Ben Affleck Talks About Jennifer Lopez Break-up


Ben Affleck has finally talked about his high-profile engagement to Jennifer Lopez, saying the pair was "too accessible" to the media.

Affleck and Lopez - both now remarried with children - began dating in 2002 after meeting on set of their film "Gigli." The former couple broke-up shortly before they were supposed to marry in September 2004, marking the end of a media event that surrounded their relationship.

He says, "I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don't think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own."

The actor is expecting his second child with actress Jennifer Garner -- whom he married in 2005 - later this year.

Jennifer Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004 and gave birth to twins in February 2008.

How Jennifer Lopez Shed Her Pregnancy Weight Gain


Jennifer Lopez gained 50 pounds when she was pregnant with twins, who she gave birth to back in February of this year.

But unlike most celebrities who take extreme measures to drop the baby weight, she took the slow and steady course towards regaining her figure. Lopez's famous curves are back and she's looking great. Here are her slimming secrets:

The Diet
========

So what kind of dietary regimen has Jennifer been following to get back in shape? Take a look:

- Four separate mini-meals are consumed each day, comprising a total of 1400 calories -- very healthy.

- So what do these mini-meals comprise of? Fresh fruit, raw vegetables, protein and plenty of water consumption. Egg-white omelettes, Greek yogurt for snacks and plenty of lean white meats like tuna, chicken or fish also.

- In her attempt to get down to 120 pounds, Lopez has cut all red meat out of her diet. She also avoids alcohol, doesn't smoke and goes to bed early most nights.

The Work-Outs
=============

Here's a look at her exercise program:

- She works out for 45 to 75 minutes four times a week, under the supervision of her personal trainer Gunnar Peterson.

- She started off with light cardio and some body-weight exercises six weeks after giving birth. Her routine consisted of 20-30 minute walks with varying sets of push-ups and lunges.

- To prepare for the Malibu triathlon (that she completed) in September/08, Lopez trained for biking, swimming and running.
