Jennifer Lopez Has ‘PTSD’ From First Split With Ben Affleck

Famous singer and actress Jennifer Lopez says she has PTSD from her first split with Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck being together again is a dream come true for most. The “I’m Real” star revealed that she has PTSD from the intense media scrutiny they endured when they first dated. The star refuses to put the spotlight on her marriage in her upcoming “This Is Me… Now” album and companion film.

She told Variety, “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,” Lopez added. “It’s about being true to who you are.”

“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.”

JLo’s forthcoming album is out on Feb. 16, and will be a sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then.” It will have a companion film which has been billed as a “narrative-driven and intimate reimagining” of the singer’s “publicly scrutinized love life.”EW calls it a ” ‘heartfelt ode’ to Lopez’s journey of ‘self-healing and her everlasting belief in fairytale endings.’ ”

The film will reportedly feature star-studded cameos. The album’s first single “Can’t Get Enough,” will be released on Jan. 10.
