**LOS ANGELES** – Ben Affleck has offered his first public comments on his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, revealing that the split was not the result of any dramatic event but rather a gradual unraveling of their relationship. In a candid interview with GQ, Affleck, 52, dismissed rumors and speculation, stating that the breakup was “a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”

He described the situation as akin to a “couple’s therapy session,” emphasizing that the reasons for their separation are complex and deeply personal, and not something he feels comfortable sharing publicly. Affleck explained that revealing such intimate details would be “embarrassing” and “vulnerable.”

The actor also addressed his participation in the 2024 documentary, *The Greatest Love Story Never Told*, clarifying that the film did not contribute to the breakdown of his marriage. He praised Lopez, 55, for her skillful navigation of celebrity life, contrasting her approach with his own more reserved and private nature.

Affleck reiterated that there’s no single, easily identifiable cause for the divorce, stating that the reality is “much more quotidian” than the public might imagine. He expressed respect for his ex-wife and emphasized his desire for privacy in this matter.
