Jennifer Lopez

[boricuamusicfan]

Damn, she really is the Puerto Rican Elizabeth Taylor (down to having a successful line of perfume, which is something that many celebs attempt, but very few manage to). Granted, Jlo will never be mistaken for a "classy broad" like La Liz, but she is certainly following a similar celebrity path with the marriages and divorces and tabloid shenanigans and whatnot. Not gonna lie, I have always liked Lopez, and always will. Hope that her kids survive all of this effery with their sanity intact.

Liz could act better than JLo. I say she's a Puerto Rican Zsa Zsa Gabor.

So JLo is liking Insta posts about relationship red flags

I’ll take “passive aggressive” for $800 Alex.

JLo should be liking Insta posts about women who take 22 YEARS to start paying attention to their man's red flags.

JLo knew when she met Ben that he was an alcoholic, cocaine addict, gambling addict, spendaholic, insecure egomaniac who disapproved of her lifestyle and that was before he dumped her two days before their wedding. Then she watched him crash and burn a marriage and spend around 10 years trying to attain a questionable level of sobriety. Oh and I forgot that he's a cheater with at least three credible accusations of SA leveled against him, including one against a stripper while he and JLo were engaged the first time.

Dude is way past "red flag" territory.

We see red flags, she sees fireworks and hearts! She hasn't seen anything past the end of her nose in many, many years. I think she re-birthed Bennifer just to see if she could. It didn't matter whether Ben really wanted it or not or whether it was a good idea. It's like something she HAD to do. Same with the album/docu celebrating their love. She probably conceived that during Bennifer 1.0. Never throw away first drafts, says our Jen!

Well if it's true then it's hardly surprising. I do feel really sorry for all the kids though, although at least Ben's have Jennifer Garner and her family.

Both of them should probably be single for a long while. I don't follow any of the players especially closely but from what little I know it seems that Ben seems to think he *should* want marriage and family life but just doesn't and that's the kindest interpretation. Then there's the absolute insanity of knowing JLo wants to be highly visible all the time, including actual documentaries about their life and he just can't stand that but decides to "accept it" knowing it was a deal breaker last time and that he'll be miserable.

I think they both like the idea of each other more than the reality of each other. Well at least there won't be anymore "roads not taken/what ifs" about their relationship they finally do admit they're done again.

TMZ is getting in on the action. X17 got pictures of Ben leaving a house in Brentwood this morning. TMZ says he's been staying there for a week with no signs of JLo. Their marital home, the one that In Touch says he has left, is in Beverly Hills.

If you don't wish to give TMZ a click, it's just a picture of Ben driving, but he conspicuously left his left arm dangling out the window so we could all see that he is wearing his wedding ring.

Brentwood has always been the domain of Bennifer II. Even after Ben split with Jennifer Garner, he always stayed nearby in Brentwood. Is he gravitating back towards Jennifer Garner because of the JLo split? He celebrated Mother's Day with her a few days ago.

Jennifer Garner will never ever, ever ever ever, take Ben back.

Man, I just saw a video of Ben and Jlo getting into their car. Ben opens the passenger door for her, and both of them look sullen and...just not happy. But my goodness, his body language as he closes the passenger door right after she gets in the car makes it seem like he feels trapped. Not saying that this might not be right after some fight that had nothing to do with their marriage, but damn. His face is screaming "GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE! PLEASE!" And I hate even writing this because it perpetuates the sexist "marriage is a prison and the woman in the relationship is the warden!" narrative, but I don't know what else to think. Obviously, Ben is no saint. Jlo is not a saint either. They are simply not meant for each other.

Oh I think marriage to JLo could definitely be a prison. A lily white pleasantly scented one. But a prison, nonetheless.

Not saying that Ben is totally innocent. But I can't imagine living with her 24/7 and he's an idiot for thinking he could. It was clear when they were dating that he didn't enjoy the attention as much as she did. And the minute she started making The Greatest Love Story Never Told - he should have run for the exits.

[dragonflie]

Ben is a full gown adult. Any prison he is in is of his own making 100%.

It's not as if they're some new love who don't know all the details about each other. He went into this, full throttle, and chose to propose to her, to have 2 over the top weddings with her (where he also filmed himself and released images to the public). I actually think Ben is a very lost person who doesn't know what he wants. At least JLo doesn't hide it. She's very clear in wanting the glitz, glamour, attention, and fame.

Ben proclaims to want privacy- but he's the one rubbing her a$$ in music videos, he's the one releasing his own vid as he gets ready to marry her, he's the one who put out an ad in a major Hollywood paper proclaiming his adoration of her, he's the one taking part in her documentary (and then complaining about it after). He wants it too- and then he doesn't. He knew what he was signing up for.

Wow, he didn't get out of the car!
