Jennifer Lopez discusses challenges amid Ben Affleck's divorce
The Gigli co-stars, who rekindled their decade-old romance into marriage, ended up separating just two years after their grand wedding. JLo filed for divorce on their anniversary after the couple spent the entire summer apart when Affleck moved out of their shared mansion and began living in Brentwood, close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their kids, whom they co-parent.
During the screening of her film Unstoppable, the pop star, who portrays Judy Robles, spoke candidly about facing “challenging relationships” amid her ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck. Stepping into the role of the mother of wrestling champion Anthony Robles, Lopez reflected on how relatable her character’s journey is for women who balance motherhood with life’s tough moments.
Lopez, a mother to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme shared, “I think a lot of women have gone through that, and she [Judy] and I talked a lot.” “When you talk to Judy’s kids, including Anthony, they’re like, ‘My mom’s so positive, she’s so great,’” Lopez continued according to the outlet. “There was a whole different story there that she was living, that you hide from your children, you protect your children from that.”
Jennifer Lopez shared how Judy Robles’ children, including Anthony, always saw their mom as "so positive" and "so great," not knowing the struggles she was hiding to protect them. Lopez connected this to her own experience, emphasizing how mothers often shield their kids from life's challenges. In a separate interview, Ben Affleck described Lopez as "spectacular" when asked about her performance in Unstoppable. The Atlas star reportedly also shares a very good bond with Affleck-Garner’s kids.
