Jane Fonda's Prediction on JLo and Ben Affleck

In a revealing moment captured in the documentary "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story," actress Jane Fonda shared her apprehensions about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship months before their recent separation. Fonda conveyed her emotional investment in the couple's romance, stating, "I really, really want this to work," during a conversation with Lopez. Despite their public displays of affection over the past two years, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing April 26, 2024, as their date of separation. Fonda's concerns were heightened by a moment at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where she observed Affleck appearing disheartened. In discussions with Lopez's manager, Benny Medina, Fonda emphasized the importance of handling their relationship with care to avoid public scrutiny. Medina recounted Fonda's belief that the couple's love story was "sacrosanct" and should be protected from criticism. The documentary also features Affleck discussing the couple's desire for privacy, particularly after their high-profile reunion in 2021, nearly 17 years after their initial engagement was called off. The film chronicles Lopez's latest album, inspired by her romance with Affleck, revealing intimate moments, including Affleck's surprise at discovering Lopez had shared his private love letters with her musicians for inspiration. Lopez and Affleck's relationship has been a focal point of media attention since they confirmed their rekindled romance in 2021, culminating in their engagement in April 2022 and a lavish celebration shortly thereafter.
