Reflecting on the end of their 2003 engagement, Ben said, "When Jen and I broke up before, the catalyst for that was this massive amount of scrutiny around our private life." Affleck also said that he was very sure that he wanted to create boundaries when it came to the press, but he didn’t think Jennifer Lopez did. He continued by making his stance very clear, but apparently, Lopez did not object to it strongly.
