Ben Affleck Just Dropped a Few Details About His Relationship With Jennifer Lopez

Despite being more than willing to hit the red carpet together and even pop up on each other’s social media feeds, the resurgent power couple Bennifer (Ben Affleck + Jennifer Lopez) isn’t spilling much in interviews. But in a new Wall Street Journal profile, Affleck opens up—a little bit. 

“I can say that it’s definitely beautiful to me,” he said about his reunion with Lopez, according to InStyle. “And, you know, one of the things I really value across all facets of my life now is that it was handled in a way that reflected that.”

He continued, “My life now reflects not just the person that I want to be, but the person that I really feel like I am—which is not perfect, but somebody who tries very hard and cares very much about being honest and authentic and accountable. It’s hard to say who benefits more, without going into gossipy detail.”

And to tease us further, Affleck added in the profile, “I could just say that I feel great about being very healthy. And it is a good story. It’s a great story. And, you know, maybe one day I’ll tell it. I’ll write it all out. And then I’ll light it on fire.” 

Unfortunately, that’s probably all we’re going to get from Ben Affleck. “You can write conjecture about it, but one of the harder lessons that I have learned is that it’s not wise to share everything with the world,” he told WSJ. “I know that I feel more comfortable having those healthy boundaries in my life around which, in a friendly and straightforward way, I tell you, I just don’t want to be talking about my personal relationship in the newspaper. I’m going to exercise a little restraint.”

Hey, listen, we’ll take what we can get.
