Recent revelations about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship have pushed fans to wonder whether the couple is treading rough waters in their marriage.
Fans smell trouble after a recent report said that Affleck, 51, was “taken aback” when his 54-year-old wife allowed others to read the private love letters that he penned for her.
According to a Variety report, Lopez had invited some musicians over to their home and passed around Affleck’s love letters for them to read. “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” was what Affleck called the stash of love letters that he wrote for his partner of many years.
A scene from the documentary, titled ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ shows Affleck walking into the room and stumbling upon the group as they passed his letters around, leaving him taken aback, the outlet reported.
“I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it’s the greatest love story never told. If you’re making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it,” he was quoted telling the camera.

‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told’ documentary is scheduled for release on Feb. 27, and it will showcase how Lopez’s upcoming album, ‘This Is Me… Now,’ and accompanying film, ‘This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,’ were made.
Together, the album and the movie are expected to be Lopez’s most daring projects to date, as she independently produced them to portray her journey over the decades.
As Lopez spoke to Variety about her ‘This Is Me … Now’ multimedia project, she described it as her longstanding quest for enduring love.
“I’ve been on this journey, and I’ve been trying to figure it out,” she told the outlet. ”Now, I feel like because Ben and I have rediscovered each other — and now that we’re married — I have something to offer. This is the defining piece of work that’s going to close that chapter so I can move on to the next part of my life.”

Affleck reportedly watched the shoot of ‘This Is Me … Now: A Love Story’ from a close distance as Lopez tried to bring her stellar project to fruition.
The actor has had his own experience with storytelling and won the Best Picture Oscar more than a decade ago for ‘Argo,’ the movie he directed himself.
“He realized this was a surrealistic, fantastical journey that we were making,” Lopez said about Affleck, who seemed to be a guiding light for her throughout the movie-making process, especially when she needed advice.
When Lopez showed Affleck the final cut last year, the pop diva said he gave her the “biggest kind of compliment that I could get.”
“He said, ‘You made a movie. For you. You made a great movie. You did it,’” Lopez told Variety. “Honestly, I don’t care what happens now. That is the biggest kind of compliment that I could get.”

While Lopez and Affleck have been together for several years, their relationship has often been fodder for online critics, who question whether the couple are truly happy together.

“Ben look[s] like he [is] the problem,” one social media user said, while another chimed in, “Jlo is always yelling at Ben.”
“I see them divorced with[in] 6 months,” one commenter declared.
Many came to the couple’s defense and refused to believe the rumors.
“It looks like he’s explaining something to her. Doesn’t look like a fight. Y’all making something out of nothing,” one person said, while another added, “I didn’t see anything weird. lol he just seems to talk with his hands…”
While some fans think they’re pretending for the cameras, others believe the couple is still head over heels in love with each other
