In a candid conversation with comedian Kevin Hart, Ben Affleck opened up about the undeniable star power of his wife, Jennifer Lopez.
During the season four premiere of Hart’s talk show, “Heart to Heart,” which aired on June 20, Affleck shared his thoughts on Lopez’s immense popularity and how it impacts their family dynamics.
He remarked that her fame resonates deeply with fans, creating an electric atmosphere wherever they go together.
Affleck recounted a memorable outing in New York City with Lopez and their blended family.
The couple, who share a total of five children from previous relationships, found themselves navigating the bustling streets of Times Square on their way to a play.
Affleck, who has three children—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, described the scene as chaotic yet exhilarating.
Lopez’s presence drew a crowd, turning their simple family outing into a spectacle.
He humorously recalled the moment they exited the car, noting how they were already running late.
“I was like, ‘Come on, we gotta hustle!’”
he said.
The excitement of being in public with Lopez quickly escalated, as fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the superstar.
Affleck vividly painted a picture of the scene, describing a particularly enthusiastic fan who was filming while wearing a striking purple outfit.
It felt like they were surrounded by a wave of adoration for Lopez.
Despite the frenzy, Affleck expressed a mix of amusement and overwhelm.
The attention Lopez attracts is something he has grown accustomed to, but it still surprises him.
“It’s like she has this magnetic pull,” he explained, reflecting on how their children also experience the excitement of being in the spotlight.
While he enjoys the fun moments, he admitted that the constant attention can be a lot to handle.
Interestingly, Affleck shared his feelings about being photographed.
He confessed that he doesn’t mind being in the spotlight when he’s with Lopez, especially during events like club appearances or movie premieres.
“I don’t care; take my picture,” he said with a laugh.
However, when it comes to his kids, he feels differently.
Protecting their privacy is a priority for him, and he prefers to keep those moments away from the cameras.
The couple’s candid discussion comes at a time when they are reportedly facing some challenges in their marriage.
Sources have revealed that Lopez’s busy work commitments, including plans for her “This Is Me Now” tour—which she eventually canceled—have contributed to tensions between the two.
As Lopez juggles her career, it seems that the demands of fame are taking a toll on their relationship.
Affleck and Lopez are currently navigating these complexities while selling their shared home in Los Angeles.
This decision reflects their effort to reassess their relationship and find common ground amidst the pressures of their high-profile lives.
Reports indicate that Affleck temporarily left the house as they work through their issues, highlighting the reality that even Hollywood couples face struggles.
An insider noted that balancing Lopez’s demanding career with family life has proven challenging for both her and Affleck.
“She’s trying to figure out her next act,” the source revealed, suggesting that the couple is in a period of transition.
Despite the hurdles, Affleck and Lopez continue to present a united front, demonstrating their commitment to each other and their children.
