Ben Affleck Blames Jennifer Lopez Romance For Past Career Failures, Calls Jennifer Garner ‘The Greatest’

Ben Affleck doesn’t look back fondly at the frenzy surrounding his romance with Jennifer Lopez. The actor recently bashed his Bennifer days and blames the intense media coverage for his past career failures in Hollywood.

According to the New York Daily News, Affleck believes his 2002 box office flop Gigli was made worse because of his romance with JLo. Although he admits the movie was bad, he contends that everyone would have forgotten about it if it hadn’t been for Lopez.

“It could have been a bad movie no one cared about. Angelina Jolie had a bad movie that year and no one cared,” he shared, referencing Jolie’s Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. “But it was because I was dating Jennifer Lopez that made it a big f**king deal. So not only was it just a bad movie, but the ‘they dated each other.'”

Affleck and Lopez met while working together on the romantic comedy. Their romance heated up shortly after, and they eventually got engaged. Despite the movie flop, they continued dating but parted ways in 2004.

Lopez went on to marry Marc Anthony. They separated after seven years together, and she went on to date Casper Smart. For his part, Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner for a little over a decade before calling it quits in 2015. Affleck and Garner had three children together — Violet (11), Seraphina (7), and Samuel (4).
