Ben Affleck surprises Jennifer Lopez with a flattering comment in the midst of their divorce

Ben Affleck offered a heart-filled compliment to Jennifer Lopez for her role in her new movie, despite the pair being in the middle of divorce negotiations after their marriage fell apart through 2023 and 2024.

The world was stunned when the On The Floor singer filed for divorce on August 20 after revealing that the pair had been split up since April, as their feud and relationship breakdown continues to rage on.

Their announcement came after they missed their birthdays and the date of their anniversary together, and confirmed the fears of Bennifer fans that they were inevitably due to split up after four years together.

And despite a brief chance of reunion at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the divorce is still going ahead. Although that doesn't mean they're on bad terms as evidenced by the words of the Batman actor.

"Unstoppable is a very different movie than this," Affleck told Entertainment Tonight. "But in a way, it's similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists.

"Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome], and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film. Jennifer is spectacular.

"[It's] another one that we're really really proud of. We believed in the right people and Unstoppable is another example of that."

What is Unstoppable about?

Unstoppable will release on December 6, so just over a month away, and will star Lopez alongside Michael Pena and Jharrel Jerome and it has already been given the thumbs up as per imDb with a 7.8/10 rating.

So what is it actually about? The film is a drama-sports movie that focuses on the life of wrestler Anthony Robles.

Robles was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University and Lopez stars as his mother.
