Ben Affleck is showing admiration for two important women in his life. The Hollywood actor has spoken out in defense of his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s acting talent while revealing that he still hopes to find the right movie project to share with his other former wife, Jennifer Garner.

Affleck and Lopez made headlines when they rekindled their romance years after their original relationship ended. The couple married in 2022, but Lopez filed for divorce in 2024, bringing their highly publicized marriage to an end.

Despite their separation, Affleck has continued to speak positively about Lopez, particularly when discussing her work as an actress.

During an interview with Variety, Affleck was asked about Lopez’s acting career and why he believes her performances have not always received the recognition they deserve from major awards organizations.

The actor acknowledged that his perspective was personal, but he made his admiration clear.

“I’m biased. I have an enormous amount of respect and admiration for what she can do,” Affleck said.

He also questioned whether awards consistently reflect artistic achievement, noting that the voting process is subjective and that he does not always agree with the winners.

“I don’t always think the right person won the right award,” he explained, adding that film honors ultimately represent the opinions of the people who vote on them.

His remarks come in the context of Lopez’s performance in Kiss of the Spider Woman, a project Affleck helped produce through Artists Equity, the production company he co-founded with Matt Damon.
