Hollywood actor Ben Affleck made a statement about love on Tuesday after he finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year. Affleck may have just dropped a major hint about the reason for his split from Jennifer Lopez after the Hollywood stars settled their divorce.

While talking about The Accountant 2 with costar Jon Bernthal on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the Oscar-winning actor spit out some telling words.

Ben Affleck's hint on failed marriage

"The people you love the most drive you the most crazy," shared the Argo director. He was shedding light on the way his character interacts with Jon's character in the sequel; they play brothers in the film. His remarks came after the Good Will Hunting star and Lopez's divorce was settled in the Los Angeles Superior Court on January 6, months after she filed for the separation last August, marking the end of their two-year marriage.

Affleck added, "And the humour is rooted in that relationship."

Also in the interview Ben cleared up that he is a 'happy' person despite photographs of him looking glum when out on the town.

This comes a week after he called Jennifer 'spectacular' as he added: 'She’s an enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.' His line that 'the people you love the most drive you the most crazy' seems to be targeted at Lopez, according to Daily Mail.

This comes a week after Ben told Entertainment Tonight he thinks Lopez is 'spectacular.'

'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,' the star explained.

'I love her kids. They’re wonderful. She’s an enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.'

Why are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at odds now?

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer and her ex-husband Ben Affleck are reportedly in a disagreement over how to handle the sale of their $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills, Calif., which has been sitting on the market for nearly nine months.

The “Good Will Hunting” star is looking to drop the steep price of the mansion to get the property off their hands, while Lopez is still holding out for a buyer, sources told TMZ Wednesday. According to the outlet, there hasn’t been serious interest in the house since the beginning of the year. The pair settled their divorce in January.

The exes listed the 38,000-square-foot mansion in July 2024 after they attempted to quietly sell the property off-market. They reportedly did receive and accept a $64 million offer last September, but the potential buyers pulled out of escrow.

In the wake of their divorce, the “Hustlers” actress moved into an $18 million home near Los Angeles, per People. Affleck, on the other hand, purchased a $20 million pad in the Pacific Palisades in August 2024 prior to his ex-wife’s divorce filing.
