“You’re fabulous, you’re amazing”: After Alleged Marriage Troubles, Ben Affleck Praises Wife Jennifer Lopez Following Fans Calling Her a ‘Toxic Wife’
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have often been in the headlines for their on-and-off romance. The couple planned to marry in 2003, but due to the intervention of the media, they called off their wedding. A year later, the couple parted ways. Later, the duo rekindled their romance and got married in 2022 in a private ceremony. Not even a year has passed since the couple got married, and it was allegedly reported that the twosome is facing troubles in their marriage.
During the Grammys, Affleck and Jlo were spotted together, and Affleck was captured making a distressed face. That face didn’t go unnoticed by fans, and it created a buzz. Recently, while promoting his latest movie, Air, Ben Affleck took a moment to appreciate his wife.
What did Ben Affleck say while praising his wife, Jennifer Lopez?
Ben Affleck was recently spotted at the premiere of his latest film, Air. While talking about his new film and showing gratitude to his fellow actors, the 50-year-old actor took a moment to appreciate his wife, Jennifer Lopez, who was also present at the premiere. The Good Will Hunting actor said,
“This has been a joy, and I want to just enjoy this moment for one second. And I want to say that none of it would be possible—this company, this movie, this joy tonight—without the love and support of my wife, who means more to me than anything in the world. I want to say thank you. I love you. You mean the world to me. You’re fabulous, you’re amazing, you’re wonderful, good, kind, magnificent, and I love you.”
Affleck’s gesture towards his wife Jlo was well appreciated, but it also left fans confused amidst the rumors of their turbulent marriage.
Why did fans call Jennifer Lopez a “toxic wife”?
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made an appearance together at the Grammy Awards. During the event, what caught the camera’s attention was Affleck’s sad face, which quickly went viral. Affleck’s distressed face became meme material for social media, and many users commented on it. A user wrote,
“Ben Affleck is every husband dragged to a work thing by his wife.”
Not just this, but the duo was also captured arguing during a performance. Later, the Argo director explained,
“I saw Trevor Noah approaching, and I was like, ‘Oh, God.’ They were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling. I leaned into her, and I was like, ‘As soon as they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.’ She goes, ‘You better f**king not leave.’ That’s a husband-and-wife thing. I mean, some of it is, and I’m like, ‘All right, who is this act?’ Like, I don’t keep up. My wife does, obviously. And yeah, it is your wife’s work event. And I’ve gone to events and been pissed off. I’ve gone and been bored. I’ve gone to award shows and been drunk a bunch. Nobody ever once said I’m drunk. But at the Grammys, they were like, “He’s drunk.” And I thought that’s interesting. That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it’s wise to acknowledge addiction because there’s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting. I do think it disincentivizes people from making their lives better.”
Affleck’s statement shows that the couple isn’t on the same page when it comes to enjoying events. The Way Back actor’s sad expression during Music’s Biggest Night didn’t go unnoticed by fans and raised many eyebrows. Some fans also suggested that Affleck’s demeanor at the Grammys demonstrates the troubled relationship between him and his wife, Jennifer Lopez.
