Ben Affleck, the newly single actor, has been smiling around and about all over the cameras. When the paparazzi asked him how he the Hollywood’s Most Eligible Bachelor, was feeling, the 52-year-old actor couldn’t stop blushing.
Why did Ben Affleck blush?
Recently, Ben was spotted at a restaurant in West Hollywood, and reportedly, the photographer asked him in Spanish about how he was Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor.
According to the report, Affleck quickly went red in his cheeks and laughed off, saying, “Muy bien (very good).”
Furthermore, the paparazzi asked whether Affleck still likes Latinas. Considering Affleck got separated from one of the most famous Latinas in the world, not once but twice, the actor responded with “Yes, of course.” Affleck got acquainted with Spanish when he was living in Mexico for a year to film a children’s TV show at the age of 13.
The history of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have a history that could be written for the books. They started dating in 2002 on the sets of ‘Gigil,’ and they even got engaged in the same year with a highly publicised music video dedicated to them as well, according to InStyle.
The couple had planned to recite their vows in 2003; however, the wedding was called off, and so was the relationship a couple of months later. They somehow rekindled their relationship almost two decades later when they got engaged in April 2022 and got married in July 2022 in Las Vegas, with another ceremony in Georgia the following month.
With the plans of moving in, they bought a $60 million house and decorated it, only to announce their separation a year later and divorce each other. The divorce was finalised in January 2025.
Speaking to GQ about the experience, Ben said, “There’s a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something. But honestly … the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting.”
“There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue [about our divorce]. The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, there is no, ‘This is what happened,” he added.
