Jennifer Lopez is addressing resurfaced interview clips and speculation about her relationship with Ben Affleck following their recent split. A 2014 interview with radio host Big Boy has reemerged online, putting Lopez in a tricky spot as she reflects on her past relationships with Affleck and Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs.
In the playful interview, Big Boy posed a hypothetical scenario: “You’re on a raft in the middle of the ocean, and you see two people floating. You can only pull up one because that’s how much room you have on the raft. You see Ben Affleck and Diddy.” At the time, Lopez was separated from both men and jokingly responded, “I’d let both those m*****s drown!”
Despite the lighthearted comment, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their relationship in 2021, leading to their highly publicized wedding in 2022. The couple tied the knot in a lavish three-day celebration at Affleck’s estate in Riceboro, Georgia, marking a full-circle moment for their long, on-and-off relationship, reports the Mirror US.
However, just two years after their wedding, Lopez reportedly filed for divorce last month, making headlines as one of the most surprising and heartbreaking splits of the year. Despite the resurfaced interview adding fuel to the media buzz, Lopez has yet to publicly address the details of their separation.
As rumors swirl, fans are left to speculate on the couple’s journey, but for now, Lopez seems focused on moving forward from the past, even as old memories resurface.
