for the night in New York City
09:46when an argument erupted between Jamal, Sean, and Barrow,
09:49a young rapper mentored by Diddy,
09:51and members of JLo's security team.
09:54Before anyone knew it, the altercation escalated,
09:56resulting in a situation that left three people injured.
09:59When the police arrived on the scene,
10:01Diddy and JLo made an attempt to leave the scene behind,
10:03but they were soon stopped by law enforcement.
10:06A search of their car revealed a stolen self-defense object,
10:09leading to the immediate arrest of both JLo and Diddy.
10:12The aftermath of that night was crazy.
10:15JLo was released without charges,
10:16but the whole thing left a mark.
10:18For Diddy, however, the consequences were more serious.
10:21He faced a lot of legal stuff related to the incident,
10:24though he ultimately managed to avoid jail time.
10:26Reflecting on the impact of this night years later,
10:29JLo shared how odd and overwhelming it was
10:31to be caught up in such a situation.
10:33In an interview with Elle, she described it as a nightmare,
10:36recalling that she was scared and had no idea
10:38what was unfolding around her.
10:40JLo and Diddy's relationship didn't survive much longer
10:42after the nightclub incident,
10:44though it certainly left a mark on both of their lives.
10:46Their breakup was another headline maker,
10:48with JLo later opening up about the toll it took on her.
10:51In a 2003 interview with Vibe,
10:54she shared that her relationship with Diddy
10:55was the first time she'd ever been with someone
10:57who wasn't faithful,
10:58and she didn't hold back on describing the impact.
11:01I was in this relationship with Puff
11:03where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts.
11:06She said it really sent my whole life into a tailspin.
11:09It was a painful period for her,
11:11one that showed the sometimes chaotic side
11:13of the celebrity lifestyle.
11:14Interestingly, Diddy wasn't the only person
11:17connected to JLo's music career
11:18who played a role in her personal life.
11:20Her first husband, Ojani Noah,
11:22also has a complicated connection to Diddy.
11:25Noah and JLo were married briefly between 1997 and 98,
11:29before her rise to megastardom.
11:31But years later, Noah suggested that Diddy
11:33played a part in their split.
11:35He opened up during an interview with Desperta America,
11:38sharing his thoughts on how he believes
11:39Diddy's influence impacted his and JLo's marriage.
11:42According to Noah, things started to change
11:44when JLo began working on her debut album,
11:47On The 6, with Diddy as one of the producers.
11:49He felt the distance between them growing
11:51as she was traveling between New York, Miami,
11:54and other locations for her career,
11:56while he stayed in Los Angeles working on his own projects.
11:59In Noah's words, that's when he started noticing
12:01the deception and the lies
12:03that would eventually contribute to the end of their marriage.
12:06While they'd been working hard to balance their relationship,
12:08the pressures of fame and success
12:10proved to be difficult to manage.
12:11The fallout from his split with JLo
12:13continued to affect Noah's life
12:15even after their relationship ended.
12:17During the same interview, he reflected on how he believes
12:19JLo's actions post-divorce impacted his career.
12:22He said she had taken him to court,
12:24accused him of things he hadn't done,
12:26and even reached out to various companies and networks,
12:28which he claims led to lost job opportunities.
12:31He expressed frustration over the situation,
12:33wondering why she would go to such lengths
12:35when he felt he hadn't done anything to warrant that treatment.
12:38Meanwhile, JLo has kept her comments
12:40on Diddy's recent legal issues to a minimum.
12:43While the two certainly have a lot of history,
12:45both personally and professionally,
12:47she hasn't spoken out regarding the current investigations
12:50or his arrest.
12:51Given the tumultuous nature of their relationship
12:54and the highs and lows they experienced together,
12:56it's understandable that she might want to keep her distance
12:58from any fresh discussion surrounding him.
13:00Still, it's hard to ignore the lasting impact
13:03their time together has had on pop culture.
13:05The images from Diddy's iconic white parties,
13:07like the one of him and JLo on that lavish bed,
13:10are a reminder of the larger-than-life moments
13:12that defined the celebrity scene at the time.
