Ben Affleck recently discussed his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez amid their separate lives—while he’s in Los Angeles this week, she’s enjoying herself in Capri.
The 51-year-old star notably didn’t address their marital status, likely because the interview was filmed months ago, evidenced by Ben sporting a full beard which he shaved off in March for his role in The Accountant 2.
During an episode of Kevin Hart’s show “Hart To Heart,” the Oscar-winning actor shed light on what it was like being married to someone as famous as the 54-year-old actress from Atlas.
Affleck recounted a moment when fans went wild upon seeing Lopez with him in Times Square, New York City, describing the scene as people going “bananas” over her presence. He shared how he initiated a stroll through the bustling area with the superstar on his arm, emphasizing Lopez’s immense popularity and her significance to people.
Reflecting on the chaotic experience, Ben recalled walking through Times Square with Lopez and their combined children, witnessing fans’ enthusiastic reactions. Despite his well-known resting grumpy face, Ben attributed his demeanor to shyness rather than displeasure with attention, humorously correcting Kevin Hart’s observation of a “resting b***h face.”
While the interview predated current divorce rumors, sources suggest Lopez feels she’s exhausted efforts to salvage their relationship due to Ben’s purported grumpiness and nеgativе demeanor, contrasting sharply with her upbeat nature.
Amidst the speculation, Lopez plans to resume her “This Is Me… Live” tour in 2025 after postponing the 2024 dates to focus on personal recovery. Despite challenges, friends affirm her resilience and determination to persevere through difficult times.
As the couple navigates their evolving relationship, characterized by cordial interactions while prioritizing their children, the public eye continues to scrutinize their journey amid ongoing speculation of an impending divorce announcement.
