Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Greatest Love Story Never Told’ Views Skyrocket After Ben Affleck Divorce News

In the 24 hours after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, streams on the former’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary — which dove into the couple’s rekindled romance after a 20-year split — skyrocketed.

According to Luminate, U.S. viewership of the Prime Video flick jumped from 10.7k minutes watched on Tuesday (Aug. 20) — the day the singer filed to legally dissolve her marriage to the actor after two years together — to 354.1k minutes watched on Wednesday (Aug. 21). That makes for a 3,000% increase in just one day.

Chronicling the process of making her most recent album This Is Me … Now, the documentary found Lopez recounting how she and Affleck fell back in love nearly two decades after they called off their original engagement in 2004. They first dated in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli but called it quits two years later, only to get back together in 2021 and finally tie the knot a year later.

The marriage marked the “Jenny From the Block” singer’s fourth wedding, following Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares teenagers Max and Emme. Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner; the exes are parents to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

“I never thought that he and I would get back together,” Lopez told Billboard of Affleck ahead of the premiere of Greatest Love Story Never Told. “I just just couldn’t give up on idea that there was something amazing out there for me, even when it got really bad — and it did at times. I always believed deep, deep down to not give up completely. It wasn’t until I got to the point where I was really OK on my own and not having to be in a relationship when I feel like universe kind of opened up and said, ‘Well here you go.’”

“Then to have this kind of crazy, strange, magical, surrealistic plot twist where I wound up back with that person, it was insane and it was also very inspiring,” she added at the time of the doc’s corresponding album, which debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200. “So I went back in the studio, and in the way that [2002’s] This Is Me… Then captured that first moment in time, I wanted to capture this moment in time.”
