As Jennifer Lopez launches her new album and a documentary, insiders say hubby Ben Affleck has been left humiliated by her X-rated oversharing
She often hits the headlines for her sensational style, performances and age-defying looks – but Jennifer Lopez has caused a stir following the launch of her new film and album This Is Me Now: A Love Story for all the wrong reasons.
The self-funded musical film – which features all the songs from her new album and a cast of actors – left viewers baffled by the strange concept, nonsensical storyline and also the mum-of-two’s oversharing about her sex life with husband Ben Affleck.

This Is Me… Now largely follows Jennifer’s colourful love life – in particular, her fairy-tale romance with Ben. The pair famously rekindled their relationship in 2021, 18 years after they initially called off their engagement just days before they were due to walk down the aisle.
At the time, insiders said the relationship ended as Ben was uncomfortable with the relentless media attention. After reuniting, the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, before having a second lavish wedding in Georgia months later.
SACRED
This week, a documentary showing the behind-the-scenes of the creation of her film and album, titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told will air – and in an interview, Ben told how he was “taken aback” when he found songwriters poring over his l
