Ben Affleck’s discomfort exposed in public appearances with Jennifer Lopez.

Jennifer Lopez’s $20 million project, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, has taken a dramatic turn. The self-funded, three-part visual documentary, released on Prime Video in February, was meant to celebrate her romance with Ben Affleck. However, the narrative has shifted as the couple announced their separation just two months later.

Body language expert Judi James pointed out underlying tensions in the relationship, noting that Lopez seemed to be “feeding off” Ben’s energy, positioning herself to extract maximum drama from her story. Affleck, on the other hand, appeared “childlike” and “uncomfortable” on camera, highlighting the emotional strain he was under.

Despite Lopez admitting that the project wasn’t necessary but something she wanted to do, the dynamics between them were clearly strained. The couple’s recent split, documented in divorce filings this month, suggests that cracks in their romance were evident even during the film’s production.

James observed that the documentary seemed to aim at dispelling misconceptions about the glamorous life of the rich and famous. According to James, Lopez wanted to clear up any illusions that being wealthy, talented, beautiful, and married to the love of your life guarantees an idyllic existence.

Lopez’s portrayal of herself in the film, including raw moments of vulnerability like crying on camera and eating while emotional, appeared designed to maximize the drama of her “truth.” The documentary’s intense soundtrack further accentuates this emotional depth.
