Ben Affleck produced the sports drama “Unstoppable” himself, but because his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez is coming to the premiere, he prefers to stay away.
It would have been their first meeting since the announcement of their divorce. But Jennifer Lopez (55) and Ben Affleck (52) will not both appear at the premiere of their joint film “Unstoppable” on September 6 at the Toronto International Film Festival 2024. According to the report, the celebratory screening of the sports drama will take place without producer Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez plays the lead role in “Unstoppable”, co-produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s “Artists Equity” production company. The actress is reportedly planning to attend the film festival in person in September. Her estranged husband will not attend the event. It would have been their first official joint event after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20 after only two years of marriage. His friend and co-founder of the company Matt Damon (53) will be present.
In the drama “Unstoppable,” based on true events, Lopez plays the mother of wrestler Anthony Robles. The fighter won an NCAA national wrestling championship in 2011 despite being born with only one leg.
Going our separate ways
The professional paths of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will cross more often in the future: Affleck is also co-producing with “Artists Equity” their upcoming musical film adaptation “Kiss of the Spider Woman” (no release date yet).
How much does she have to pay him?
In the summer of 2022, Lopez and Affleck married around 20 years after they broke off their first engagement. As US media recently reported, Lopez filed for divorce on August 20. She gave April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. As recently reported, she did not request spousal support for either party in the divorce form. In addition, the sections on community and separate property indicate that the ex-partners did not have a prenuptial agreement. Accordingly, they must share assets earned during the two-year marriage.
