OMG, Jennifer Lopez Speaks Out About Her Controversial $20 Million Decision With Ex-Husband Ben Affleck – You Won’t Believe What She Reveals!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been a headline-making couple since their reunion in the 2020s, and their renewed romance inspired her ambitious project, This Is Me Now. The album and accompanying film offer a fictionalized account of her life over the past two decades, blending her personal journey with her iconic career. Notably, she invested $20 million of her own money to finance the project.
The project features cameos from celebrities like Jane Fonda, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sophia Vergara, along with a special appearance by Ben Affleck. A behind-the-scenes documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, provided insight into the creative process. However, the film was criticized on social media for its heavy-handed messaging and commercial overtones.
Commercially, This Is Me Now underperformed, selling only 14,000 copies in its first week and debuting at number 38 on the Billboard 200. This was a stark contrast to her 2014 album A.K.A., which debuted at number 8. Despite this, Jennifer remained undeterred and continued to pursue her artistic vision.
In an interview with Variety, Jennifer described herself as a “hopeless romantic” who found closure in the project and in her rekindled relationship with Ben. Although Ben is known for his privacy, he supported her by praising the film after viewing it. Her journey with This Is Me Now stands as a testament to her evolution as both an artist and a woman embracing her love story.
