Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her previous and very public relationship to Ben Affleck.

In the December issue of InStyle US, the 49-year-old admitted that dating in the spotlight was “worse” when she was with the actor back in 2002 than it is now with her current boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez.

“It was actually worse then,” she told the magazine about the buzz that surround the pair. “It was just crazy.”

Tabloids couldn’t get enough of the pair — who got engaged in 2003 before splitting in 2004 — dubbing them “Bennifer” and running countless articles about their relationship. That’s why Lopez believes that social media has made dating in the spotlight easier for celebrity couples because stars can directly communicate with their fans.

“Now at least I can show you who I am a little bit,” said Lopez. “Back then you just believed anything you read on the cover of a tabloid. Many times it wasn’t true, or it was like a third of the truth.”

Still, it didn’t help that Lopez and Affleck, 46, paraded their romance on the streets and on the screens — when they weren’t driving expensive cars down Rodeo Drive, they starred in two films together, Gigli and Jersey Girl, and he even featured in her music video, ‘Jenny From the Block’, against the advice of her team.

“Jennifer and Ben were asking for it with that video,” says Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, who runs Lopez’s company Nuyorican Productions. “I told her, ‘I’m selling you as a maid [in Maid in Manhattan], and you guys are driving around in Bentleys?’”

But you live and learn, and Lopez is thankful for the experience the relationship brought as it’s only helped to strengthen her bond with Rodriguez.

“When we met, we’d both already done a lot of work on ourselves,” said Lopez of the former New York Yankees star. “Everybody has flaws, and the people I want in my life are the people who recognise that and are willing to work on those flaws.”
