J.Lo 'Broken Heart' Story Disputed

Just how upset is J.Lo? A report that singer-actress Jennifer Lopez was "extremely brokenhearted" over her breakup with actor Ben Affleck is now in question.

According to a representative for Lopez, she was never interviewed by Star magazine which reported the broken heart story.

Star also reported that Lopez felt she had put "enormous effort" into the relationship with Affleck, but in the end had to end it so she could put her "personal and professional life back together."

The Lopez camp said she never spoke to Victoria Gotti, the reporter who wrote the Star "scoop."

The tabloid said it stands by its report.

The New York Daily News later reported the same story, citing Star.

However, other celebrity magazines are reporting that the breakup was J.Lo's idea.

Sources have told magazines, including People, that Lopez broke off her engagement to Affleck because she didn't care for his partying and gambling.

Reportedly the last straw was when she saw photos of Affleck and his actor buddy Matt Damon hanging out with young ladies in Berlin.

People magazine said the couple planned to marry in October at Affleck's place in Georgia. They even applied for a marriage license and asked the FAA to restrict flights over the area.

But, People reported, Affleck got cold feet.
