Jennifer Lopez is freaking out that her ex-husband Ben Affleck will reveal all the salacious details of their rollercoaster love affair on a new podcast, sources tell GLOBE.
Ben, 52, is being offered big bucks to do a podcast with best bud Matt Damon — a nightmare scenario for J.Lo, according to an insider.
Although Ben is keen to spill his guts about the highs and lows of his chaotic love life, the series is actually being pitched as a way to build their studio, Artists Equity.

“A weekly show from Matt and Ben would be a cheap way to crank up cash flow and create a direct line to their fans like never before,” says an insider.
“Everybody who knows Matt and Ben knows they have a pretty incredible story to tell, and they can correct misconceptions about themselves while they’re at it.”
But the idea of Ben baring his soul strikes terror in the 55-year-old Hustlers star’s heart!
On the JLo
“J.Lo’s greatest fear is that Ben will give a warts-and-all account of his life, including the full, uncensored details of their relationship. When they were together, the topic of a possible tell-all came up a few times, and Ben reassured her that he’d never do a cheesy kiss-and-tell type story,” the insider says. “But that was then, and J.Lo knows that money talks.”
According to our source, Ben would love to be able to set the story straight. “He’s known to be extremely fed up with some of the false narratives that have been spread about how he treated J.Lo. Even now he’s relentlessly grilled about what went wrong and why he chose to get back with her. It would be the ultimate betrayal from her perspective, and the fact that he seems to be considering it has caused a lot of angst as she sweats over how it will play out.”
