Why did Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck REALLY break up? After the fairytale marriage got off to a rocky start, singer made HUGE mistake which plunged union into chaos

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s ‘fairytale’ marriage was doomed from the start, say insiders because there was ‘no way she could control her embattled husband and he couldn’t change her’.

The singer, 55, filed for divorce on Tuesday and listed the date of separation as April 26, after months of speculation she had parted ways from the actor, 52.

One huge mistake was Jennifer’s insistence on going public on private aspects of their relationship which fans saw play out on her documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In the film, Ben discovered Jennifer had shared his love letters that he had kept private for more than twenty years with musicians.

The Hollywood star – who has battled alcoholism and a gambling addiction for decades – was ‘taken aback’ she had shared them as he had clung onto his correspondence with the singer during his 13-year marriage to Jennifer Garner.

He later had the letters and emails bound into a book to gift J-Lo when they reunited in 2021.
