JLo fans think her new film Marry Me is 'based on her OWN love life' & believe Owen Wilson plays Ben
JENNIFER "JLo" Lopez’s fans think her new romantic comedy, Marry Me, is actually based on her own love life.
Some believe the new movie puts a spin of true story of the singer’s real-life romances, with Owen Wilson’s character acting as a stand-in for her love Ben Affleck.
Leading the cast of the new movie, JLo plays Kat Valdez, a superstar singer whose romantic life is rocked by a bombshell cheating scandal.
After her fiancé Bastian (Maluma) is caught having an affair with her assistant, Kat decides to switch things up and picks out a random guy, Owen's Charlie Gilbert, in the crowd to marry right then and there.
Though the movie is based on the Bobby Crosby graphic novel of the same name, some fans think JLo signed on as both a star and a producer because it resembled her own life.
After seeing a clip of the hitmaker explaining the concept of the flick, one Twitter user asked: “Is this her true story?”
Another just jokingly flat-out said that that's actually the case, writing: “It’s crazy that that JLo / Owen Wilson movie is based on a true story!”
A third tweeted: “jlo finally made a movie about all her engagements...the real [goat]."

One of JLo’s detective fans worked to point out some of the similarities between the movie and her real life to show how the former might actually be based on the latter.
“Watched Marry Me last night,” the user tweeted, before claiming “it’s autobiographical.”
They speculated: “My take away is that Marc Anthony cheated on Jlo.
“And that [her manager and a Marry Me exec producer] Benny Medina confused Matt Damon with Ben Affleck from Good Will Hunting when they made Owen Wilson a math teacher.
“The first very brief marriage is the tell.”
In the new film, JLo's character was married multiple times and her first one lasted just 48 hours.
JLO'S LOVE LIFE
In real life, JLo has also had a few marriages, and her first one, to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa, last from just February 1997 to January 1998.
She then went on to marry her backup dancer, Cris Judd, in September 2001.
The pair split a year later.
Soon, JLo and Ben, nicknamed "Bennifer," quickly became a prominent super couple when they started dating in 2002.
The duo became engaged in November 2002 and were due to get married in September 2003 but postponed the wedding indefinitely just a day before the ceremony, then split in 2004.
UPS AND DOWNS
Later that year, she married Marc, her longtime friend-turned-lover.
JLo gave birth to their twins Emme and Maximillian in February 2008.
Just three years later, in July 2011, the couple announced their split and filed for divorce in April 2012.
Their divorce was finalized in 2014, with Lopez retaining primary custody of the twins.
Before reconciling her romance with Ben last year, JLo and Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez were together from 2017 until earlier 2021.

In 2019, it was announced the pair were engaged.
However, things turned sour when rumors about A-Rod being unfaithful began to circulate, and the pair split in March of last year, and she soon reunited with her old flame Ben.
