- Jane perceived an impression that J.Lo and Ben Affleck's romance could potentially crumble once more.
In February 2024, the film "The Unspoken Masterpiece of Love" hit the screens, chronicling Jennifer Lopez's journey towards self-love throughout her years, sharing her perspectives directly. A noteworthy line from the trailer goes, "The cost of growing older is wisdom," and it appears that Jane Fonda, who also features in the documentary, is brimming with it.
These two ladies haveBuilt a strong bond since 2004, when they collaborated on the movie "Brute in Law". During this film, Jennifer Lopez played the main character Charlie Cantilini and Jane Fonda portrayed her future mother-in-law, Viola Fields. Fonda was making a comeback to the silver screen following a 15-year hiatus from acting at that time. So, when Jennifer Lopez decided to create a documentary about her life, it was only fitting for her long-time buddy, Jane Fonda, to be a part of it.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Relationship in the Spotlight
A significant part of Jennifer Lopez's life revolved around Ben Affleck, who she rekindled a relationship with in 2021 after nearly two decades. This time, they tied the knot, only to announce their divorce not long after. Jennifer Lopez is rumored to have filed for divorce. Fonda, however, had voiced her concerns earlier in the documentary, at 86 years old, expressing affectionately, "I just want you to know that – I don't know why – but I truly care about you and Ben, and I genuinely hope that this works out for you both."
Though, she had worries that the couple focused too heavily on their public image as a fairy-tale romance rather than nurturing their "true and real" relationship. "It seems as though you're more eager to prove something rather than simply live," Fonda advised Lopez. "I can't help but notice that every other image features you both affectionately kissing and hugging."
At that time, Lopez dismissively brushed off Fonda's concerns, defending her actions by stating they were just "living our lives". But it appears now that Fonda may have had an inkling that this love revival was not long for this world.
In response to Jennifer Lopez's concerns, Jane Fonda continued to offer guidance, suggesting, "Perhaps you could benefit from spending less time seeking validation through public displays and more time investing in your private connection." Later in the documentary, as speculations of divorce circulated, Fonda's earlier words resonated more strongly, showcasing her wisdom and insight into her friend's relationships.
