Ben Affleck opens up about divorce with Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck has opened up about his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, praising his ex-wife for her ability to handle the spotlight with ease.

In an interview, Affleck reflected on the differences in personality between him and Lopez, saying that she has ‘handled celebrity status more adeptly and more adroitly’ than he has. “My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you don’t always have the same attitude towards these things,” he said.

Affleck also addressed the 2024 documentary Lopez and he made about their marriage, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Affleck said he participated in the documentary to provide an honest examination of their relationship. He also emphasised that their 2024 documentary, which chronicled their relationship, did not contribute to their breakup. Many fans speculated that Affleck appeared unhappy in the film, but he clarified that he participated to support Lopez.

The divorce of Affleck and Lopez was finalised in January after the latter filed for it in August 2024.
