Secret measures Ben Affleck takes to avoid hearing about estranged wife Jennifer Lopez

Secret measures Ben Affleck takes to avoid hearing about estranged wife Jennifer Lopez

As someone who has had my fair share of relationship rollercoasters, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of sympathy for both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck as they navigate through their second go-around. Their journey is a testament to the complexities of love, the passage of time, and the human spirit’s resilience.

Despite Jennifer Lopez speaking openly about Ben Affleck following their unexpected separation, the actor is choosing to remain oblivious, even taking steps to eliminate any references to her from his surroundings.

In 2021, Affleck, aged 52, reignited his relationship with the singer of On the Floor, who is also 55 years old. However, fans were disheartened when she filed for divorce in August, following months of rumors that their two-year marriage was falling apart.

Even as they worked through the details of their divorce, they found themselves compelled to collaborate professionally, promoting his latest movie, Unstoppable, where Lopez played the main character.

Apart from his professional life, Affleck prefers not to engage with news regarding Lopez and their breakup. He’s set up a phone filter to shield himself from such stories as he shows no curiosity towards her views on their brief rekindled romance.

According to a source, Ben deliberately steers clear of the internet, specifically avoiding topics related to his divorce with JLo. He generally stays away from social media and refuses to engage with content concerning her.

To be honest, I’ve set up a filter on my phone specifically for Jennifer Lopez. This way, any content or searches related to her are automatically blocked.

“Ben hasn’t uttered a single word regarding their separation, nor does he seem interested in hearing what she might be saying about him.

Previously, it was unveiled that Affleck had been mindful in maintaining the failed marriage wouldn’t influence their film and wouldn’t hinder his ex from receiving due recognition for her acting talent.

On November 4th, the actor finally spoke up following their separation, commending Jennifer Lopez for her outstanding portrayal of Judy Robles in the sports drama. He firmly believes in maintaining a peaceful atmosphere.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, I found myself among esteemed company – two-time Oscar winner Matt Damon, my fellow producer, and the current Best Actor honoree, Cillian Murphy, aged 48, who graces our latest production, Small Things Like These.

On December 6, I had the privilege of watching a movie that hit the big screens, featuring talented actors like Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle, and Jharrel Jerome. Notably, Jharrel portrays Anthony Robles, an inspiring amateur wrestler from Arizona State University, who was born with only one leg.

At that point, a source stated that Ben hopes Unstoppable will become a significant success, with Jennifer Lopez earning all the recognition she deserves for her work in it.

Ben is cautious that his relationship might overshadow the film’s success and her acting prowess. He prefers the film and her performance to speak for themselves independently.

The source added: ‘He understands that questions about Jen will come up during interviews. He’s determined to keep things polite and professional.’

‘He truly believes she killed it. Ben is a filmmaker, and an Oscar winner himself, he knows what works, and he always thought JLo would be incredible.’

Another report suggests that Affleck, who maintains a strong bond with his daughter Violet, aged 18, and J.Lo, understands that whatever he says about his former partner could generate significant media attention in the upcoming period. However, he has no intentions of providing further details on the matter.

Jennifer Garner, who was married to Affleck for 13 years, has also distanced herself from Lopez.

In her 52 years, she found herself feeling manipulated, much like a chess piece, as the actor’s marriage to Lopez crumbled.

Before the singer officially filed for divorce, I found myself stepping in as an unofficial marriage counselor, trying to help a couple that was clearly struggling. Some friends of mine were worried that I had been put in the uncomfortable position of playing mediator.

According to a source, Jen has expressed that she no longer desires direct interaction with JLo, except in matters concerning their children. (DailyMail.com reported this last month)

I find myself reflecting on the advice that my peers have given me, suggesting perhaps I should have maintained a more distant role while assisting Jennifer Lopez with mending her relationship with Ben.

The source continued: ‘Especially considering Jen felt pitted against JLo at times during their own marriage. Jen is too nice and truly wanted to help, so she tried.’

Garner and Affleck have children named Violet (age 18), a 15-year-old, Fin who was previously known as Seraphina, and a 12-year-old named Samuel.

As a proud parent, I’m fortunate to be the mom of 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, who were born during my union with Marc Anthony that spanned from 2004 to 2014.

In 2021, news outlets buzzed as Lopez and Affleck reignited their relationship, almost seventeen years since they cancelled their initial engagement and delayed their planned September 2003 wedding.

Back in April 2021, it was rumored that the singer and the award-winning filmmaker were renewing their connection following Jennifer Lopez’s split with ex-MLB player Alex Rodriguez.

In July of last year, the pair publicly acknowledged their relationship on Instagram, and they walked the red carpet together for the first time since then at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. On July 16, 2022, they got married at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas.

At present, they are preparing for the launch of their second joint movie, titled “Kiss of the Spider Woman”. This movie is set to make its debut at the 41st edition of the Sundance Film Festival, which will take place in the early months of next year.
