American pop-star Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she and husband actor Ben Affleck “both have PTSD” from the heavy media scrutiny they endured when they first dated in 2003.

 

‘WE’RE WISER. WE KNOW WHAT’S IMPORTANT’
Despite the media scrutiny the couple has faced in the past, Jennifer Lopez has reiterated that they are now much older and wiser. The artist also noted that they’re not worried about the outside world’s opinions.

“But we’re older now. We’re wiser. We also know what’s important, what’s really important in life, and it’s not so much what other people think. It’s about being true to who you are, Jennifer told Variety magazine.

Jennifer continued: “As artists, we have to follow our heart and this is me following my heart and doing something that maybe everybody didn’t think was the best idea, but I had to do it”.
