IN BRIEF

• Ben Affleck, in the process of divorcing Jennifer Lopez, has found a way to éavoid hearing about his ex
• Furthermore, the actor avoids social media and does not publicly comment on his divorce
• Despite the separation, the joint projects complicate the distance between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

Trying to forget your ex after a breakup is one thing. But when you're a celebrity, it immediately becomes more complicated. Indeed, whether on social networks, in the media, or even sometimes in the street, stars are constantly reminded of the existence of their ex, which makes the separation even more painful. 

This is probably the reason why Ben Affleck, who is divorcing Jennifer Lopez, has taken steps to avoid any mention of her. According to a source interviewed by the Daily Mail, the actor has installed a filter on his phone to block all posts about his ex-wife. 

Ben Affleck “doesn't want to know” what Jennifer Lopez says about him

“Ben doesn't look at the Internet, especially not anything related to his divorce from JLo. He avoids social media and doesn't click on anything related to her.”, the close friend explains. “In fact, he has a filter on his phone so that the browser won't allow anything that contains his name”. 

Eager to keep the behind-the-scenes of his divorce private, Ben Affleck has also made sure not to comment publicly on the matter. “Ben hasn't said a word about her or their split and he doesn't want to know what she says about him”, the source says. On the sidelines of their divorce, the two exes must nevertheless put on a good face to promote their latest film, Unstoppable, co-produced by Ben Affleck and in which Jennifer Lopez plays the title role. 

Ben Affleck: why distancing himself from Jennifer Lopez is complicatedé 

Professionally, Ben Affleck wants to put his differences with Jennifer Lopez aside to ensure the success of the film, in which he considers his ex-wife's performance to be “spectacular”. “He really thinks she's killed it. Ben is an Oscar-winning filmmaker himself, he knows what works, and he's always thought that JLo would be incredible”, the source adds. 

Unstoppable is not the upcoming film that links Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Indeed, the singer will also star in the musical comedy Kiss of the Spider Woman, co-produced once again by – you guessed it – her ex-husband. With so many projects in common, it's not easy to distance yourself…
