Jennifer Lopez Laughs Off Question About Ex-Boyfriend Ben Affleck

While promoting her latest film Kiss of the Spider Woman on the “Today” show, Jennifer Lopez responded awkwardly to a question regarding her relationship with Ben Affleck. The interviewer mentioned her divorce from Affleck, which had recently been finalized, prompting Lopez to let out an amused, uncomfortable laugh.

Lopez, 56, then responded with humor, jokingly addressing the production team behind the camera, and turning to the audience she said, “There you go. Look at this guy!” referring to Melvin. Despite her lighthearted reaction, she acknowledged the complexity of her relationship with Affleck, emphasizing that life goes on.

In a sincere note, she shared that working on the musical was a source of comfort during a difficult personal time, helping her “survive” a challenging period in her life. When host Craig Melvin brought up the fact that Affleck was an executive producer on her film, Lopez reflected on his contribution, stating, “If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have been made, and I will always give him credit for that.” She added, “Things happen. You have to keep going.”

The two first met during filming in 2001, got engaged, but split in 2004. They reignited their romance in 2021, married in 2022, and filed for divorce in 2024. Despite their separation, Lopez has expressed that they remain amicable and committed to raising their children in a supportive environment. Lopez’s children include twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck’s children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—with Jennifer Garner.

Lopez also recently shared moments with Affleck’s children and maintains a friendly relationship, emphasizing the importance of her family’s harmony. Despite the ups and downs, Lopez remains graceful and positive about her personal journey and relationships.