13:14These parties weren't just gatherings,
13:16they were events that represented the glamour and excess
13:19of a particular era in Hollywood.
13:21And Diddy, for all the good and bad, was at the center of it.
13:24Jennifer Lopez ruined her reputation
13:26and might not be able to fix it, according to sources.
13:28So, on top of her divorce from Ben Affleck,
13:31JLo has had an extremely hard year.
13:33Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship
13:36has come to an end after two years of marriage.
13:39She also faced a slew of career blows
13:41from her highly-criticized documentary,
13:43Action.
13:44I loved you so much.
13:47and her album that failed to even make the top 30
13:49of her newest film that completely tanked at the box office.
13:52In addition, Jenny from the Block also cancelled
13:54what was supposed to be her massive comeback tour.
13:57Her summer tour is officially cancelled
13:59and she may be losing out on a $90 million deal.
14:03She also made an album dedicated to Ben called This Is Me Now
14:06and called her old documentary
14:07The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
14:10It's embarrassing.
14:11She made such a big deal out of this dude
14:13that was just gonna leave her anyway.
14:14I do hope she realizes how incredible she is
14:17and that she doesn't need a guy to be complete.
14:19And while she said it was because she wanted
14:20to spend time with family,
14:22the cancellation came amid reports of low ticket sales.
14:24She faced an awkward moment
14:26when an interviewer made a blunt and rude comment
14:28about her age and the changes that she endured as of late.
14:31But she vowed that the best is yet to come.
14:34And honestly, it's rude for anybody to even be bringing up age.
14:37It raises the question,
14:39will Jennifer be able to bounce back from the multiple struggles
14:41that plagued both her personal and professional life this year?
14:45Now PR experts have weighed in
14:46and they agreed that it might be more of a short-term stumble
14:49than a career-ending year.
14:50Celebrity PR guru John Harris from Chicago, Illinois,
14:53told DailyMail.com exclusively,
14:55Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to adversity.
14:58She's built her entire career on resilience and reinvention,
15:01and I don't see this moment as an ending.
15:03It's a pivot point.
15:04Jennifer had a strong 2023
15:06and she starred in and co-produced
15:08the Amazon Prime comedy Shotgun Wedding,
15:10which was one of the most streamed films on the platform that year.
15:13You invited your ex?
15:16She also had a part in the Netflix film The Mother,
15:19which became one of the top-watched original films
15:21on the app of all time.
15:23You just got her banished?
15:25You put her with good people.
15:26She launched her own Spritz brand and footwear line in 2023,
15:30but her momentum came to a screeching halt in early 2024
15:33when she released her new album, This Is Me Now.
15:36It certainly had a lot of buzz around it
15:38since it was her first album in a decade,
15:39which is why it shocked many people
15:41when it hardly rose on the charts.
15:43It reached number 38,
15:44making it J.Lo's first album to not make the top 20
15:47and only sold 14,000 copies in its debut week.
15:50Critics were harsh on the LP,
15:51which was heavily inspired by her romance with Ben.
15:54The Guardian described it as hopelessly middle-of-the-road,
15:57adding it offers very little outside of simply
16:00soundtracking a cozy night in Chez Benefer.
16:02For all her promises to show us the real her,
16:04it's a struggle to see it in the slick
16:06and try-hard production, The Independent said.
16:08It was later revealed that the star was forced
16:10to finance the two films herself
16:12after all of her prospective partners pulled out,
16:14ultimately resulting in her forking over
16:16$20 million on the projects.
16:18In addition, Jennifer co-produced
16:21and starred in the sci-fi thriller Atlas,
16:23but that movie didn't go over well with critics either.
16:26Here are the worst moments from Jennifer Lopez
16:28and Ben Affleck's marriage and divorce.
16:30Four months after the singer filed for divorce
16:32from Ben Affleck, she's reflecting on the hardships
16:35that ultimately made her stronger.
16:36Jen filed for divorce from Ben on August 20th,
16:39their second wedding anniversary.
16:41This was a big deal, I think, for Ben.
