Ben Affleck addresses whether he likes ‘Latinas’
Affleck was reportedly in West Hollywood to have dinner at Lavo Ristorante when he was asked by a paparazzi in Spanish what he was feeling about being Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor. Affleck laughed and replied with a “Muy bien,” or “very good” in English.
He was then asked, “Do you still like Latinas?” The Accountant 2 star responded, “Yes, of course.” Affleck learned Spanish after spending a considerable time in his youth in Mexico while filming a TV show. (via TMZ)
Back in April 2023, he went viral after speaking in Spanish while promoting the sports biography drama film Air. Reflecting on the project, Affleck said in Spanish on a radio show, “What’s important to understand is this isn’t about Michael Jordan’s story, he doesn’t even appear in the movie. There’s not an actor in the world who could be cast to play him whom the audience would believe. They would immediately think, ‘This is b——-. This movie is b——-. I don’t believe any of this,’ And that would destroy it completely.”
The radio show, La Cadena SER, subsequently shared the clip on social media, and it became viral. (via Esquire)
Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were initially in a relationship from 2002 to 2004. They became acquainted on the set of the film Gigli in late 2001, and things developed from there. The two stars got engaged but eventually parted ways.
In 2021, Affleck and Lopez began seeing each other again. A year later, they disclosed to the public that they had gotten engaged. The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 16, 2022. However, the marriage ultimately ended a few years later, with the divorce being finalized on February 21, 2025. Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children.
