Following the news of their divorce, Jennifer Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, has seen a significant surge in viewership, with Ben Affleck playing a pivotal role in the project.

According to sources, the 52-year-old actor had significant control over the documentary, which chronicles the couple’s reunion and rekindled romance after 20 years apart.

“[Affleck] was the one who had control, pretty much,” an insider revealed, adding that the actor was “very much in favor” of the project and was a driving force behind Lopez’s decision to create the movie and album, as well as the documentary.

The documentary, which was released in February alongside Lopez’s album This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, was initially thought to have been met with hesitation by Affleck. However, sources close to the couple have revealed that this was a false narrative, and that Affleck was deeply involved in editing the film.

Despite reports suggesting that Affleck was uncomfortable with the documentary’s focus on his marriage to Lopez, sources have revealed that he was actively involved in the project’s creation and editing.

“[Affleck] definitely took it away from the director so he could have the narrative he wanted out there,” an insider said, adding that the actor was “very supportive” of Lopez’s creative endeavors and encouraged her to share their love story with the world.

The documentary has sparked controversy, with some viewers criticizing the couple’s decision to share intimate details of their relationship with the public.

“[Affleck] was very much in favor [of the project], and he was a driving force for [Lopez] to do the movie and the album and then he insisted on the documentary, where it looked like he was hesitant and almost surprised by it,’ the source continued. ‘But that was a false narrative'”

The couple’s relationship has been subject to intense media scrutiny, with many fans expressing sadness and disappointment following the news of their divorce.

Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck remain committed to their creative endeavors, with Lopez set to release new music and Affleck working on several upcoming film projects.
