Jennifer Lopez debuts her romance with British actor Brett Goldstein

The spotlight has shifted from Jennifer Lopez to her ex, Ben Affleck. The 52-year-old actor has finally broken his silence following their high-profile divorce, and he did so with a statement that puts "Bennifer" back in the spotlight:

“I wish you luck… because dating JLo is no small feat.”

The statement, allegedly leaked to RadarOnline by someone close to the actor, comes just as Lopez has begun a new relationship with Briton Brett Goldstein (41), known for his role in the romantic comedy Office Romance. Although the new romance looks idyllic, Affleck issues a resounding warning: “ Brett seems like a nice guy… but he’s about to be devoured by Hurricane JLo .”


Known for her perfectionism and unstoppable energy, López imposes a pace that not everyone can follow:

"Jennifer is demanding, has impossible standards, and a lifestyle that not everyone can handle. I couldn't, and I consider myself pretty well-adjusted.

Ben Affleck speaks like someone who has survived the shocking whirlwind of media love that was his relationship with JLo: reunions in 2021, a civil wedding in Las Vegas and a second ceremony in 2022, only to officially end up divorced in August 2024, right on their second wedding anniversary.

Since their separation, Affleck has regained his privacy: he's focused on his professional projects, his role as a father, and, according to various sources, he's already tentatively resumed his romantic life. His recent comment about JLo's romance with Goldstein isn't a blessing, but rather a warning: what seems like a fairy tale could turn into a storm.


Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, 55, radiates optimism and strength after the breakup. She has declared herself a case of self-discovery: " Being in a relationship doesn't define me," and feels "more radiant than ever." Affleck's experience allows her to evaluate her romantic successor with the knowledge of someone who is at the helm of an unstoppable machine. "I wish him luck," yes, but with a warning.
