Ben Affleck reveals the one thing Jennifer Lopez can’t offer him as he fuels split rumours
Ben Affleck has further fuelled reports of his alleged marriage breakdown after revealing the one thing J.Lo can’t offer him.
Ben Affleck has revealed the one thing Jennifer Lopez can’t offer him amid reports they’re heading for a split - a quiet life.
During an appearance on the premiere episode of the fourth season of Kevin Hart’s Peacock show Hart to Heart, the Academy Award-winning actor opened up about having to adjust to wife Jennifer Lopez’s level of fame, and admitted to not liking the attention.
“We went somewhere with [Jennifer] — I can’t remember because she’s so famous, and she creates this — people love her, and she really represents something important to people,” Affleck said about Lopez, who is currently travelling solo in Italy amid ongoing split rumours. “[To me,] people are like, ‘Hey, I like your movie,’ and then they’re like ‘Ah! J-Lo!’ It’s amazing, you know what I mean?”
Recalling a situation in which he, Lopez and their blended family were walking through Times Square in New York City, Affleck said the fan attention was “f**ing bananas.”
“We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, ‘F**k it, babe, we’re going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.’ She was like, ‘Alright,’ she didn’t say s**t,” he said. “We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s**t was like f***ing bananas.”
During the conversation, Affleck also addressed his not-so-subtle facial expressions that often seem to highlight most paparazzi shots of him.
“I don’t like a lot of attention,” he said. “This is why people see me and they’re like, ‘Why is this dude always mad?’ Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, ‘OK, here we go.’”
“Because I’m with my kids, and they’re taking my picture,” he added. “You can take my picture when I’m at a club, at a premiere, whatever … I don’t give a f**k But when I’m with my children, that’s a different thing.” “You have resting b***h face,” Hart said, to which Affleck clarified: “I have resting hard face.”
Lopez and Affleck have reportedly been quietly trying to sell their $60.8 million Beverly Hills estate while dealing with the media frenzy around their relationship.
The pair have been living separately, a source previously confirmed to Fox News.
“At first, it was a whirlwind of love and now that real life is setting in, it’s hard,” a source said in May. “They are both involved in each other’s kids’ lives and consider themselves one big family unit, so it’s been hard for everyone.”
It comes after Lopez appeared to brush off divorce rumours while giving her husband a special US Father’s Day shout-out.
“Our hero,” Lopez wrote on her Instagram story on Sunday with a white heart emoji. “Happy Father’s Day.”
Along with the sweet message, she attached a throwback photo of the Argo star sporting a black leather jacket.
