The “Batman“-Star said that different postures to deal with the public were a factor. Jennifer had publicly celebrated her love, including a documentary of 18.5 million euros about her relationship. Ben was difficult to adapt to the slope. “I am quite reserved and private”he said in the interview. Nevertheless, he made it clear that this was not the reason for the last break. Instead, it is due to the “banal reality” of living together between two people. A person close to Ben unveiled the Daily mailThat he had felt the need to take a position according to the public statements of his ex-wife. With the clarification, he also hopes that the publication of his upcoming film “Kiss of the Spider Woman” will not be overshadowed by the divorce.
The relationship between Ben and Jennifer was a media phenomenon from the start. The couple solved their first engagement in 2004 to try only a second attempt around 2021. After a wedding in Las Vegas and a media -effective comeback of her love, the marriage ended after just two years.
