Ben Affleck Installed a Filter on His Phone to Block News About Jennifer Lopez, Source Says
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. While Bennifer fans were excited when Lopez and Affleck gave love another chance in 2021, it didn’t last. Now, the exes are proceeding with the divorce as the end of 2024 nears. Here’s what a source said about Affleck installing a filter on his phone to avoid news of his divorce from Lopez.
Ben Affleck allegedly has a filter on his phone to avoid news about his divorce from Jennifer Lopez
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have a lot of love for each other, but their opposite personalities didn’t work in their marriage. Lopez enjoys the spotlight and often posts about her life on social media. On the contrary, Affleck prefers a quiet life away from the media. A source told DailyMail.com that post-split from Lopez, Affleck is doing everything he can to avoid media stories about her or their divorce.
“Ben doesn’t look at the internet — especially anything about his divorce from J.Lo,” the source alleged. “He avoids social media and does not click on anything to do with her. In fact, he has a J.Lo filter on his phone so that the browser doesn’t allow anything that contains her name in it.”
The source added that Affleck hasn’t said “one word” about his split, and “he doesn’t want to know what she is saying about him.”
Affleck and Lopez remain civil as they proceed with their divorce. In mid-December 2024, Affleck, Lopez, and Jennifer Garner attended a school play with Affleck and Garner’s child, Fin, and Lopez’s child, Emme, in it. All three of them looked at ease as they showed the public that any rumors of a feud are untrue. That said, Lopez and Affleck didn’t see each other for Thanksgiving. Affleck spent the day and evening with Garner and their three kids.
Jennifer Lopez commented on moving forward as a single woman
Ben Affleck hasn’t publicly discussed his divorce with Jennifer Lopez. However, Lopez talked to Nikki Glaser about moving forward as a single woman.
“You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete,” Lopez explained to Interview Magazine. “You have to be good on your own. I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.'”
Lopez described the feeling of moving forward on her own as “lonely, unfamiliar, scary,” and “desperate.”
“But when you sit in those feelings and go, ‘These things are not going to kill me,’ it’s like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself,” she continued. “Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself. I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, ‘No, I’m actually good.'”

The insider added that Affleck is “on the hunt for someone grounded and mature. He’s had enough of the Hollywood divas and gold diggers.”
