Different Perspectives on Relationships in the Public Eye
Just a few months before the rumblings of a split emerged, Ben shared insight into his and Jennifer’s very different approaches to privacy.
“I had a very firm sense of boundaries initially around the press while Jen I don’t think objected to it in the way I did,” the Argo star explained in the Grammy nominee’s documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told that was released in February. “I very much did object to it.”
Expressing how the “massive amount of scrutiny” they faced was a “catalyst” for the end of their engagement in the early aughts, Ben said he wanted to keep details of their private life more, well, private after they rekindled their romance in 2021.
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,'” he added. “And then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’ We’re just two people with kind of different approaches trying to learn to compromise.”
