In a recent interview with GQ magazine, actor Ben Affleck opened up about his divorce from Jennifer Lopez and his co-parenting relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Affleck described discussing the details of his split from Lopez as “just sort of embarrassing” and making him feel “vulnerable.”
Affleck emphasized that there was “no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue” surrounding his divorce from Lopez, stating, “It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships.” 
Regarding his relationship with Garner, Affleck expressed gratitude, saying, “I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great, and we work together well.” The former couple, who share three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—have maintained a collaborative co-parenting relationship since their separation in 2015. 
Affleck also discussed his participation in the 2024 documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which examined his relationship with Lopez. He explained his involvement by stating, “Part of it was, ‘Okay, if I’m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that’s interesting.’ Because I thought it was an interesting examination.”
While Affleck and Lopez’s marriage lasted approximately two years, their divorce was finalized in January 2025. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Affleck has consistently expressed respect for Lopez and appreciation for Garner’s role in co-parenting their children.
