Ben Affleck, often dubbed Hollywood\u2019s most eligible bachelor, recently shared his thoughts on the playful title\u2014and his taste in women\u2014during a candid encounter in West Hollywood.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old actor was spotted leaving Lavo Ristorante on Thursday, May 8, when a TMZ reporter greeted him in Spanish, calling him \u201cHollywood\u2019s most eligible bachelor.\u201d Affleck responded with a laugh and a confident \u201cMuy bien\u201d (\u201cvery good\u201d), showing off his fluency in Spanish.<\/p>\n
When asked if he still likes dating Latinas, Affleck didn\u2019t hesitate to say, \u201cOf course I do,\u201d again responding in Spanish. The remark echoes his past relationships with two high-profile Latina women: his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez and former girlfriend Ana de Armas.<\/p>\n
Affleck and Lopez\u2019s romance has been one of Hollywood\u2019s most talked-about love stories. They first met in 2002 on the set of Gigli<\/em>, quickly got engaged, but ended their relationship in 2004. In a surprise twist, the pair rekindled their romance in 2021, became engaged again, and tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022. However, their marriage didn\u2019t last, and they filed for divorce in August 2024, which was finalized in January 2025.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with GQ<\/em>, Affleck opened up about the end of their marriage, emphasizing it was free of drama. \u201cThere\u2019s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,\u201d he said. \u201cThe truth is, when you talk to somebody, \u2018Hey, what happened?\u2019 Well, there is no, \u2018This is what happened.\u2019 It\u2019s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.\u201d<\/p>\n Affleck also praised Lopez during the premiere of his latest film, The Accountant 2<\/em>, last month. He described her as \u201cspectacular\u201d and said she has a great relationship with his children. \u201cI adore her,\u201d he added, calling her \u201can enormously important person in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ben Affleck, often dubbed Hollywood\u2019s most eligible bachelor, recently shared his thoughts on the playful title\u2014and his taste in women\u2014during\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":73825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1876],"class_list":["post-73824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-ben-affleck"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73824\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
