Ben Affleck does not do many interviews, but he has found ways to share his feelings and thoughts on some matters.
While Jennifer Lopez was busy giving speeches in support of Kamala Harris, Affleck quietly made it clear that he has discovered one aspect of his last divorce that troubles him.
Lopez and the Oscar winner were married for two years when the singer filed for divorce on their anniversary.
The actress and businesswoman made a move because she wanted to be liberated and reclaim her dignity. It now seems that Affleck wants to be utterly free from Lopez.
Lopez and her ex-husband’s children are very close and attend the same school. That applies to Lopez and Affleck having awkward run-ins during some school functions.
He is also forced to have family dinners and attend celebrations for significant holidays with Lopez after their public and ugly divorce.
The Batman actor was prepared for a few odd face-to-face encounters with his ex here and there, such as at school functions or children’s events. However, in the past few weeks, he has seen Lopez too many times to count, and he is unhappy about it.
Via Yahoo and In Touch, a source said that while Affleck knew that the meetings were inevitable, he still finds it a bit disconcerting.
The person told the media outlet: “Ben knows he’s going to see Jen at these functions. Their kids go to the same school, so how could he not? Still, it’s awkward.”
According to the source who talked to the media outlet, Affleck certainly does not feel the need to interact with Lopez at school functions and family gatherings. However, after all has been said and done, his and Lopez’s children’s well-being comes first.
The actor will put his hurt feelings and ego aside for the sake of their blended family. The insider stated: “Ben would rather not see Jen, but the kids come first. He can’t be selfish. She’d like to be closer.”
The family friend concluded with the truth that Affleck has been carrying in his heart — he would prefer not to bump into Lopez anymore.
The source concluded by: “But as far as Ben’s concerned, it’s better for them to keep separate lives as much as possible.”
Will the actor get his clean break? Lopez does not not seem to care about his feelings and is busy moving forward.
