Ben Affleck drops first major hint about reason for high-profile split from Jennifer Lopez after Hollywood stars finalise their divorce
Ben Affleck may have just dropped a major hint about the reason for his split from Jennifer Lopez after the Hollywood stars settled their divorce. Affleck, 52, spoke to MNSBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday alongside his The Accountant 2 co-star Jon Bernthal about the sequel to the 2016 film. It comes after the Good Will Hunting star and Lopez's divorce was settled in the Los Angeles Superior Court on January 6, months after she filed for the separation last August, marking the end of their two-year marriage. Speaking to MNSBC, Affleck said, "the people you love the most drive you the most crazy sometimes." Although his remark appeared telling given the timing, he was specifically referring to his The Accountant 2 character and his dynamic with his brother Braxon (Bernthal) in the action thriller. Affleck, who portrays money laundering accountant Christian Wolff, said Wolff and Braxton's shared humour is "rooted in that relationship." The actor also addressed photographs that frequently capture him looking glum in public and assured fans he is "happy". In January, a photo of Affleck appearing visibly frustrated as he spoke to police outside his home in Brentwood, California, made global headlines. While it's unclear what the actor had said to police, a source in January told Page Six law enforcement was present because neighbours had private security roaming the area, keeping residents from going into their homes. The source said Affleck was 'talking to the police about that situation,' and could eventually go to his home. His MNSBC interview comes a week after he said was Lopez "spectacular" and "an enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to" while speaking to Entertainment Tonight. Divorce documents for Affleck and Lopez, nicknamed Bennifer by the media, showed the pair settled their divorce through mediation. Neither party had to pay the other alimony. Lopez removed Affleck from her legal name once the divorce when their divorce was finalised in February. The couple married in Las Vegas in 2022 and held a wedding celebration for family and friends the following month, following a long history. Their initial wedding was postponed in 2003 "due to the excessive media attention" and they split in 2004. Speculation of a Bennifer reunion reached fever pitch in 2021 when the pair were photographed together and later confirmed they had relinked their love that year, 20 years after Affleck first proposed to her. Affleck and Lopez met on the set of their romantic comedy Gigli in 2001, and he was featured in her Jenny From The Block music video in 2002.