16:44He embraced it as well and saw it happening.
16:46Jayla's behavior after her public split from Ben
16:49was a mess, and everybody was watching and judging.
16:52Jennifer Lopez busts a dance move
16:55as she goes shopping with her child, Em.
16:58Em and her Ben Affleck divorce.
17:00To deal with the heartbreak,
17:01she started posting pics of her behind.
17:03She started posting shady quotes on social media.
17:06This public display of what she was going through
17:09was seen as pretty classless,
17:11especially for someone as famous as she is.
17:14Jennifer Lopez seemingly breaking her silence
17:17on filing for divorce from Ben Affleck.
17:19The breakups are tough,
17:20especially when they're played out in public.
17:22It's important to keep your cool, though,
17:23and not act too impulsively.
17:25Jayla's attempts to show off her body
17:27and rub it in Ben Affleck's face were not well received.
17:30Many people thought her actions were tacky
17:32and reflected poorly on her character.
17:34I've always, for better or for worse,
17:36have followed my heart.
17:38The whole thing was a reminder
17:39that even celebrities who seem to have perfect lives
17:41go through heartbreak in its messy aftermath.
17:44But it's also highlighted the importance
17:46of handling personal matters with grace and dignity,
17:48even while you're feeling super messy.
17:52There's always a thing that you don't see coming.
17:54And just when you think you've got him,
17:56you realize that he's been playing you the whole time.
17:57Social media can be a great way to express yourself,
18:00but it's important to hold back
18:01and not use it to air your dirty laundry
18:03or try to make someone feel a type of way.
18:05In the end, Jayla's post-breakup behavior
18:07was a lesson to us all,
18:09showing the craziness of social media
18:10and the importance of keeping it classy
18:12even when things were tough.
18:13Another thing that stands out to a lot of people
18:15is the fact that she shared private love letters
18:17that he asked her not to.
18:18I showed everybody this book.
18:21It is every letter and every email
18:24that we wrote to each other.
18:25Jayla's very active on social media,
18:27but Ben prefers a more private lifestyle,
18:30choosing to stay off social media completely.
18:33He also tries to maintain some type of privacy
18:36despite the fact that he's a celebrity.
18:37So when Jayla shared those very personal declarations
18:41of love with the world, it was very messy.
18:43Ben, Jayla's ex, was a bit salty
18:45about her showing love letters
18:46that he wrote to other musicians.
18:48They even jokingly called him Pen Affleck.
18:50He later admitted that it was kind of ironic and beautiful,
18:53like a greatest love story never told thing,
18:55especially since she was making an album about it.
18:58It definitely raised eyebrows
18:59and made people wonder if it played a role in their breakup.
19:02Ben also confessed that he initially
19:04didn't want their life plastered all over social media
19:06because their first relationship was already so public.
19:09But he eventually realized it wasn't gonna happen.
19:12They were just two people with different views
19:13trying to find a middle ground.
19:15So right after Jayla filed for divorce,
19:18some pretty bad stories about Ben Affleck started popping up.
19:21One source told People Magazine in August 2024,
19:24three months after Jayla canceled her tour
19:25amid rumors that their marriage was falling apart,
19:28that Ben's supposed mood swings
19:29were the reason for the breakup.
19:31They even hinted that he'd been showing everyone
19:33he wasn't happy.
19:34He was so unpredictable with these huge mood swings,
19:36I think he was trying to tell the press something,
19:38but he was still playing along, the source said.
19:40They also shared that Jayla and Ben
19:42were trying to make it work,
19:43but with constant mood swings, the highs and the lows,
19:45it created kind of a toxic environment.
19:49No one can help you.
19:50You have to help yourself.
19:51So he always kind of seemed sad and public
19:54and everyone was worried about him.
19:55Remember the time in May 2023
19:57when he slammed the car door after opening it for Jayla?
20:00That video went viral.
20:01It even became a meme.
20:02People were talking about their relationship,
20:04asking if Ben was okay,
20:06but Jayla was confronted in an interview in January 2024
20:10and she said, Ben's happy.
