Ben Affleck embarrassed, revealed the reason for leaving Jennifer Lopez, no scanda.l, conflict

Actor Ben Affleck says people speculated about serious problems that led to his and Jennifer Lopez's divorc.e last year, but the real reason was very mundane.

In an interview with GG magazine published on March 25, Ben Affleck responded to rumors that his marriage with J.Lo fell apart because the singer was too public about their private life in the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which will be released in early 2024. Ben affirmed that J.Lo's openness in contrast to his private personality was not the cause of the breakup.

"There are people who handle the life of fame better than me, and Jennifer Lopez is one of them," Ben explains. "My personality is a little more reserved and private than hers. But like any relationship, you don't always have the same outlook and attitude as the other person. I was like, 'That's cool! How do you juggle that?'"

The Batman actor said he participated in J.Lo's documentary because he loved and supported her. Ben believed in his wife because he felt she was amazing and wanted everyone to know that. According to Ben, before entering a relationship with J.Lo, he knew the differences in their personalities. "I said in the documentary: You don't marry a captain and say, 'Man, I don't like water,'" Ben shared. "You can't watch that documentary and say you understand our problems."

The actor stressed that there was no specific moment that ended their marriage, nor was there any scanda.l, conflict or drama. "I completely respect her. I guess people tend to look at breakups and want to identify the root cause. But the truth is much more normal than what people think," he said.

Ben hinted that sometimes couples break up because they're trying to figure out their lives and relationships, not because one or the other did something wrong or there's some major problem.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's marriage broke down last April after nearly two years of marriage. In May, Ben moved out and rented a house. Three months later, J.Lo filed for divorc.e in Los Angeles court. Their divorc.e was amicable and finalized in February this year.

In the interview, Ben also mentioned his first wife, actress Jennifer Garner. The actor confided: "I am really lucky to have a companion and partner like Jennifer Garner - the mother of my children. She is wonderful and we are really compatible in raising our children together."

Jennifer Lopez first shared about her breakup in Interview magazine in October 2024. She admitted that the breakup "almost kille.d me forever", but that once she got over it, she had no regrets because the experience was necessary. The singer, born in 1969, also said she was "excited" to be single again.

Ben Affleck, whose real name is Benzamin Géza Affleck-Boldt, was born on August 15, 1972, in California and grew up in Massachusetts. His father was a factory worker and his mother was a teacher, but they divorced when Affleck was 11. He and his younger brother Casey, who later became a talented actor, lived with their mother and her step-husband. Ben knew he wanted to be an actor after a brief experience filming a Burger King commercial at the ag.e of 10.

Encouraged by a teacher, the two saved up and moved to New York in their twenties. While studying film and screenwriting, they auditioned and worked as ushers at movie theaters. After appearing in television series, Ben made his film debut in Richard Linklater's Dazed And Confused (1993).

In addition to acting, Affleck is involved in political activities, with a children's non-profit organization called AT, which helps children with ataxia telangiectasia. He and his childhood friend Matt Damon founded a production company called LivePlanet, which produces television movies and shows.
