Now that Bennifer has come and gone (again), everyone is looking at Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck‘s relationship is different.
Before J.Lo finally filed for divorce, sources claimed her inner circle, including her longtime manager Benny MedinaHATED her husband. Not a good sign! Recently, because they apparently didn’t have a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot, Ben’s best friend Matt Damon could be dragged into the messy divorce that must have made him angry Jenny from the Block!
The duo founded their production company Artist equity after the Bennifers’ wedding, meaning that Ben’s share is now community property in the divorce, according to TMZ. So the singer is entitled to financial participation in her films and could fight with Ben for a portion of his company share! With all this in mind, it got us thinking… If J.Lo’s friends never liked Ben, what did his friends think of her?? Did everyone see the warning signs or not?!

Well, it turns out The Martian Star was actually very open about what he thought about the lovebirds when they rekindled things. In 2021, Matt chatted with Extra on the red carpet of his film Stillwater and he commented on the romance and shared:
“I’m just so happy for him.”
So not exactly a glowing review or commentary on Jennifer herself. Just that he’s happy for his girlfriend. Hmm. It seemed like such a sweet gesture at the time, but looking back, was that a bit cryptic? Did he intentionally not mention the other half of the relationship?? Hmm.
The 53-year-old did pay tribute to Jennifer a little later, but kept his thoughts vague and added:
“He’s the best. He deserves all the happiness in the world. I’m happy for both of them.”
Hm.
By the way, this was not the only time he commented on the relationship. In May of the same year, before the romance was confirmed, he appeared on Today Where Savannah Guthrie And Hoda Kotb asked him about the alleged sparks. He teased him shyly:
“I just heard you. I was sitting here waiting for it to come on TV. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
But he raved about both of them and said:
“It’s a fascinating story. I hope it’s true. I love them both. I hope it’s true. That would be great.”
At that time, Matt seemed to Hustlers alum, as far as we know. So we suspect that only her friends recognized the warning signs before everyone else!
But as Ben’s best friend, we wonder if Matt disagrees these days?? We mean, he has to if he’s about to be dragged into the middle of a divorce, right? And just imagine the horror stories he might have heard from his pal when the marriage fell apart! He has to drink all the tea – and he’s clearly Team Ben!
Matt has been by Ben’s side throughout the separation and the two have spent a lot of time together both before and after the divorce. From what we’ve heard, Ben has been completely focused on work. At the weekend, the father of three even seemed to be in a good mood as he The instigators Star, his wife Luciana Barrosoand their kids for dinner in Los Angeles. So Matt’s loyalty hasn’t changed! Romances may come and go, but this bromance will never change.
