Jennifer Lopez’s marriage to Ben Affleck has failed. At the Toronto Film Festival, she is presenting her new film – which was produced by Affleck.
It is the story of a man who achieved success against all odds. The American Anthony Robles was born with only one leg and still had a successful career as a wrestler. His life has now been made into a film called “Unstoppable”. Unstoppable – that also applies to Jennifer Lopez. She plays Anthony Robles’ mother in the film and made a sensational appearance at the premiere in Toronto. Despite her ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck, she posed smiling for the photographers and took selfies with her fans. Dive in? Not with La Lopez, the show must go on – and how. The 55-year-old wore a sparkling dress by designer Tamara Ralph that was reminiscent of a disco ball and was only held together at the sides by a few bows.
Ben Affleck raved about working with Jennifer Lopez
Affleck, who produced the film with his company Artists Equity, was absent from the premiere. Instead, actor Matt Damon was there. Affleck has been close friends with him for decades. The men founded the production company together in 2022. Last year, during an appearance on the US show “CBS Sunday Mornings”, Affleck raved about working with Jennifer Lopez: “What fun, what a joy … to work with your wife, with your best friend.”
Affleck and Lopez met in late 2001 while filming the movie “Gigli.” The film was a huge flop and was panned by critics. Affleck and Lopez both received a Golden Raspberry, a derisory award for poor acting performances. In 2002 they appeared together again in front of the camera, but the romance “Jersey Girl” also became box office poison. When the film was released two years later, Affleck and Lopez had already separated. This is also the case with their third film collaboration.

Film love, separation, wedding altar, marital crisis, divorce – the story of their love
In August, on the couple’s second wedding anniversary, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce. Before that, there had been months of speculation about a marital crisis because the couple had stopped appearing together in public. Ben Affleck also apparently did not want to meet his still-wife at the Toronto Film Festival. That will be difficult in the coming months. The film “Unstoppable” is said to have a good chance of winning one or two awards. So sooner or later, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will probably run into each other on the red carpet.
