Ben Affleck’s shock over Mindy Kaling’s ‘unexpected’ DNC quip about Jennifer Lopez divorce revealed: ‘It was a full-face palm moment’
As a seasoned observer of celebrity relationships, I must say that the saga of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck is as captivating as it is perplexing. Having watched their love story unfold over two decades, I find myself both enthralled by its resilience and slightly baffled by its twists and turns.
It is reported that Mindy Kaling’s joke about Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday left Ben feeling disappointed, according to sources.
After months of rumors, the 52-year-old actor and his 55-year-old spouse, who are no longer together, formally announced their separation on Tuesday evening. The divorce petition was filed by the musician.
The following day, Kaling, aged 45, playfully acknowledged her recent marital issues, simultaneously expressing appreciation for the outstanding representation from her home state, Massachusetts.
As she began to list off sports teams and famous names from the state such as the Boston Red Sox and Jason Tatum, The Mindy Project star then stated, ‘Ben Affleck, hang in there!’ followed by loud cheers from the crowd.
In an exclusive reveal to DailyMail.com, a source noted that when Ben discovered he had been introduced at the DNC by Mindy, it was a situation that called for a facepalm, even though it happened in the heat of the moment and may have been said jokingly.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share the fascinating tidbit I recently picked up: It turned out my beloved Argo star was taken aback when his private affairs became a talking point at a political gathering!
The source added that he’d least anticipate or desire discussing his divorce, including it being brought up, in a political gathering, such as a convention.
I’ve learned over the years that respect for one’s privacy is crucial in Hollywood. So, while he won’t directly call out Mindy, it’s a moment when he’d appreciate if his peers in the industry would refrain from discussing his personal life. It’s not about gossip or sensationalism, but rather acknowledging that everyone has their own stories to share, and sometimes they prefer to keep certain aspects private. Let’s respect each other’s boundaries and allow him the space to live his life on his terms.
Eventually, the main actor of Daredevil acknowledges that the joke might quickly lose its charm, yet discussing his divorce in a public setting like this simply underscores one of the major issues that contributed to the marital difficulties.
According to the source, ‘The issue will eventually fade, and it may be forgotten, but the continuous chatter about his romance with JLo was a primary factor in their breakup, this time specifically.’
‘Ben greatly appreciates his privacy, and facing challenges under public scrutiny is a pressure-filled experience for him. It’s particularly annoying when people in his circle of acquaintances bring it up. However, unintentionally, Mindy ended up causing him a problem.’
Matt Damon, who played the lead role in Good Will Hunting, does not anticipate Mindy Kaling to offer an apology for her past joke and prefers to advance in life, concluding this specific phase as he progresses.
The source confirmed: ‘He doesn’t want an apology, an excuse or anything, what was said is what was said, time to move on. He just wishes that he didn’t have to move on from anything at all.
He aims to be recognized primarily for his accomplishments at work and as an exceptional parent, rather than due to any errors or unfortunate events that may occur in his life.
The insider observed: ‘Mindy took care of business, but he’s choosing not to elevate it; it was a minor disturbance, now it’s time for him to focus on significant matters in his life.’
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Affleck and Kaling.
Kaling acknowledged Lopez’s court filing, which she made without a lawyer on Tuesday, mere hours before their second wedding anniversary. This action of hers went viral.
According to legal papers acquired by DailyMail.com, the singer of “On The Floor” mentioned April 26, 2024 as the date of their separation. Notably, it was disclosed that they did not have a prenuptial agreement prior to their wedding ceremony.
In 2002, Lopez and Affleck began their relationship when they found a connection while working together on the movie “Gigli.” Their bond grew strong rather swiftly, leading them to get engaged not long after.
But they called it quits in 2004, just before they were set to become husband and wife.
After marrying different individuals – J.Lo tied the knot with Marc Anthony in 2004 and Affleck wed Jennifer Garner in 2005 – they parted ways with their previous spouses, but eventually rekindled their relationship.
In July 2022, the renowned duo got married in a small, intimate ceremony at a Las Vegas chapel. A grander and more elaborate celebration took place approximately one month later, on August 20th, at his estate in Georgia.
Rumors of a potential divorce began circulating around May, as they hadn’t been spotted together for over a month before that. It is said that problems within their marriage emerged during their honeymoon in Italy last year (2022).
How the pair approached fame appeared to cause problems in the marriage.
Previously, Affleck expressed a desire to maintain their relationship as private in Jennifer Lopez’s documentary titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”
The movie traced the creation process of her newest album, titled “This Is Me… Now,” with much of it stemming from her relationship with Affleck.
In a scene of the film, Affleck confessed that he was surprised and caught off guard when he discovered her band members were sifting through his personal love letters, which Jennifer Lopez had shared with them to inspire her upcoming album.
During his 13-year marriage to Garner, the actor held on to his letters and emails from the singer. Later, he compiled these correspondences into a book as a gift when they reconnected in 2021.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I firmly believe that personal matters hold a unique allure and value. After all, it’s their exclusivity that sets them apart and makes them truly precious.
Lopez reportedly ‘will keep the $5 million green diamond engagement ring’ amid the divorce.
In the next two weeks, they are likely to be seen together again as they have been compelled to reunion for the premiere of their movie, “Unstoppable.”
