Jennifer Lopez Avoids Ben Affleck Question at 'Unstoppable' Premiere

At the recent U.K. premiere of her wrestling drama “Unstoppable,” Jennifer Lopez, famously known as “Jenny from the Block,” artfully sidestepped a question regarding her estranged husband, Ben Affleck. This event comes on the heels of Affleck’s public compliment about her, referring to her as “spectacular” during a recent interview.

When approached by a red carpet reporter for her take on Affleck’s praise, which emerged as he promoted a separate project, Lopez smiled but opted to focus her response on the entire team involved in their film. She lauded her co-stars and the crew, calling them “spectacular and wonderful,” steering the conversation away from Affleck entirely.

The couple, who married in a whirlwind romance in 2021, faced persistent rumors of a rift before Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck in August. In the meantime, Affleck’s recent comments about her have made waves, with him expressing admiration during an interview where he noted the collaborative spirit of the film's team, specifically highlighting Lopez’s talent.

In a candid cover story for *Interview* magazine published in October, Lopez reflected on her tumultuous marital journey without directly naming Affleck. She described her divorce as a life-altering experience, likening it to being hit 'really hard over the head with a f***ing sledgehammer.' She candidly shared that while the breakup was painful, she now feels 'excited' about her single life, indicating that stepping away was ultimately beneficial.

Lopez's marital history includes three previous unions with Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twin children, Emme and Max. Meanwhile, Affleck's previous marriage to Jennifer Garner ended in 2018 after they separated in 2015.

As the two navigate their personal paths amidst public scrutiny, fans are left wondering about what’s next for both stars. Will they eventually reach a point of amicable co-parenting or reconciliation? Only time will tell!
