Jennifer Lopez & Jane Fonda Reunite

Jane Fonda Expresses 'Concern' Over JLo & Ben Affleck's Second Try
In The Greatest Love Story Never Told, a documentary JLo produced about her life over the last 20 years, she features a conversation she had with Jane. "I want you to know that—I don't entirely know why—but I feel invested in you and Ben and I really, really want this to work," Jane says to Jennifer over the phone.
"However, this is my concern," Jane continued. "Like, it feels too much like you're trying to prove something instead of just living it. You know, every other photograph is the two of you kissing and the two of you hugging." To that, all Jen had to say was, "That's just us living our life." And again, we all know how that ended up...She should've listened to Jane!
