Jennifer Lopez agrees with Jennifer Garner on marriage to Ben Affleck

On July 2nd, Jennifer Lopez hosted an exclusive listening party in Los Angeles where she showcased six new songs, with one in particular drawing attention for its potential reference to Ben Affleck. A fan in attendance shared with Us Weekly that “Wreckage of You” was the standout track among the ones played that evening. These new singles are expected to be featured in her upcoming tour and Las Vegas residency.

According to supporter Edgardo Luis Rivera, “Wreckage of You” is a pop ballad that Lopez co-wrote and recorded just two weeks prior to the event. Lopez expressed to her fans that the past year had been a challenging period for her, both personally and professionally, and she emphasized the importance of focusing on herself. Now, feeling stronger and better than ever at 55 years old, the superstar wanted to create a song about emerging from a difficult situation with renewed strength.

Rivera shared that Lopez had the word “wreck” in mind during the songwriting process, as it signifies destruction, yet her spirit remained unbroken. The lyrics of the song reflect this sentiment with the line, “I’m stronger after the wreckage of you.” This line seems to allude to her previous marriage to Ben Affleck, as noted by Lainey Gossip, who highlighted the similarities between Lopez’s words and Garner’s previous comments about Affleck.

In a famous Vanity Fair interview from February 2016, Jennifer Garner candidly discussed the complexities of being married to a movie star like Ben Affleck. Despite acknowledging his brilliance and charisma, Garner revealed the challenges of navigating his shadow when his attention was elsewhere. She humorously mentioned his infamous phoenix tattoo, jokingly questioning if she was the “ashes” in that metaphorical scenario and playfully distancing herself from that association.

The parallels between Lopez’s song “Wreckage of You” and Garner’s past remarks on her marriage to Affleck are striking. Both terms, “wreckage” and “ashes,” share a common theme in these intertwined narratives of relationships with the same individual. It is intriguing to observe how Lopez’s lyrical choice mirrors Garner’s reflections from nearly a decade ago, hinting at a shared experience of navigating the complexities of love and loss in the public eye.
