Ben Affleck has been married twice and had multiple long-term relationships, all of which suffered the same horrible fate.
Jennifer Lopez has been engaged six times and had four weddings, ending in divorce. Ben Affleck’s most recent marriage was to Jennifer Lopez.
The pair reunited two decades after their first engagement went south. However, sadly, the wedding bliss they were praying for only lasted two short years.
Now, what for the exes? Jennifer Lopez has confirmed that she is a hopeless romantic and Ben Affleck is ready and willing to give his heart up to another lucky lady who is willing to accept him with all his flaws.
Sources close to the Oscar winner confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that he is ready to date again when the proper lady comes along.
The source said: “He’s open to it. However, dating is not at the top of his to-do list. Ben has other more important priorities.”
Jennifer Lopez wanted the world to know that she was focused on being single and wanted to finally discover what it feels like to be solo on life’s journey.
The actress and singer was recently interviewed by comedian Nikki Glaser, where she asked about her dating life post-Affleck divorce.
Lopez made it clear she is not looking for a man and is not interested in falling for love. She confessed: “Here’s the thing: There’s no new bar because I’m not looking for anybody. How’s that?”
Glaser asked Lopez if this was “the first time you’ve been able to say that as a single woman?” Lopez happily responded with a lively “Yes!”
The entertainer went on to add: “For people who are romantics and love being in relationships and want to grow old with somebody, we think, ‘I have to have that to be whole and happy.’ And you don’t.”
Lopez concluded by saying she does not regret ending her marriage to Affleck because that is what she needed.
She said: “That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did. But now, on the other side, I think to myself, ‘F–k, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned it two or three times ago. I get it. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a f–king sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don’t have to do it again.'”
The Hollywood icons have moved on.
