Ben Affleck Opens Up About Life in J.Lo’s ‘Famous’ Shadow
In the first episode of the new season of Hart to Heart, comedian Kevin Hart’s interview show on Peacock, Oscar winner Ben Affleck delves deep into his anxieties surrounding his career, and origins in Hollywood. While Affleck largely skirts his personal life, he does share a few insights into what it’s like to be married to multi-hyphenate mega-star Jennifer Lopez.
At the moment, relentless rumors have it that Lopez and Affleck—who famously first got engaged in the aughts before breaking up days before their wedding—are on the brink of divorce. Some have speculated that Lopez’s consistent presence on social media has rankled Affleck in their relationship.
In a documentary accompanying Lopez’s self-funded musical film This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, Affleck expressed reluctance to fully embrace his wife’s vision for the film, which involved giving her collaborators access to a trove of love letters exchanged between Affleck and Lopez.
