Ben Affleck Remains Stoic Following Jennifer Lopez’s Candid Comments About Their Divorce
Ben Affleck appeared unfazed as he stepped out in Los Angeles this week, marking his first public appearance since his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez made headlines with her candid remarks about their split. The 52-year-old actor showed no visible emotion after Lopez described their decision to part ways as “difficult.”
Lopez’s recent comments and bold photoshoot drew attention, making Affleck’s quiet demeanor all the more noticeable. Dressed casually in a grey t-shirt and blue jeans, the actor was seen with his production team, scouting locations for his upcoming project, as per reports Daily Mail.
When asked about the separation, Lopez had openly stated that it was “f***ing hard.” In her conversation with Nikki Glaser, the singer avoided mentioning Affleck by name but expressed how her life had felt like it was falling apart this year. The Atlas star admitted that after the breakup, she felt the need to spend time alone, emphasizing a journey toward self-completion.
“You have to be complete if you want something that’s more complete,” the Ain’t Your Mama singer shared. She added that her happiness wasn’t dependent on another person, and she was focused on finding joy from within.
Affleck and Lopez were married for two years before they decided to separate in April. Lopez officially filed for divorce on August 20, which, coincidentally, was their wedding anniversary. The timeline of their separation and Lopez’s revelations have fueled public interest, but Affleck remains tight-lipped and focused on his work, maintaining a professional front as he moves forward with his new film project.
Despite the personal turmoil, Affleck’s stoic appearance in LA suggests that he is determined to keep his private life separate from his professional endeavors, even as his high-profile divorce continues to make headlines.
