It looks like the exes once known as Bennifer have been enjoying their single life since their final divorce in 2025. Ben Affleck looked a little less somber than usual as he discussed life as an eligible bachelor in Spanish. When asked if he “still loves Latinas,” Affleck quickly responded with, “Yes, of course I do,” in a May 2025 video shared by the Daily mail.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has been hard at work promoting her new rom-com “Office Romance” and fending off dating rumors between her and her co-star Brett Goldstein. There’s no denying that the two look good together, and besides, it wouldn’t be the first time Lopez has had a conflict with a co-star. Affleck and Lopez famously met on the set of “Gigli,” which led to an on-off-off romance for the ages. Since then, Lopez has battled dating rumors with almost every co-star she’s shared the screen with.
In early June 2026, an insider said Page six that Lopez and Goldstein “had a great time together at the wrap party (of ‘Office Romance’) and it was clear they liked each other.” Their alleged affair was short-lived, a source said InTouch in April 2026: “From the beginning, she saw him as a rebound.” Since then, Lopez has bluntly shut down any rumors of sparks between the two. During a conversation with the host “Today”. Savannah Guthrie and Lopez confirmed they were “not dating” (via E! News).
The aftermath of Bennifer’s divorce includes an overpriced mansion and an adjustment to single life
Behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce lies the difficult path of their relationship, which started in 2002. The couple had ups and downs, including a failed engagement. Affleck went on to marry actor Jennifer Garner, and Lopez married singer Marc Anthony before eventually reuniting with Affleck in 2021. Bennifer married the following year, almost twenty years after their first meeting.
The end of their two-year marriage was marked by the putting of their shared mansion on the market for a hefty $68 million. While Lopez insisted on keeping the price raised (despite insiders telling… Daily mail that the house was unreasonably expensive), Affleck reportedly “wanted to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and get it done.” He eventually gave Lopez his stake in the property, cutting ties with his ex for the final time, and she relisted it for $50 million in May 2026.
The two are now dealing with the consequences of the second breakup with Bennifer. Lopez is embracing her single life with open arms, even though the journey hasn’t been easy.