20:12A source claimed that Ben moved out
20:14of their Beverly Hills home in April 2024
20:16without telling Jennifer.
20:17She was apparently blindsided when she returned from New York
20:20and he wasn't responding to her calls or messages.
20:23The insider said that the divorce could get messy
20:25very quickly.
20:26The couple put their shared house up for sale in July 2024
20:29and started living apart.
20:31Ben quickly showed he was moving on.
20:32The worst part was that Ben was buying a new place in LA
20:35on Jennifer's 55th birthday party,
20:37which she celebrated in New York without him.
20:40A source told People they're moving on separately.
20:42Jennifer is looking for a new home to start fresh.
20:44They also said it had been weeks
20:46before they'd seen each other.
20:47Another source told Fox News,
20:49Ben didn't come to celebrate Jennifer's birthday
20:51because they're done, totally done.
20:53They're not getting back together.
20:54So when they finally decided to make the divorce official,
20:57Jayla filed the papers on August 20th, 2024,
21:00which happened to be their second wedding anniversary.
21:03Talk about a statement.
21:04A source told People magazine that Jayla was done waiting
21:07and the timing of the filing showed that she meant business.
21:11Another insider told Page Six
21:12that Jayla chose their anniversary on purpose
21:14to make a point about empowerment
21:16and standing up for herself.
21:17The official separation date on the divorce paper
21:19was April 26, 2024,
21:21but filing on their anniversary sent a bigger message
21:23than just the legal stuff.
21:25Apparently, she was also pretty embarrassed about the fact
21:27that she made such a big deal out of this dude,
21:29all for it to just end in divorce.
21:31The former couple had two wedding anniversaries
21:34as they initially married unexpectedly in Las Vegas
21:36in July, 2022.
21:37However, they had a bigger, more formal celebration
21:40involving family and friends the following month.
21:43Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship
21:44reportedly got so messy,
21:46after her divorce filing, they stopped speaking.
21:49TMZ claimed in August, 2024,
21:50that the once happy couple was no longer talking or texting,
21:53which meant their official split leg
21:55because they hadn't hired lawyers
21:56to help divide their assets.
21:58Fox News also claimed things turned sour
22:00with the source sharing,
22:01they are not communicating right now.
22:03If she wants to talk to his kids,
22:04she goes straight to the kids, same with him.
22:06However, later that month,
22:07the source told people that Ben was no longer in touch
22:09with J.Lo's children,
22:11who she shares with former husband, Marc Anthony.
22:13They claimed she still had a close relationship
22:15with Ben and Jennifer Garner's three kids, though,
22:18and J.Lo is thought to have a particularly strong bond
22:21with their eldest daughter, Violet Affleck.
22:23The fact that he has not seen their kids in a long time,
22:25it's like he left,
22:26but she is especially close to his kids, they said.
22:29There you have it, guys.
22:30J.Lo and Ben's breakup has been nothing short of a wild ride.
22:34From the dramatic social media posts
22:35to the personal love letters being aired out,
22:37it's been a lot to take in.
22:39We've seen the highs, we've seen the lows,
22:40the ups, the downs,
22:41all of the messy middle parts
22:43that come with such a public split.
22:44But at the end of the day,
22:46it's a reminder that no matter how famous you are,
22:48breakups are hard.
22:49They can get messy, they can get emotional,
22:52and sometimes they get out of hand.
22:54We've all been there, feeling hurt,
22:55wanting to make a statement,
22:56maybe even doing things we might regret later.
22:58J.Lo's post-breakup moves
23:00definitely raised some eyebrows,
23:02and it's clear that everyone had an opinion
23:03on how she handled it.
23:04But hey, we can't judge too hard.
23:06Everyone deals with heartache differently.
23:08Ben, on the other hand,
23:09seems to be taking a quieter,
23:10more private approach to all of this,
23:12and that's probably for the best.
23:13He's been trying to find some peace
23:15after everything went down,
23:16though the tabloids and public speculation
23:18don't make it any easier.
23:19It's a sad reality that once you're in the spotlight,
23:21it's hard to keep anything private.
