⁠The Gone Girl actor went on to share his praise for Lopez, who he split from in August 2024 after they married two years earlier. ⁠

He said: “Listen, I don’t read the stuff online much, and sometimes I get the sense that people perpetuate this idea of … they wanna find something negative to talk about. For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.

“I love her kids. They are wonderful,” he said. “She is enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.”

“I’m thrilled that the kids are here with me,” Affleck continued. “That’s the kind of thing where the relationship that you have with children like that is a joy in my life. Those kids are amazing and I’m glad that this is a movie they want to come to.”⁠

⁠Affleck’s comments come after he previously spoke about his split with Lopez in an interview with GQ, in which he insisted there was ‘no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue’.

“It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do,” he said, adding: “For one thing, you start going, ‘Okay, clearly this person has got these issues. Clearly they have these issues’, and the reason I don’t want to share that, is just sort of embarrassing. It feels vulnerable.”

Ben Affleck ‘lucky’ to have ex-wife Jennifer Garner as he details ’embarrassing’ Jennifer Lopez divorce

Affleck and Garner welcomed three children together before their split in 2018

Ben Affleck has spoken about how grateful he is for his ex-wife Jennifer Garner as he broke his silence for the first time on his most recent split from Jennifer Lopez.

The Gone Girl star opened up about his relationships in a new interview with GQ, which comes as he prepares to star in the sequel to his 2016 movie, The Accountant.

Arriving two months after Affleck finalized his divorce with Lopez, the interview saw the actor open up about his recent split and stress that Lopez is ‘somebody [he has] a lot of respect for’.

“Yeah, there’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,” he said of the divorce. “The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’, well, there is no: ‘This is what happened’. It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”

He added: “For one thing, you start going, ‘Okay, clearly this person has got these issues. Clearly they have these issues’, and the reason I don’t want to share that, is just sort of embarrassing. It feels vulnerable.”

Amid the split with Lopez, Affleck has continued to co-parent the three children he shares with his former wife, Garner, who he was married to from 2005-2018.

Photos of the pair show them still spending time together, and Affleck acknowledged that while every detail of his day-to-day life might be of interest to his fans, the most important thing to him is that he and his family know the truth of the situation.

“Look, I know what’s going on in my life,” he told GQ. “And also, really more importantly, my kids know. We used to have a thing, my ex-wife and I, when they would see something (on a magazine) on a supermarket stand, we would say, well, ‘You know this isn’t always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant.”

Affleck continued: “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well. It’s more of a headache than anything else and there certainly are worse things.”

In spite of the headlines surrounding Affleck’s life and relationships, the actor insisted that his life is ‘actually pretty drama-free’.

He continued: “I’m sure in your mind you’re thinking, Oh, well, you just got divorced. That’s not drama-free. And I understand that instinct, but all of this is pretty adult, and for all the sensational stuff that gets written, if somebody sat down and talked to me about it, and I said, ‘Well, this is really the experience,’ their eyes would glaze over with boredom.”

Ben Affleck visited by ex-wife Jennifer Garner amid Jennifer Lopez divorce rumors

Ben Affleck was visited by his ex as fans continue to speculate about a potential split from wife Jennifer Lopez

Admittedly, a person not being with their partner every second of the day isn’t great evidence for a split.

But fans have continued to question whether actor Ben Affleck is still with his wife, singer Jennifer Lopez.

The rumors have essentially been sparked by the fact the pair – who first dated in the early noughties and split in 2004, before rekindling in 2021 and marrying in 2022 – haven’t been together at all recently, well, at least publicly.

The celebrity couple were last photographed together in public on 30 March, when they were seen holding hands in New York City, but speculation has spiraled since then as they’ve kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

Rumors were only fueled further on 15 May when an insider told In Touch that the relationship was actually ‘over’.

“They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work,” the source claimed.
