Jennifer Lopez declined to return soon-to-be ex-husband Ben Affleck’s compliment when asked how she would describe his “producing” skills on their new film Unstoppable, opting instead to compliment “everybody behind the scenes.”
In a red carpet interview posted to X, when asked about Affleck’s comment that she was “spectacular” in the film and if she would comment on his “producing” of it, Lopez responded, “I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular.”
In Unstoppable, Lopez plays the determined mother of Anthony Robles, based on the collegiate wrestling champion’s real life journey to athletic success after being born with one leg. Affleck paid Lopez the surprising compliment in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in the midst of their divorce after just two years together, for which Lopez filed in August.
Though he was quick to compliment his ex during the interview, he’s ready to move on and start dating again, an inside source told The Daily Mail—but only if the person is sober or in recovery, as he continues his own recovery from alcohol addiction. Lopez, for her part, said she’s not “looking for anybody.”
With another Lopez ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs, incarcerated and awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, Lopez will likely be dodging questions about her exes for some time to come.
