A close friend of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez shares his thoughts about the recent headline-grabbing divorce rumors.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back star Jason Mewes recently chatted about “Bennifer” and he thinks the gossip is true. When asked if he believes Affleck and Lopez would ever split, he told TMZ, “I would be shocked [if they do].”
Mewes was one of the guests at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s lavish Georgia wedding less than two years ago. He admitted to being frustrated over others immediately making assumptions about the famous couple’s marriage.
While discussing Affleck’s recent move to a $100,000-a-month Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood rental, Mewes believes his Dogma co-star craves peace and quiet to focus on his new film. However, he did note that his theory is just thought and he doesn’t know anything about the situation.
He also said he hasn’t been in close contact with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez since their 2022 wedding. His conversation with TMZ comes just after two sources stated that the couple’s marriage is “not in the best place at the moment.”
However, one of the sources said it’s “too soon” to say what the future holds for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. “I don’t know if they will split, or if this is something they will work through.”
The music source added, “There have always been clashes in their styles and how they handle issues, but nothing has stopped their love over the years.”
Jennifer Lopez Called Out a Reporter After Being Asked About Her Alleged Struggles With Ben Affleck
The public’s curiosity about the couple’s situation recently caused Lopez to lash out at a reporter. When asked about the speculation, Lopez went off on the reporter, telling them they should “know better than that.”
Lopez’s Atlas co-star Simu Liu also defended her by declaring, “OK, we’re not doing that. Thank you so much guys, really appreciate it. C’mon. Don’t come in here with that energy, please.”
He then praised Lopez for her role in the film. “The reason why I’m here and the reason why Sterling was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares.”
“Jen cares about things like representation and diversity. She’s a boss and she’s an incredible creative and an icon and that’s what I think we should celebrate her for today.”
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have not publicly revealed if the rumors about their marriage woes are true.
