Recently, Ben Affleck took an unexpected jab regarding his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez. While on the promotional rounds for his new film Unstoppable, Ben AFFLECK said, ‘She was amazing,’ referring to the actress and turning to Jennifer. This was surprising as they were in the process of a divorce.
Jennifer filed for divorce in August after a two-year marriage. Though they have parted ways, the fact that she made Ben respect her work is a clear indication that her ex-husband still has respect for her. He did speak about her while also commending her performance in the film.
The audience had mixed feelings. A few thought it was sweet of Ben to speak highly of Jennifer despite their separation. However, some questioned what this indicated about their relationship.
The plot of Unstoppable revolves around a wrestler with one leg who rises to become a champion. Jennifer acts as the wrestler’s mother. Ben, who executive produced the picture, loved the film and wanted to appreciate Jennifer’s effort.
This elicited opinions about how relationships are affected especially for couples in the public light where they have to cross so many thin lines of work and personal lives. To this, add the fact that While everyone knows Bens and Jennifer’s divorce story is still onvolution, Ben’s statement is allied to that narrative.
