According to celebrity news on IMDB, Ben Affleck confessed that he regrets his past relationship with Jennifer Lopez. He simply states that it was “bad for his movie career”.
Affleck is adamant he should never have got involved in the first place – because the publicity surrounding their romance tainted his career.
He says, “I was no longer in control of my life. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn’t. I got lost. I felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I should never have gone down that route or got sucked in to all the publicity.
“I was typecast as myself. Too many people weren’t getting past what they read about me. That was damaging. I can tell from experience it’s bad for you, and bad for your career. So I took a break, went away for a while and let things calm down.”

Ben and Violet Affleck
He concluded his statement by saying that he’s a lot happier with Jennifer Garner (the Other Jennifer) and his two young daughters, Violet and Seraphina, and that family life has definitely changed him and made him a better man. From the picture above with him holding cute little Violet, I would have to agree with him, he looks like a happier man. Fatherhood looks good on you, Ben.
I’m sure Jennifer is completely happy for him and his family, as she too has happily moved on being busy with her own family - her adorable twins, Emme and Max, and hubby Marc Anthony. But, I’m sure she wasn’t happy to hear her ex- fiancé make a public announcement saying that he regrets his relationship with her. Ouch, Ben!

Stop the press please….. Did ben affleck really say what i think he said … let get the facts straight he so happy ( yeah right) he misberable on the inside because he knows jennifer Lpoez was his only shot of happiness … what is a jennifer gardner she like a mix between homely and homeless her style is bad and she can only get kids roles same goes for the onetime daredevil he regrets his relationship with jennifer Lopez he should regret going back to that pathetic excuse of a wife jennifer gardner , Ben is a coward blaming his career going down on jennifer lopez, his career went down because the * people* knew he was at his best with jennifer and tryed their best to bring her down, let me get things straight there is a BIG difference between jennifer lopez and jennifer gardner, and everybody know that. if ben is oh-so happy then why does every time the papizarri takes a picture of him and jen he doesn’t look happy so he can cut the crap about the regrets if jennifer lopez was such a regret he should have stayed with gwen. Ben took his self out the lime-light because he knew he did jennifer lopez wrong he got big -headed with her going to party with strippers and having those boys night out yeah look what happen to those boys night out and matt dillion seems to be happy cause he sure has not been out with ben since he married the ugly duckling. but it funny because Carma is such a B***** JENNIFER LOPZ is happy with her life and her twins and as for ben he says he happy but he a lie and the eyes reveal it all personally i think he needs to tell eletrca wanna be to kick rocks. Because lets face it the only reason ben and jen didn’t last was because of how ignorant some white people can be that were the drama came from people saying oh they can be together why not! why can’t a hispanic women date and marry a white man it seems so stupid at how holly wood can be but the first time he *Knock up Homeless* and i know he regretted it he just didn’t have a choice everybody says their the perfect couple yeah right.. Ben needs to stay off of jennifer Lopez and stay on trying to help out that homely wife of his. Ben is not Brad Pitt there a difference their two … Ben and j-lo were actually the first brad and angie power couple but Ben doesn’t know how to Man -up . But i guess everything happens for a reason Jennifer Lopez Is happy while ben looks a rugged fool .. news flash shave off the goatee you already got the ugly wife you don’t need more attention drown to you.
Ouch Ben!! That’s pretty low. You shouldn’t blame someone else for your crappy career moves. No one told you to kiss Jlo’s ass in her music video. But, hey, we all make mistakes, you just gotta take responsibility for your own actions. And it’s probably not best to air out your dirty laundry in public either. Think you’ve got some growing up to do Benjamin
