They got divorced back in 2015.In the years since their engagement broke down, Affleck and Lopez appear to have maintained a cordial if somewhat distant friendship, which they have occasionally discussed in public.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, Affleck said he kept in touch with her.“We don’t have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind where there’ll be an email saying, ‘Oh your movie looks great,’” he explained.“I remember when she got American Idol, I said, ‘This was really smart. Good luck.’“I touch base. I respect her. I like her. She’s put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I’m really pleased to see her successful.”A couple of years later, Lopez told America’s Today show Affleck was her “first big heartbreak”, though in a 2015 interview with HuffPost Live she had “no regrets” about the relationship.“I would do it all over again, I think. I really would. Even the relationship part,” Lopez said.“I just feel like everything is part of your story and your journey and is meant to be, and helps you grow if you’re willing to look at it. And I’m willing to look.”FTN AM May 11In 2016, she gave this wistful quote to People.“I think different time, different thing, who knows what could have happened? But there was a genuine love there,” said Lopez.Last year it was Affleck’s turn to say something in public. Speaking to The New York Times, he praised Lopez for her performance in the Actually Quite Good film Hustlers, saying she had been snubbed by the Oscars.“I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her. How awesome is it that she had her biggest hit movie at 50? That’s f***ing baller,” said Affleck.At the time, Lopez was engaged to retired baseballer Alex Rodriguez. The pair confirmed they had split in April of this year, saying they were “better as friends”.That may have cleared the way for a Bennifer renaissance.
