Ben Affleck Breaks Silence on J.Lo Divorce: “No Scandal, Just Two People Figuring Things Out”

Ben Affleck is setting the record straight on his split from Jennifer Lopez, insisting that there was no scandal, no drama, and no hidden soap opera behind their divorce. In a candid new interview with GQ, Affleck opened up about their breakup for the first time, explaining that it was simply a case of two people navigating their lives and relationships—something he admits may have required couples therapy.

The actor revealed that he initially chose to keep quiet about their separation because he felt embarrassed and vulnerable, but now he wants to clear up any misconceptions.

Affleck also addressed speculation surrounding their 2024 documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” in which fans noticed he appeared miserable. He clarified that his involvement in the project was purely to support Jennifer and that the documentary itself had nothing to do with their breakup.

He praised Lopez’s ability to handle public scrutiny, acknowledging that she was much better at dealing with the constant media attention than he was. Despite their split, Affleck emphasized that he still has great respect for his ex-wife.

Their divorce was finalized last month, and according to TMZ, the couple did not have a prenup when they married in 2022. It took five months to reach a financial settlement, including an agreement on the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they purchased together.

While their marriage has ended, Affleck made it clear that their story is not one of betrayal or bitterness—just two people moving forward in their own ways.
