Jennifer Lopez Says She & Ben Affleck Shared 'Genuine Love'

Jennifer Lopez wars a sequined dress as she heads to the studio for a taping of American Idol on Thursday (March 24) in Los Angeles.

The 46-year-old entertainer was joined by fellow judge Keith Urban as they prepared for that evening’s live show.

Jennifer is opening up to People about her relationship with ex-fiance Ben Affleck in a new interview.

“We didn’t try to have a public relationship,” Jen said. “We just happened to be together at the birth of the tabloids, and it was like ‘Oh my God.’ It was just a lot of pressure.”

“I felt like … ‘Okay, this is it,’” Jennifer said about first meeting Ben. “[But] sometimes I feel like what you think people are and how you see them when you love them is different than when they reveal later.”

“I think different time different thing, who knows what could’ve happened, but there was a genuine love there,” she added.

FYI: Jennifer is wearing an Alex Perry dress and Christian Louboutin shoes.
