Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, once famously known as Bennifer, reportedly treated each other with respect and dignity throughout their divorce proceedings, according to a recent In Touch report.
A source revealed that the former couple avoided unnecessary conflicts during the split. “Ben and Jennifer were not about to nickel and dime each other,” the insider shared.
“They respected each other way too much for that,” the source added, noting that despite any lingering emotions, they approached the situation with maturity.
“I’m not saying that it never crossed their minds, it just wasn’t worth it,” the insider continued. “They have too much history together. They actually parted as friends.”
The revelation about their amicable separation comes amid rumors that Jennifer Lopez may still be emotionally attached to Affleck. According to Closer Magazine, Lopez is “still laser-focused on Ben,” even as speculation swirls about her potential interest in actor Kevin Costner.
“Kevin certainly has his work cut out for him,” the source told the publication, adding that Lopez appreciates the idea of being with someone approved by Affleck and his supportive ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Lopez and Affleck, who rekindled their romance in 2021 after nearly two decades apart, had been considered a power couple during their time together. Their relationship and eventual separation continue to capture public attention, especially as they navigate new chapters in their personal lives.
The mutual respect and friendly parting reportedly displayed by Affleck and Lopez offer a rare example of civility in high-profile breakups, underscoring the deep connection and shared history they once had.
