However, they ultimately weren’t meant to be. Jennifer filed for divorce in 2024, and it was finalized a year later. She told CBS Sunday Mornings, “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’m a different person now than I was last year.”
Discussing his participation in The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Ben told GQ, “Part of it was, ‘OK, if I’m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that’s interesting.’ Because I thought it was an interesting examination.

My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you don’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’re great. I want people to see that.

And I think it’s important to say that wasn’t the cause of some major fracture. It’s not like you can watch that documentary and go, ‘Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'”
