Jennifer Lopez Takes a Playful Jab at Ex-Husband Ben Affleck During Vegas Residency

Jennifer Lopez took a playful dig at her ex-husband Ben Affleck during one of her recent shows from her Las Vegas residency.

In a clip shared by Deux Moi on Monday, March 23, Lopez, 56, spotted an eager fan in the audience while performing on stage and she asked, “Can we bring him up here?”

“Oh yes look at this guy,” she continued, “we’re gonna take him for everything that he’s got.”

When the “Let’s Get Loud” singer asked the man his name, he replied, “Ben.”

“Ben?! Ugh!” Lopez retorted before laughing loudly.

Lopez and Affleck, 53, were first linked together in the early aughts after meeting on the set of Gigli in 2002, leading to Bennifer becoming one of the most high-profile couples in Hollywood at the time. Later that same year, the Good Will Hunting star popped the question. However, they never made it down the aisle and they broke off their engagement in January 2004.

Six months later, the Hustlers star married Marc Anthony, and in 2008, they welcomed twins Emme and Max, but just three years later, they announced their split.

Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Garner in 2005. He and Garner, 53, welcomed their three children – Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13. In 2015, the 13 Going On 30 star and Affleck called it quits after 10 years of marriage.

By 2021, Affleck had reunited with Lopez and the two went Instagram official in July of that same year. The following April, Affleck got down on one knee once again. This time they married in a quick ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, and they celebrated with friends and family in another ceremony on August 20, 2022, at Affleck’s property outside of Savannah, Georgia.

Unfortunately, their love story wasn’t meant to be and exactly two years after their Georgia nuptials, Lopez filed for divorce.

Affleck later opened up about their split and he told GQ that there was “no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue.”

“The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, there is no, ‘This is what happened,’” he told the publication. “It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”
