Ben Affleck Absolutely Gushes About Jennifer Lopez During New Interview

In case you hadn't noticed, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are in the middle of a divorce and are also—somewhat awkwardly—promoting a movie together. And while J.Lo is doing the majority of press for Unstoppable, Ben was just asked about the film (which he produced) by Entertainment Tonight. His musings about J.Lo? Just three words: "Jennifer is spectacular."

Jennifer and Ben's relationship status has been the subject of some speculation since they were spotted kissing during brunch following J.Lo's divorce filing. However, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that “There’s still a lot of love between them, but the divorce is still going forward.”

More recently, J.Lo opened up about the split to Interview (without name-dropping Ben), saying "Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself." The actor added that she's enjoying being single, saying "I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I fucking do when it’s just me flying on my own—what if I’m just free?"

Just FYI, a source told the Daily Mail that Ben "didn't get a heads-up" about this interview and thinks J.Lo will talk about their relationship "forever." As they put it, "Ben knows that she will talk about the breakup forever, because she has made albums and documentaries about their two relationships.He would love for her not to talk about it, but he feels she will always speak out. He didn't get a heads-up that she was going to talk about their relationship, but he assumed that it would eventually happen. It is a part of his life just as much as anything else, he's never going to get away from it."
