Ben Affleck Shares Update on Love Life 2 Years After Jennifer Lopez Divorce

Ben Affleck is giving rare insight into his romantic life two years after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, October 1, at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, Animals, Affleck, 54, said that these days, his focus is primarily on work and his three kids.

“There’s not a lot of room. I’m not running around,” Affleck said about his dating life post-Lopez, 57. “It’s just not a big priority in my life.”

Affleck is in a “good” place as a single man, telling ET that he’s “happy.”

“I know what my priorities are. You can’t have two things that are the most important in your life,” he explained. “For me, that’s the kids. So that’s what that is. And then I have my work, which I love.”

Affleck added, “I’m where I’m at, and I’m great, and who knows what adventures life will bring. I’m open to it, but I’m not trying to chase anything.”

The update comes more than two years after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck after just two years of marriage, following a rekindled romance for the pair, who first coupled up in the early aughts.

While not much has been said about either of their love lives in the years since their split, there have been rumors about potential couples, with Entertainment Tonight reporter Kevin Frazier asking Affleck if there was any truth to Ana Navarro claiming on Monday’s episode of The View that she tried to set the Gone Girl star up with Shakira.

“I hear [expletive] like that, honestly, first from people like you,” the longtime actor admitted, adding, “I never heard that in my whole life. People gossip. Stuff gets made up.”

“I don’t get set up,” Affleck insisted.

Affleck and Lopez’s divorce was officially finalized in January 2025. Prior to that, he was married to Jennifer Garner, with whom the Argo director shares children Violet, 20, Fin, 17 and Samuel, 14.

The pair tied the knot in 2005 but separated a decade later, ultimately finalizing their divorce in 2018.

In addition to Garner, 54, and Lopez, Affleck’s list of famous exes includes actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Ana de Armas and more.
