THE PATTERN IN JLO’S RELATIONSHIPS
JLo as she is affectionately known tells Vogue that back then, she did not understand what it was to care for herself, to not put somebody else’s feelings and needs.
Jennifer proceeded by adding that it became a constant pattern in her relationships, which she described as a pretzel, that never ended until she began to ask herself why she never felt fulfilled with the person she was with.

“At a certain point you go, ‘Wait, this doesn’t feel good. Why am I never happy? Finally I was just like, It’s time to figure me out,’ ” – as per Hollywood Unlocked.
According to People, the Marry Me actress also opened up about reconnecting with Ben, whom she was first engaged to in the early 2000s before they split. They eventually got back together almost two decades later.

RECONNECTING WITH BEN
The mother of two says she always felt like there was a real love with Ben, a true love.
“People in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real.”
And while she isn’t sure she’d “recommend” the way their relationship has played out “for everybody,” as “sometimes you outgrow each other, or you just grow differently,” Lopez told Vogue that she and Affleck “lost each other and found each other.” – as per People.
