Talk about celebrity couple disconnect! The pic is quite funny.

Can you blame him? Can't help but wonder if/how much he regrets blaming Garner for his drinking. He looks like he needs a big stiff one right about NOW!

I’m still shocked he married her. I’m really wondering if it was to save his career. I had a friend that worked at her restaurant years ago. Where is she refused to speak to any weight staff or anyone beneath her. He used to talk smack about her all the time. This was right after they broke up. So I don’t feel one bit sorry for him. He knew what shit show he was getting into. He should’ve stayed with the SNL producer that they looked like a horse. Maybe he would’ve had better luck.

This man is trying to numb himself from feeling something.

Didn’t realize his father was an alcoholic too. Did he ever get sober?

by Anonymousreply 60February 7, 2023 12:10 AM

Yes, r60. If his case is any indication, Ben may have a very rocky road ahead, indeed. I knew the father was in recovery and worked as an addictions counselor. What I didn't know until I read the Wiki entry is how hopeless he was . Before I brought this over here, I thought I'd read he was in rehab12 months which is a really long time, even with a halfway house stay. He lived there 12 YEARS!

[QUOTE]During Affleck's childhood, his father had a self-described "severe, chronic problem with alcoholism",[17] and Affleck has recalled him drinking "all day ... every day".[18] His father was "very difficult" ,[19] and Affleck felt a sense of "relief" at the age of 11 when his parents divorced,[20][21] and his father exited the family home.[17][9] His father continued to drink heavily[7] and eventually became homeless, spending two years living on the streets of Cambridge.[12][22] When Affleck was 16, his father entered a rehabilitation facility in Indio, California. He lived at the facility for twelve years to maintain his sobriety[23] and worked there as an addiction counselor.[7][24]

R91 Leah didn't attend her wedding, didn't post any message of congratulations, and hasn't addressed any questions about whether they're no longer friends. She hasn't mentioned Jennifer in months, so safe to say there's been a falling out.

The rumor was that she and Jennifer were secret lovers for several years. They showed up at an event a few years back holding hands and all over each other, and they certainly have chemistry together. As someone else noted, J-Lo really does keep a tight lid on her private life. Who knows what went down with these two...maybe we'll never really know.

R97 Indeed - It's actually surprising how much J.Lo been able to keep hidden. Her dad has been a Scientologist since the 80s and that didn't come out until she'd been famous for over a decade already. She also had a very predatory sounding relationship with her 30-something dance teacher when she was 18ish and homeless after her mother kicked her out. She also spent time living and working in Europe and Japan at just 18-19, which she has barely ever mentioned. The way she tells her life story, she had a normal happy childhood in the Bronx and then moved to Manhattan to pursue her dreams, and I'm sure there's much, much more to the story than that. I think she might be an interesting person under the superficial exterior she presents. She's certainly experienced a lot more than she lets on.

R100 - Thanks. Maybe Jlo was trying to make a big show support for Remini by appearing at her side affectionately. The timing coincides with Remini's (Emmy award winning) documentary series about Scientology and those who left the cult (I see the clam is here in record time at r101). She was being harassed and stalked by shifty private investigators hired by Co$. Anyway, that's interesting. Maybe she gave Jlo advice she didn't want to hear about Affleck. I know of a couple of friendships that cooled when doubts about a prospective marital partner were expressed.

J Lo has a New York Hispanic accent. Her first language is English but like many American born Hispanics, her inflections are influenced by her parents who do speak Spanish. She can speak some Spanish and understand it but she isn't extremely fluent and you can tell she grew up in The US.

R134 Both are selfish narcissists. Are you seriously thinking these are normal everyday people. They married for publicity. Not love. So I don't get why you're shocked. And just because someone is your spouse doesn't mean you can't do things separately and act independently. Jennifer is just needy and wants to show off Ben. It's not about wanting his support. She's been with men who supported her and still wasn't happy. She's an asshole who loves attention. Just like every other celebrity.

J Lo got the husband she deserved. Ben is an asshole but she knew it and still wanted to bag that good-looking A-list white guy. She's too selfish and demanding to maintain a loving relationship. Men want a woman who is loving, supporting and nurturing back. Not one that just takes, takes, takes and sucks up all the attention. Men also need their free time.

Most celebrities are too insecure and vain to maintain relationships. They are like teens in high school, they always crave popularity and nonstop attention. You need to be a mature adult with honesty, the ability to compromise and have empathy for a healthy relationship. Not seeing this with either Ben or J. Lo who are both attention seekers.

Older actors of a different time have been married to the same person for decades.

R139 Both are assholes. How is it sexism? Men and women want the same thing. Both are takers, not givers. She's been with men who worshipped her. Yet came back to a jerk who dumped her. Is she not an idiot? Stop defending this bitch please. You're embarrassing. She's no victim and got what she deserved. He got what he deserved. Sexism is women being paid less, being restricted access to abortion and denied leadership roles. This isn't the case here. She is more powerful than many women in the world. So stop it.

These two remind me of Shanann and Chris Watts. Hyper, bossy, preening wife dying to show off her handsome husband who would rather be indulging his solitary pleasures. Forced to be portrayed as a loving husband, doting dad. He’s gritting his teeth through all of it.

