Jennifer Lopez met Ben Affleck while filming the rom-com “Gigli” in 2001, the same year she married Cris Judd. So when she filed for divorce in 2002 and subsequently entered into a relationship with her co-star, cheating rumors started flying. But she denied it. “I’m a very faithful person. If somebody had told me, ‘Ben’s attracted to you,’ I would have said, ‘No, I wasn’t raised that way,'” she told Reader’s Digest (via Entertainment Weekly).
Not everyone was convinced, including Cris’ father. “She was infatuated with [Affleck] from the start,” Larry Judd told the New York Daily News in 2003. And he suggested Lopez wasn’t being truthful about her faithfulness. “She’d be happier if she’d just tell the truth,” he added. However, his son wasn’t on his side. Cris tried to stop Larry from speaking with the press, which created conflict between father and son.
When the elder Judd didn’t honor his son’s wishes, Cris stopped talking to him for over a year. “And I was like, ‘Well okay, then I don’t have anything to say to you,'” Cris said on “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” in 2013. The estrangement was hard on Cris, who was close to his father. He eventually forgave him because he understood where he was coming from. “No parent wants to see their child go through pain, especially in tabloids when most of it’s not true,” he said. Cris never commented on the allegations.
