During a recent interview, Ben Affleck discussed the viral clip of him looking upset at the GRAMMYs earlier this year while attending with his partner Jennifer Lopez. He explained that he was actually just deep in thought and trying to figure out what was going on with the show. He said that he was not upset with Lopez and that the moment was taken out of context.
Ben Affleck has finally broken his silence about the tense moment at the 2022 Grammy Awards with his ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Affleck opened up about the viral moment that had everyone talking.
As the couple walked the red carpet separately, they were asked by an interviewer about their upcoming film “The Last Duel,” but things quickly became awkward when the topic shifted to their personal relationship. Lopez appeared visibly uncomfortable as Affleck attempted to redirect the conversation back to the film.
Reflecting on the moment, Affleck revealed that he didn’t handle the situation as well as he could have. “I think it’s always a little bit of a dance, and I missed a step. I didn’t quite know what to do,” he said.
Affleck also acknowledged the intense scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye and how it can affect relationships. “There’s always a lot of attention, and I think sometimes it can be harder to navigate, especially with the internet and the way things are reported,” he said.
Despite the awkward moment, Affleck emphasized that he and Lopez remain on good terms and have a strong friendship. “We have a great relationship. We’re friends. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her,” he said.
Affleck and Lopez first started dating in the early 2000s and were engaged before calling off their wedding in 2003. They rekindled their relationship in 2021 after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez, but ultimately called it quits later that year.
While the public may never know the full extent of their relationship, Affleck’s comments show that they are both committed to maintaining a positive relationship with each other. As for the awkward moment at the Grammys, Affleck has proven that he can handle it with grace and humility.
