Ben Affleck Opens Up About Divorce from Jennifer Lopez
Alright, let's talk about Ben Affleck finally breaking his silence on his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The Hollywood power couple, often called "Bennifer," had fans rooting for their love story, but after two years of marriage, it has officially come to an end. Affleck, in a candid interview with GQ, shared his thoughts on the breakup, and surprisingly, there was no drama, no scandal, just the reality of two people trying to navigate life together.
Ben, now 52, made it clear that there wasn't a single, defining moment that led to their split. "There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue," he stated. Instead, he described their breakup as something that simply unfolded over time, much like any other relationship. He dismissed the idea that their different approaches to fame were the cause, despite Lopez being more open with the public while he prefers privacy.
Reflecting on their relationship, Affleck acknowledged that relationships are complex, and trying to pinpoint a singular cause is often misleading. He compared it to a couple’s therapy session—something deeply personal and not particularly exciting for outsiders. He admitted that discussing the breakup openly felt vulnerable and even a little embarrassing, which is why he chose to keep certain aspects private.

Affleck also spoke about his involvement in Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told , which chronicled their relationship and coincided with her album This Is Me… Now . He expressed reservations about publicizing their love story but emphasized that it wasn’t a factor in their split. "You don’t marry a ship captain and then say, ‘I don’t like going out in the water,’" he explained, highlighting that he always understood the level of attention that came with being with Lopez.
Their love story dates back to the early 2000s when they met on the set of Gigli and got engaged in 2002. However, their first attempt at marriage was called off in 2003 due to overwhelming media pressure. They both moved on, married other people, and started families, only to reunite nearly two decades later. Fans were ecstatic when they tied the knot in 2022, but by 2024, things had taken a different turn. Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary, and it was finalized in early 2025.
Despite the breakup, there’s no animosity between them. Affleck praised Lopez’s talent and even called her performance in Unstoppable "spectacular." He also acknowledged how well she handles fame compared to him. However, he maintained that their split wasn’t the result of any major fallout but rather the natural progression of two people evolving in different directions.
Meanwhile, Lopez has also spoken about the emotional toll of the breakup. In an interview, she described the experience as if her "whole world exploded" but shared that she has learned valuable lessons. She now focuses on finding happiness within herself rather than seeking it from a relationship.
As for Affleck, he continues to focus on his career and family. He remains a devoted father and shares a strong co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. He admitted that fame often feels absurd, with even mundane aspects of his life making headlines, but he has learned to tune it out and focus on what truly matters.
So, there you have it—no drama, no wild revelations, just two people navigating the complexities of love, fame, and personal growth. Bennifer 2.0 may be over, but both Affleck and Lopez are moving forward in their own ways.
