Ben Affleck raves two months after the divorce from Jennifer Lopez

After two and a half years of marriage, it was official in February 2025: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were divorced. At the Los-Angeles premiere of his new film “The Accountant 2”, Affleck showed last Wednesday that a divorce does not have to mean the end of a respectful relationship. The 52-year-old actor took the opportunity to rave about his ex-wife in the highest tones, with whom he was married from July 2022 to February 2025.

“Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great with my children and has a great relationship with them,” said Affleck. “I love their children. They are wonderful. She is an enormously important, great person with a lot of integrity that I admire and whom I am grateful.”

Particularly noteworthy: Not only his own three children Violet, 19 years old, Seraphina, 16 years old and son Samuel, 13 years old, who came from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, but also Lopez ’17-year-old twins Max and Emme. The Hollywood star was visibly touched by this support. “It’s a great evening. The children are here, Jens children are here. I am very, very excited,” said Affleck. “I am proud of the film, I love the film and I love it when all the children are there. It’s really nice, it’s exciting.” Relationships with children, as he cared for them, are “the joy of my life,” he added. “These children are incredible and I am glad that this is a film you want to come to.”

The former dream couple of the early 2000s found each other again in 2021 after almost 17 years. In July 2022, they initially said yes in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas. A month later, on August 20, 2022, the big wedding celebration followed with family and friends in Georgia. Lopez submitted the divorce in the summer of 2024, exactly two years after the wedding celebration in Georgia. As the separation date, she stated April 26, 2024, as the reason was called “insurmountable differences”.

In conversation with “GQ”, Affleck had already emphasized how unspectacular, drama-free and everyday relationship with the singer and actress was in truth. The star of films such as “Argo” or “Gone Girl – The Perfect Sacrifice” said about his separation and divorce: “There was no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue. In truth you can’t really summarize it. It is a story of two people who have tried to get their life and relationship under one roof, as we all normally do. “

“The Accountant 2”, in which Affleck plays the leading role, comes to German cinemas on April 24th. The film is the continuation of the 2016 thriller, in which he played a mathematician with autistic trains who works as an accountant for dangerous criminal organizations.
