Ben Affleck recently opened up about his experience working on a new film alongside co-star Jon Bernthal, discussing how the people you love the most can sometimes drive you crazy. In the sequel, the two actors play brothers, adding an extra layer of complexity to their on-screen dynamic.
Rumors have been circulating about Jennifer Lopez’s diva behavior causing strain within her marriage to Affleck. These rumors intensified when the couple collaborated on a documentary together titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” In the film, Affleck is visibly strained as he watches Lopez struggle with the pressures of producing their movie “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story.”
During one particular scene, Lopez breaks down over her workload, prompting Affleck to repeatedly urge her to calm down and get comfortable with the filmmaking process. Despite his efforts, Lopez is unable to contain her emotions, leading to tears and a feeling of guilt for missing an event they were supposed to attend together.
Affleck also addressed the perception that he is always grumpy, a reputation fueled by paparazzi photos capturing him looking downbeat in public. He clarified that he is actually a happy person, dispelling any misconceptions about his demeanor.
Affleck’s comments about Lopez come on the heels of him praising his ex-wife as “spectacular” and expressing his admiration for her integrity and importance in his life. Despite their past relationship, Affleck is encouraged by friends, including Matt Damon’s wife Luciana Barroso, to move on from Lopez and Jennifer Garner and explore dating again.
Sources reveal that Affleck has been on a couple of low-key dates but has yet to find a meaningful connection. However, Luciana has lined up potential friends for him to meet, eager to see if there is a spark. Affleck’s recovery from alcoholism is a priority, with any potential love interests needing to be sober to support his journey to sobriety.
As Affleck focuses on his work and recovery, he remains open to the idea of dating someone within the recovery community who can understand and support his journey. With his past struggles with alcoholism contributing to the breakdown of his marriage, Affleck is taking the necessary steps to prioritize his health and well-being in any future relationships.
