She told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k483keDRsys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sunday Mornings<\/a>, &#8220;Honestly, I have to say it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it changed me. It helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow [and] become more self-aware. I&#8217;m a different person now than I was last year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Discussing his participation in\u00a0The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Ben told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq-magazine.co.uk\/article\/ben-affleck-interview-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">GQ<\/a>, &#8220;Part of it was, &#8216;OK, if I&#8217;m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that&#8217;s interesting.&#8217; Because I thought it was an interesting examination. Like I mentioned to you before, there are a lot of people who I think have handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have, Jennifer among them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in\u00a0relationships, you don&#8217;t always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that? Because exactly what [the interviewer] said is true. I love and support this person. I believe in them. They&#8217;re great. I want people to see that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I think the thing that I said in that documentary or the piece that they used was where I said,\u00a0You don&#8217;t marry a ship&#8217;s captain and then say, &#8216;Well, I don&#8217;t like going out in the water.&#8217;\u00a0You&#8217;ve got to own what you knew going into any relationship. And I think it&#8217;s important to say that wasn\u2019t the cause of some major fracture. It&#8217;s not like you can watch that\u00a0documentary\u00a0and go, &#8216;Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"However, they ultimately weren&#8217;t meant to be.
