**Los Angeles, CA** – Ben Affleck has spoken out about his amicable relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez following their separation last year. In recent interviews, Affleck praised Lopez, calling her “an enormously important, tremendous person” whom he adores and is deeply grateful for. He emphasized her strong bond with his three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, highlighting her continued presence in their lives.
Affleck, appearing at the premiere of “The Accountant 2” with all five of his children, described Lopez as “spectacular” and praised her relationship with his kids. He also expressed similar affection for Lopez’s children with Marc Anthony. These comments contradict rumors of a contentious split, with Affleck stating in a *GQ* interview that the breakup was “much more quotidian” than sensationalized reports suggested. He acknowledged personality differences between himself and Lopez but insisted they weren’t the cause of the separation.
While Affleck focused on dispelling rumors, Lopez previously described the divorce as “f–ing hard” in an interview with *Interview Magazine*, highlighting the emotional toll. However, she expressed no regrets and emphasized her ability to find joy and happiness independently.
A source close to the former couple told the *Daily Mail* that both Affleck and Lopez are saddened by the end of their marriage but are channeling their energy into their respective careers. Lopez is preparing for a limited summer tour, while Affleck is busy filming his latest project, “Animals.” Both are reportedly focused on professional success rather than dwelling on their personal loss.
