In conversation with a media outlet, it was disclosed that “Ben appears more comfortable now” and this pleases him. Additionally, someone acquainted with the Good Will Hunting actor stated, “He’s immersed in his self-improvement and work, and he seems genuinely content.

Affleck and Lopez went through a very public separation, with stories about them almost daily in the news. For the first time, Affleck discussed his divorce during an interview with GQ. The actor stated that there was neither a scandal nor a soap opera behind his split from the singer-actress.
