Ben Affleck Finally Explained Why He and Jennifer Lopez Broke Up For Good
Last August, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck two years after the pair married. Since then, they have both been fairly private about their reasons for going their separate ways. Affleck, however, has just opened up about the breakdown of their marriage and the speculation that followed. Speaking to British GQ, the actor and producer aimed to dispel the idea that their breakup was the result of one specific thing. "There's a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something," he said. "But honestly, [...] the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting." He went on: "There's no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue. There is no, 'This is what happened.'" Instead, the story of their relationship breakdown is more complicated. "It's just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do," he went on. "And as you get older, this is true for me, I assume it's true for most people, there is no 'So-and-so did this' or 'This was the big event.'" If he were to explain the ins and outs of their breakup, he added, it would sound "more like a couple's therapy session." He added, "You would tune out of someone else's couple's therapy after a while. For one thing, you start going, 'Okay, clearly this person has got these issues. Clearly they have these issues.' And the reason I don't want to share that is just sort of embarrassing. It feels vulnerable." Earlier in the interview, Affleck had opened up about the process of appearing in The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Lopez's documentary that followed the making of her musical film This Is Me... Now. Although her film was inspired by her relationship with Affleck, Affleck only made a brief, unrelated cameo in the movie. As Affleck explained, he decided to appear in Lopez's documentary even though it was out of his normal comfort zone. "My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers," he said. "As happens in relationships, you don't always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, 'Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?'" Affleck wanted to show his support for Lopez by appearing in the film. "I love and support this person. I believe in them. They're great. I want people to see that," he said. "And I think the thing that I said in that documentary or the piece that they used was where I said, You don't marry a ship captain and then say, 'Well, I don't like going out in the water.' You've got to own what you knew going into any relationship." Affleck then responded to the common misconception that their different approaches to celebrity, as displayed in the documentary, was the root cause of their breakup. "I think it's important to say that wasn't the cause of some major fracture," he said. "It's not like you can watch that documentary and go, 'Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'" In another section of the interview, Affleck described his life, including his divorce, as "drama-free." 'I'm sure in your mind you're thinking, 'Oh, well, you just got divorced. That's not drama-free,'" he said to the interviewer. "And I understand that instinct, but all of this is pretty adult, and for all the sensational stuff that gets written, if somebody sat down and talked to me about it, and I said, 'Well, this is really the experience,' their eyes would glaze over with boredom.' Lopez and Affleck's divorce was finalized earlier this year in January. According to reports, Affleck is "casually dating" following the split. Meanwhile, Lopez has spoken out about finding her sense of self as a single woman. "Being in a relationship doesn't define me," Lopez said to Nikki Glaser for Interview Magazine. "I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself." Read the original article on InStyle

Bennifer no more! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially single, weeks after settling divorce
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially back on the market, six weeks after they finalized their divorce. The Los Angeles County Superior Court declared the couple's marriage dissolved and the two legally single as of Feb. 21, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The couple had ironed out many of the substantial issues in January, including that neither are paying the other spousal support.

They were engaged by November of that year. However, the wedding was postponed and then, in January 2004, they split. However, after marrying and divorcing others, the pair coupled up again in 2021, renewing their fans' faith in love. They married in July 2022, but ended their relationship again just two years later. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024 and asked that Affleck be dropped from her name. The two don't share any children, although they each have kids of their own, including two teenagers, twins Emme and Max, for her from Lopez's marriage to Marc Anthony, and three for him. Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner share Violet, 19; Seraphina, 16; and Samuel, 12. Lopez revealed in October how she felt amid the high-profile breakup, especially after Affleck had influenced her album, This Is Me ... Now, which didn't do as well as she'd hoped, and its accompanying film, just months before it."I did all the work and look at where I am, and then it was like my whole f---ing world exploded," she told Interview Magazine. She was candid about wanting to be content without anyone else. "And yeah, there's times when I thought I figured it out, and then life goes, 'Let's send you another thing and see if you fall for it. Let's see if you really have learned that lesson,'" Lopez said. "And I hadn't. I understand that now in a much deeper way, which doesn't mean that I won't make mistakes in the future, but again, when your whole house blows up, you're standing there in the rubble going, 'How do I not ever let that happen again?' And then you start examining it little by little saying, 'Okay, I did this, this was my part in it, this was what I should have seen early on, this is what I didn't look at.' Those things are what really are the lessons." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
