As a seasoned observer and chronicler of love stories that have captivated the world, I find myself deeply moved by the rollercoaster ride that is Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s relationship. With a combined experience spanning three decades in Hollywood, these two powerhouses have managed to rekindle their romance and create a modern fairy tale that has left us all spellbound.
Ben Affleck knows that not all of his movies are hits.
Indeed, the director of the movie “Air” has recently spoken out about the commercial flop of his 2003 production with Jennifer Lopez, entitled “Gigli”, and explained why he continues to carry a sense of remorse over it to this day.
He clarified during an interview with Deadline on November 8, alongside his friend Matt Damon, “I’ve been part of films similar to Gigli, which is quite well-known. I received a substantial payment for that role. However, looking back, it doesn’t feel right because the movie didn’t make a profit.
Certainly, Ben openly acknowledged that their company, Artists Equity, strives to prevent the kind of imbalance often seen in films between studios, actors, and distributors by actively redefining these relationships.
Ben mused about Gigli, saying it wasn’t the film with the greatest financial losses despite being infamously known as a box office flop. Yet, this fact still feels uncomfortable to him.
However, unlike other films that have suffered greater financial losses, Ben – father of Violet (age 18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12) with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – is correct in pointing out that not many box office flops are as well-known as his and J.Lo’s 2003 movie.
The $72 million project yielded just $7 million in revenue, and the actor who played in Argo suggested that the notoriety of its failure was due to his high-profile romance with Jennifer Lopez during the 2000s.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly back in 2022, I, as an ardent fan, shared my insights about that particular film: “The truth is, everything connected to a movie significantly shapes how it’s perceived.” Remarkably, for a film that was infamously labeled a flop and disaster, surprisingly few people have actually watched it.
To put it another way, it’s worth mentioning that Ben’s connection with J.Lo, which was revitalized in 2021 and led to their marriage in the same year, but ended in divorce this August, played a significant role in the movie’s success.
Ben mentioned that he had started a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, which was creating quite a buzz and selling numerous magazines. He then commented about the studio, saying they immediately jumped on the idea, ‘They wanted a romantic comedy featuring both of them. They demanded more of the same!’
Still, Ben also called the negative reaction of the film “a gift.”
He mentioned that if the response to “Gigli” had been different, he might not have realized his deep passion for directing movies, which has become the most significant aspect of his professional journey. Additionally, he was fortunate enough to meet Jennifer, a relationship that holds great significance in his personal life.
In fact, J.Lo mentioned that the only thing she remembers fondly about the movie Gigli is her chance encounter with Ben on set.
She confessed to Variety in February that her memory of the subject isn’t crystal clear, but she does recall spending each day on set with him and enjoying every moment of it.
Despite Gigli’s poor performance at the box office, delve deeper to discover how it served as a spark for an extraordinary, untold love story.
In West Hollywood, they get ready to shoot a movie scene. This couple first crossed paths on the movie’s set.

As an ardent supporter and admirer, I was ecstatically present at the 2021 Global Citizen Live event held in the vibrant city of New York. The main attraction? None other than the iconic J.Lo herself! She graced the stage with her mesmerizing performance, making it a significant return to the music scene since her appearance at VAX LIVE in May. The air was electric, and whispers of a potential rekindled romance between her and the actor swirled around, fueled by their shared stage presence at separate times during the event.

At the New York City premiere of “The Last Duel,” I was thrilled to be part of the crowd witnessing an electrifying performance by Jen and Ben as they charmed the red carpet together.
