In his latest interview with Entertainment Tonight , Ben Affleck rarely mentioned his ex-wife – Jennifer Lopez , since the rumors of their breakup until their divorce. Before going their separate ways, this famous couple had a collaboration in the movie Unstoppable (to be released soon).

The 52-year-old actor joined the project as a producer while the 6X singer played an important role in the film. Together with Matt Damon – his close friend and long-time collaborator, Affleck gave many compliments to the cast: Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale…

He also mentioned his ex-wife: “Jennifer is really spectacular” and said that the cast is really passionate about the film. The Oscar- winning star also shared that the new film is another work that makes him and his colleagues really proud. “We trusted the right people and Unstoppable is another example of that,” the 7X artist added.

Currently, both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are not attending promotional events for the film Unstoppable . In early September, when the film was introduced at the Toronto International Film Festival (Canada), Affleck did not attend the event while J.Lo appeared with producer Matt Damon and the film crew. Notably, when they were still together, Affleck shared that he really enjoyed working with J.Lo. “It’s fun, it’s fun to do something with her, go to work with my wife, go to work with my best friend, she’s so wonderful,” the actor shared with CBS Sunday Mornings in March 2023.

The Bennifers are in the process of getting a divorce. They have maintained a good relationship for the sake of their children and have not discussed the breakdown of their marriage. PageSix sources revealed that their large family is their top priority and the couple has resolved financial issues amicably.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s children have a good relationship, and vice versa. In September, the couple were seen happily together at a gathering with the children. Last weekend, J.Lo’s sister Lynda Lopez visited Violet (Ben Affleck’s stepdaughter) at Yale University (Connecticut, USA).

Now, both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are settling into their new lives without each other. In an interview last month, the 55-year-old singer admitted that her new journey has been lonely, strange, scary, sad and hopeless, but she emphasized that being in a relationship does not define her. “When you’re immersed in those emotions and you think: This is not going to kill me. It’s like: Actually, I have the ability to find joy and happiness on my own,” she confided.
