Ben Affleck Recently Reflected on His Divorce From Jennifer Lopez
Although Jennifer Lopez has been quiet about the divorce, Ben Affleck recently discussed it during an interview with GQ.
While talking about the breakup, Affleck praised Lopez for handling her celebrity status better than he has.
“My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers,” he explained. “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? Because… I love and support this person. I believe in them. They’re great. I want people to see that.”
Affleck then said, “There’s a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something,” Affleck said. “But honestly… The truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting.”
