Ben Affleck embraces bachelor life, affirms admiration for Latinas after Jennifer Lopez split

Ben Affleck, now back on the market, is embracing his bachelor status with confidence and charm. The Oscar-winning actor was recently spotted dining at Lavo in West Hollywood when a paparazzo caught his attention and sparked a brief but telling exchange.

Speaking in Spanish, the photographer asked Affleck how it felt to be “Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor.” With a smile, Affleck responded, “Muy bien,” which translates to “very good.”

The exchange didn’t end there. When asked if he still has a fondness for Latinas, Affleck didn’t hesitate: “Of course I do.” His answer was casual but clear, reaffirming a connection that has long been part of his personal and romantic life-most notably through his high-profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez.

Affleck, now 52, learned Spanish as a teenager while working on a television show filmed in Mexico. That early immersion gave him a solid command of the language, which he has maintained and occasionally showcased in interviews and press tours.

Starting a Small Business Could Be Filled With Mistakes! How to Avoid Them

Lopez, 55, who is of Puerto Rican descent, shares a similarly deep cultural and linguistic connection. The two stars, famously nicknamed “Bennifer,” first got engaged in the early 2000s before calling it off due to the relentless pressures of fame.

They reconnected in 2021, more than a decade later, and were married by July 2022. However, their second chance at love proved to be short-lived. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, and the separation was finalized in January 2025.

The former couple are now looking to sell their marital mansion, which they purchased for $60.8 million back in May 2023 – a little less than a year after they tied the knot.

While they initially listed the property for around $68 million in July 2024, no buyers have come forward, and as a result they recently dropped the asking price to $59.95 million.

Affleck moving forward following Lopez split

Despite the split, Affleck has remained deeply respectful of Lopez and her children. He shares three children-Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel-with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez has 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with former husband Marc Anthony.

Since the divorce, Affleck has continued to maintain a close relationship with Lopez’s children, even attending red carpet events with them.

At a recent premiere for The Accountant 2, Affleck told Entertainment Tonight, “Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, and we have a great ongoing relationship. I love her kids. They are wonderful. She is enormously important, [a] tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.”

While their marriage may have ended, Affleck’s admiration for Lopez and the culture she represents clearly hasn’t. His remarks at Lavo suggest not just nostalgia, but a continued appreciation for Latin culture-and perhaps an openness to future romantic chapters that reflect that connection.
