Actor Ben Affleck has addressed his personal life approximately two years after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized in January 2025. Speaking at the premiere of his new film, “Animals”, the 54-year-old stated that romantic relationships are not currently a major priority.

Affleck explained that his time is primarily occupied by work and spending time with his children. While he noted he is open to a relationship in the future, he clarified that he is not actively seeking a partner, stating, “I am open to it, but I am not trying to pursue something.”

During the interview, Affleck also addressed rumors regarding a potential introduction to singer Shakira, a claim made by Ana Navarro of “The View”, noting he had not heard the story before.
