It seems 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 likes Latinas,” Affleck quickly responded with, “Yeah, of course I do,” in a May 2025 video shared by Daily Mail. Well, if there’s one thing that can make Ben Affleck smile, it’s his love for Latinas. His statement may hint at who he might be looking for in his next romance.
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 doubt that the two look great together, plus, it wouldn’t be the first time Lopez has had a dalliance with a co-star. Affleck and Lopez famously met on the set of “Gigli,” which sparked an on-again-off-again romance for the ages. Since then, Lopez has battled dating rumors with nearly every co-star she’s shared the screen with.
In early June 2026, an insider told Page six that Lopez and Goldstein “got really cozy together at the wrap party (of ‘Office Romance’) and it was clear they were into each other.” Their alleged fling was short-lived, a source said InTouch in April 2026, “Right from the start she saw him as a rebound.” Since then, Lopez has adamantly shut down any rumors of sparks between the two. When you talk to the “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, Lopez Confirm They ‘Didn’t Date’ (via E! News).
The aftermath of the Bennifer divorce includes an overpriced mansion and an adjustment to the single life
Behind Jennifer Lopez’s divorce from Ben Affleck lies the rocky road in their relationship, which started in 2002. The couple had their ups and downs, including a failed engagement. Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner, and Lopez tied the knot with singer Marc Anthony before eventually reuniting with Affleck in 2021. Bennifer married the following year, nearly 20 years after they first met.
The end of their two-year marriage was marked by putting their shared mansion on the market for $68 million. While Lopez insisted on keeping the price up (despite insiders revealing to Daily Mail that the home was unreasonably priced), 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 one last tie to his ex, and she relisted it for $50 million in May 2026.
The two are now navigating the fallout from the second Bennifer fracture. Lopez has embraced her single life with open arms, although the journey has not been easy. She revealed on “SmartLess” podcast, “After my last divorce, I was just sitting there … and I was just like, ‘You gotta damn figure yourself out.’ This would explain Lopez’s quickness to shut down her “Office Romance” dating rumors, even though she and Brett Goldstein seemed like a perfect match.