Why these guys choose these women is kind of a mystery. I think the women are easy to please with superficial gestures and seems on their girlfriends for most of their emotional fulfillment. And the men weaponize the bossy women to achieve their own ends and to handle their own family relationships. They can blame the wives.

It’s fucked up but I’ve seen it a lot.

This dynamic makes me feel a little sorry for Jennifer, but she’s been to this particular ride before. She signed up again.

R144 Yes exactly. She's not some ingenue, she's 54 and had been in many relationships that were more then often transactional. Either she's the breadwinner with a trophy husband (Casper, Ojani), a trophy wife (Diddy, A Rod, Marc) or power couple (Ben). She'll dump him or he'll dump her. Luckily this isn't like Chris Watts and his wife because both are independently wealthy and don't share kids. Divorce will not ruin them financially

If that's his attempt at acting "happy", "content", or "supportive husband" I don't think he chose the right role. Unbelievable performance. Two out of five stars, rotten on the tomato-meter.

The issue with I have is J. Lo is often victimized and her exes are maligned. It's often one-sided. She's been on her own since she was young and worked her way in the industry with no connections. People really act like she's so sweet and innocent when she's cutthroat and has a Machiavellian attitude. She knows what she is doing and often gets what she wants. And when you've been in many failed relationships for over 50 years, is it not your fault at some point? Same deal with Halle Berry. Women need to fix their own insecurities through therapy and embrace the single life for a while in the process. It's not like this is the 1800s anymore where women needed to be married for their own protection. You can't keep blaming straight men when you chase after the worst ones possible and want to be desperately married. You need to love yourself first, as cliche as it sounds.

R142 who were these men who worshipped her? Lopez has been in multiple abusive relationships and has been cheated on numerous times. Your attitude is pure misogyny. I'm sure she's a very difficult person but that doesn't mean sexism isn't a factor. What would people have said about her if she'd sat there with a sourpuss face during the entire Grammys like Ben did? Would people have found it endearing or would they have called her a bitch and a cunt?

by Anonymousreply 148February 8, 2023 11:56 AM

R148 And you don't think she abused them back and cheated on them too?We only hear her side because her PR is based on victimhood. Her exes rarely said anything bad about her and she's been amicable with many of them especially Marc So I'm not seeing any evidence of abuse. It's complex not black-and-white. I don't understand why people are so desperate to protect victimhood onto famous women.

r147 are you serious? JLo victimized? She has been on the receiving end of an incredible amount of vitriol for the last 20 years, more vitriol than many male celebrities receive for serious crimes like sexual assault and domestic violence. She was dragged through the mud in the early 00s, had the nickname J-Ho, was spoken about in a dehumanizing way. What was her crime, really? Being annoying, attention seeking, promiscuous...how does that compare to actually assaulting people? Ben Affleck has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women and cheated on the mother of his kids with the nanny and he gets less shit than she does.

Yes, she's cut throat because she has to be. Hollywood in the 90s wasn't an easy place for a young Hispanic woman with no connections. She's a businesswoman, and a very smart one. I don't see how that means she can't still be a victim of sexist, misogynistic attitudes.

R150 That's what being a celebrity is. You are a public figure up for scrutiny. Everyone is called names. She's a white Latina too, so why are you acting like that didn't help her career? Just like Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek. And yes Ben is a jerk but she knew that. Yet she married him after being in a previous relationship. Why are you treating her like a baby?.

R149 - you must experience a different Jennifer Lopez to the rest of us because I don't think she acts like a victim at all. Marc Anthony allegedly beat her and verbally abused her for years and she tried to stay amicable for the kids and moved on, with only a vague reference to how toxic their marriage was. She hasn't even commented on Alex Rodriguez and his cheating. She never brought up being jilted at the altar by Ben Affleck until they got back together 20 years later. I don't particularly like her but you're not being fair. I don't think she has ever wanted to be seen as a victim. She likes being seen as a powerful woman.

LOL Jennifer Lopez is NOT a white Latina. She's a mestiza, mixed black and white. Her mom looks at least 1/4 black, if not 1/2.

Anyway, back to Ben Sadfleck.

Jho is probably 12 percent black, mostly spanish European. Anyway she's looking her age. There was a clip where she's scolding him but she didn't know the camera was on her and she didn't even fake smile after it, ben looked miserable as usual.

Affleck is ageing her fast, r157. She looked a good 10-15 years younger than her age back in 2019. I wonder if she's taken up smoking again now she's with him.

Maybe it's because the last time I enjoyed Affleck in a movie was Gone Girl, but I'm kind of loving how he's now living the roll of Nick in his actual life.

One thing I can bet on NOT happening is Lopez buying him a bar.

Why does someone supposedly clean living like J-Lo keep picking these substance abusers? At her age, doesn't she want a peaceful life with someone stable and predictable instead of being constantly on edge around an addict?

r166 I think J-Lo got a reputation in the industry for sleeping around/casting couching early on and a lot of men avoid her because of that. Apparently Matt Damon told Ben Affleck about all the men she'd apparently been with and it played a big part in his decision not to marry her. Seems misogynistic and gross to me that this would be a thing, because who cares how many men she's fucked, but here we are.
