Before the rumors of divorce between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began, the actor was the target of criticism for his gestures of displeasure or his “serious” faces when he was approached by the paparazzi with his wife.

About this, the actor was able to speak on comedian Kevin Hart’s show, called ‘Hart to Heart’. The protagonist of ‘Argo’ was sincere in admitting that he does not like the attention he receives from the press and that is the reason for his gestures.

And I’m a little shy. I also don’t like excess attention. And that’s why people will say, ‘This guy always seems angry.’ But it’s because someone is pointing the camera directly at my face.”

The actor also talked about what it means to deal with a wife that people adore, saying: “When we go somewhere with Jennifer, people go out of their way to show that they love her and that she really represents something important in their lives. It’s amazing, you know what I mean?”

Affleck shares experience with JLo fans

During the broadcast of the program, he was sincere in demonstrating how much he cares about spending time with his family and took the opportunity to tell a family anecdote, referring to the attention that JLo receives from fans and the press.

“One time, when we were walking through Times Square, we got out of the car, we were going to a play, and everything went crazy. I could not believe it. There was a lady who was smoking marijuana, dressed in a tight purple suit, a robust woman, and she started running back filming, saying ‘JLo!’ Like someone who then attracts everyone else. And then, a swarm of tourists appeared”, said.

However, the funniest thing, according to what the actor said, was the reaction of his eldest daughter, Violet, a product of his relationship with the actress and film producer, Jennifer Garner.

“We were with our five children, and suddenly hundreds of people showed up. And everyone was screaming! In that context, my daughter simply turned to me and said: ‘JLo is my stepmother.’ And I said, okay, that’s a good title for your autobiography.”

What did the actor say about the divorce?

In this interview, which premiered on June 20, Jennifer Lopez’s husband did not address any type of rumors about their separation. Which may mean that it was recorded before the press focused all its attention on them.

Divorce rumors between the two Hollywood stars began right after JLo canceled her world tour.

But, they intensified when it was announced that they are selling the marital home in California for an amount of $65 million dollars.

The couple married in 2022 in Las Vegas, after being engaged in 2003.
