Ben Affleck gives surprising three-word response when asked about Jennifer Lopez amid tense divorce

As I read through this heartwarming tale of love, resilience, and second chances, I can’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Their journey is not just a testament to their enduring love, but also to the power of perseverance and the importance of finding joy in one’s work and relationships.


In simple terms, Ben Affleck offered high compliments for his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s acting in the upcoming movie “Unstoppable,” as he serves as a producer for this project.

The actor-director from Air, aged 52, currently going through a divorce with Jennifer Lopez, 55, expressed his admiration for her performance in the sports drama as Judy Robles to Entertainment Tonight on Sunday, stating that she is simply outstanding.

The two-time Oscar-winner appeared in the interview with friend and Artists Equity production partner Matt Damon, 54; and reigning Best Actor Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, 48, who stars in another movie the production company is releasing, titled Small Things Like These.

The movie “Unstoppable,” helmed by William Goldenberg, is scheduled to hit the big screens on December 6. This film boasts an impressive lineup of actors, including Lopez, Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle.

In the movie “Unstoppable”, Jerome takes on the character of Anthony Robles, the determined Arizona State University amateur wrestler, who was born without one leg.

Affleck stated that while ‘Unstoppable’ is a distinct movie, it shares a common thread with it in that they are both deeply rooted in the fervor of exceptionally talented artists. He further mentioned that Goldenberg, Jennifer, Don Cheadle, Jharrel, and Bobby Cannavale were all extremely passionate about this particular film.

Affleck mentioned that ‘Unstoppable’ is yet another movie they (Affleck and Damon) feel deeply proud of, as they trusted the right individuals while working together on it.

In an interview with Nikki Glaser (published on October 9 in Interview magazine), Lopez shared that she’s navigating the current phase of her life using the knowledge and insight gained from life experiences.

Lopez shared that throughout his life, he’s primarily been striving to prove he’s worthy, until reaching this point where he confidently acknowledges himself. He’s offering praise and encouragement to the young girl from the Bronx who he once was, saying, “You’ve accomplished a lot.” For many years, he failed to provide that self-validation.

Now, considering all the experiences I’ve gone through in life, my friendships, my work, it feels like offering a measure of comfort and affection to oneself.

Lopez talked about how she copes with adversity amid trying times.

She remarked, ‘You’ve faced numerous challenges, some of which remain unspoken, yet you’ve shown resilience and determination not to yield or succumb. This speaks volumes because there are moments when life becomes overwhelming, making us consider quitting or saying, “I can’t do this anymore.” However, your persistence is commendable.’

‘But I’m not there. I refuse to not give myself everything that little girl deserves.’

In March 2023, Affleck expressed to CBS Sunday Morning his enjoyment of collaborating closely with Lopez during the filming of the movie.

It was a delight and such pleasure to collaborate with her, witnessing her excel, sharing the workplace with my spouse, sharing the workplace with my dearest friend, Affleck stated earlier. He suggested that if you don’t enjoy who you work with or face challenges at work, it could lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and discomfort for many individuals.

‘And conversely, [if] you love the people at work, you probably have a pretty good life, you know?’

Affleck mentioned to the source that Lopez was involved in the film project. He said, “I can’t present it as though she’s doing it out of kindness for me, but in reality, she is.

In the past, Affleck and Lopez collaborated on projects together, which included their romantic period approximately two decades ago. Notable among these collaborations were the critically panned comedy “Gigli” in 2003, as well as “Jersey Girl,” a film directed by Kevin Smith in 2004.

In August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce following several months of rumors about the status of her high-profile romance with the actor-director.

On the second wedding anniversary, documents were submitted by Lopez at Affleck’s property situated beyond Savannah, Georgia, on the 20th of August, 2022.

In the year 2021, there was much buzz as Lopez and Affleck reignited their relationship; this came about seventeen years following the cancellation of their initial engagement and the delay of their planned wedding in September 2003.

News emerged in April 2021 indicating that the artist and the award-winning filmmaker had resumed contact following Jennifer Lopez’s split with retired baseball player Alex Rodriguez.

In July of last year, the pair publicly acknowledged their romantic involvement through Instagram posts. They then graced the red carpet together for the first time at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. On July 16th, 2022, they got married at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas by exchanging wedding vows.

In her newsletter On the JLo on July 17, 2022, Lopez expressed that our wedding turned out to be the most ideal we could have envisioned. It was a dream we had held onto for a long time and finally came true (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible, and each other) at last.

On August 20, 2022, exactly two years after Lopez filed for divorce, the couple repeated their vows once more at Affleck’s property located outside of Savannah, Georgia.

Lopez is the parent of 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she had during her marriage with Marc Anthony, who is currently 56 years old. Their union spanned from 2004 until 2014.

Affleck, previously married to Jennifer Garner for a span of 13 years (from 2005 to 2018), shares three kids with her: an 18-year-old named Violet, a 15-year-old called Fin, and Samuel, who is 12 years old.
