Ben Affleck is speaking up on everything related to Jennifer Lopez, saying that their breakup was not surrounded by a major scandal or soap opera and that he still holds a lot of respect for his ex-wife.

Ben explained in an open GQ interview that they were just two people trying to work out their lives and relationships, most likely in need of couples therapy. However, he felt weak and ashamed about it, which is why he kept the specifics of their dramatic breakup a secret… until now.

In their 2024 documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” Ben clarified that his appearance of misery did not play a role in their split and that he only became involved to help Jennifer.
