Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez they may have split six months ago, but the ‘Gone Girl’ star feels he can’t escape this particular conversation. The couple split in August, after months of speculation that the ‘Bennifers’ were getting a divorce. Although the couple tried to get back together, the two eventually failed.

The 55-year-old Lopez, in a recent interview with “Interview” magazineshe admitted that this breakup “took an emotional toll” on her, which she described as “painful” and “terrifying.” However, 52-year-old Affleck was reportedly unaware that his ex-wife would be talking about their split.

“She didn’t warn him that she was going to talk about their relationship, but she assumed it would eventually happen. It is as much a part of his life as anything else. He’s never going to get away from it.”said a person from the actor’s environment, according to the “Daily Mail”.

And he added: “People deal with loss and separation in their own way and they both do. Ben wants to keep certain things to himself, especially important details about their relationship.”he emphasizes.

It’s worth noting that Lopez didn’t name Affleck in her interview, but she appeared to be candid. She said that she is not currently looking for a replacement, while hinting that her ex did not “embrace” or love her flaws.

“Someone who truly loves you will help you heal these parts of yourself”he explained. “That’s what I learned about love, that it’s a safe thing. You make me feel safe and when I fall short of glory, you understand me and help me grow to be better, because you have your limits and I have mine.”

Lopez and Affleck were engaged in the early 2000s before splitting, only to reunite – and later marry – in July 2022, before holding another ceremony a month later.

Speaking in her documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Lopez said: “Ben and I broke up three days before our wedding and collapsed under the pressure of the publicity.’

During their reconciliation, the two-time Oscar-winning actor admitted that he wasn’t at all interested in joining his wife’s social media accounts. Last May, almost all the international media spoke of serious problems in the couple’s relationship and in August it became known that the two were getting a divorce.
