As Jennifer Lopez travels Europe for her Up All Night tour, she’s taken harsh digs at past relationships and dropped shocking hints about her preferences in the bedroom on stage – but according to a source, her ex-husband Ben Affleck isn’t letting it get to him.
Specifically, J.Lo, 56, belted out that she’s feeling “stronger, wiser, better than I’ve ever been” as she escapes the “wreckage” of the unspecified romance during a July 8 performance in Spain.
A source called her behavior “childish” and not something that the Argo actor, 52, “wants to entertain” six months after their divorce was finalized, according to the Daily Mail.
“If this song or any others bash him, what can he do?” the source told the outlet. “It is something he can’t control, so he isn’t going to let it hurt him and he’s definitely not going to give it life by reacting.”
“He’s known her long enough and been given a nod on plenty of her music before so he is more than aware that this was coming,” continued the source. “He knows that this is something she has to do for herself and for her artistry.”

This comes after Lopez teased details about what she likes when she’s in “naughty” moods at a show in Italy.
“Sometimes I like it hard,” she told the audience at the Lucca Summer Festival on July 23. “Other days, I am feeling a little romantic. You put on candles and soft music. On those days, I like it real slow.”
“But there’s other days… maybe because it’s a new kind of time for me, maybe because it’s summertime and it’s hot outside, I feel a little more naughty,” she said. “On those days, I like it real fast.”

While Lopez appeared to hint at the demise of her relationship with Affleck with her new music, Affleck admitted his “temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers,” in a March interview with GQ.
Reflecting on the “cause” of the end of his marriage to the “On the Floor” singer, he suggested that the “truth” of what happened between them was fairly mundane.
“There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,” he continued. “The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, there is no: ‘This is what happened.’ It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”
