Bennifer is back in the spotlight.
Jennifer Lopez recently revealed that she and husband Ben Affleck both suffer from “PTSD” due to the intense media attention they received during their first stab at romance together in the early 2000s.
“We both have PTSD” Lopez, 54, told Variety on Wednesday while promoting her new album “This Is Me … Now” and the accompanying short film, which delves into her relationship with Affleck.
“But we’re older now,” the “Let’s Get Loud” hitmaker said. “We’re wiser. We also know what’s important, what’s really important in life, and it’s not so much what other people think. It’s about being true to who you are.”
According to Lopez, not everyone was thrilled with her choice to put her relationship with Affleck, 51, in the spotlight for her new project.
“As artists, we have to follow our heart and this is me following my heart and doing something that maybe everybody didn’t think was the best idea, but I had to do it,” Lopez told the outlet.
Lopez and Affleck famously first dated in 2002 and became engaged before splitting in 2004.
