SHOCK: Ben Affleck gave a surprising three-word answer when asked about Jennifer Lopez amid the tense divorce. It’s worth noting that those three words are related to…see more

Ben Affleck had massive praise for estranged wife Jennifer Lopez’s performance in the forthcoming film Unstoppable, which he’s a producer on.

The Air actor-director, 52, who’s in the middle of a divorce with Lopez, 55, told Entertainment Tonight Sunday that ‘Jennifer is spectacular’ in the role of Judy Robles in the sports drama.

The two-time Oscar-winner appeared in the interview with friend and Artists Equity production partner Matt Damon, 54; and reigning Best Actor Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, 48, who stars in another movie the production company is releasing, titled Small Things Like These.

Unstoppable, directed by William Goldenberg, is set to arrive in theaters December 6, and features a cast including Lopez, Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.

In Unstoppable, Jerome plays the role of champion Arizona State University amateur wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg.

‘Unstoppable is a very different movie than this but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,’ said Affleck. ‘Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel, and Bobby Cannavale – all were really passionate about this film.’

Affleck said that Unstoppable ‘is another example of’ the kind of films that he and Damon are ‘really really proud of,’ and ‘believed in the right people’ in collaborating with.

Lopez, in a chat with Nikki Glaser published in Interview magazine October 9, said that she is handling the latest chapter in her life with the wisdom that comes with life experience.

‘I think my whole life I’ve just been trying to say I’m good enough, until where I am now, when I know,’ Lopez said. ‘I’m giving myself credit. I’m telling that little girl that grew up in the Bronx, “You’ve done really good for yourself.” I didn’t do that for so many years.

‘And now I think, with everything that’s happened in my life and in my relationships and even in my career, it’s like, give yourself a bit of comfort and love.’

Lopez talked about how she copes with adversity amid trying times.

‘We’ve been through a lot of things that nobody knows about, and you’ve persevered and you refuse to give up and to let it get you down,’ she said. ‘There’s something to be said for that because things can really change your life in a way that you do want to give up and say, “F*** this, this is too hard, I don’t want to do this anymore.”

‘But I’m not there. I refuse to not give myself everything that little girl deserves.’

Affleck in March of 2023 told CBS Sunday Morning that it was a pleasure to work closely with Lopez on the movie.

‘What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend,’ Affleck said at the time. ‘If you don’t like who you’re working with, and if you have difficulty or trouble at work, I think it’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people. 

‘And conversely, [if] you love the people at work, you probably have a pretty good life, you know?’

Affleck told the outlet of Lopez working on the motion picture, ‘Can’t make it look like she’s doing it as a favor to me, but actually she is.’ 

Affleck and Lopez past worked with one another during their romance two decades back, including the famously-panned comedy Gigli in 2003, and the 2004 Kevin Smith film Jersey Girl. 

Lopez’s August 20, 2024 divorce filing came after months of speculation swirling around the relationship between the A-list singer-actress and actor-director.

Lopez filed the documents on the two-year anniversary of their nuptials at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022.

Lopez and Affleck made headlines in 2021 when they rekindled their romance, nearly 17 years after calling off their original engagement and postponing their September 2003 wedding.

In April 2021, reports surfaced that the musician and the Oscar-winning director were reconnecting after Lopez’s breakup with former MLB star Alex Rodriguez.

The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram that July and made their red carpet return at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, and subsequently exchanged vows at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.

‘In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined,’ Lopez said in her newsletter On the JLo on July 17, 2022. ‘One we dreamed of long ago and one made very real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very, long last.’ 

The couple again exchanged vows at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022, two years to the day prior to Lopez’s divorce filing. 

Lopez is mother to 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony, 56, which lasted from 2004 to 2014. 

Affleck, who was married to Jennifer Garner, 52, from 2005 to 2018, has three children with her: 18-year-old Violet, 15-year-old Fin, and 12-year-old Samuel.
