Secret’s out
Jennifer met Ben while she was married to Chris Judd, as we’ve already mentioned. Ben, on the other hand, had no girlfriend because he had broken up with Gwyneth Paltrow in 2000. Thus, Jennifer was aware that he wasn’t just having fun.
The actual deal was more than welcome for him. And J.Lo found him much more alluring as a result. She filed for divorce from Chris in June 2002, and soon after—to the astonishment of everyone—she and Ben went public.
