What did Ben Affleck say about Jennifer Lopez’s divorce?

To begin with, the actor who plays Batman told GQ that he has only respect for the famous pop star. Contrary to rumors, Affleck explained that there wasn’t one major incident that caused their divorce. Dispelling fans’ assumptions about their relationship, Affleck commented, “It seems people often try to pinpoint reasons for breakups or find a single cause. But honestly, as I mentioned earlier, the reality is usually more ordinary than what most would find interesting.

Afterwards, the actor clarified matters by explaining, “There’s no drama, no daytime soap opera, no secrets. In reality, when you ask someone, ‘What happened?’ there isn’t always a clear-cut answer like, ‘This is what happened.’ Instead, it’s about people navigating their lives and relationships much like we all do in everyday life. As I grow older, I believe this holds true for most people – the focus isn’t on specific actions taken by someone or a major event but rather our collective journey to understand ourselves and each other.

He continued by saying, “It seems more like a conversation between a couple seeking therapy, and after some time, you might find yourself losing interest in someone else’s private matters. To be honest, I prefer not to disclose because it makes me feel exposed or vulnerable.

It was widely believed by fans that his hesitation to feature in Lopez’s 2024 documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” could indicate problems in their relationship. Affleck clarified this point, stating, “I tend to be more reserved and private compared to her.” However, he emphasized that it did not lead to any significant rift between them.
