Affleck acknowledged the difference in fame between himself and his wife, Jennifer Lopez. “People love her, and she really represents something important to people,” Affleck shared with Kevin Hart during the season 4 premiere of his Peacock talk show, Hart to Heart, on Thursday, June 20. “[To me,] people are like, ‘Hey, I like your movie,’ and then they’re like ‘AAAHHHH! J-LO!’, It’s amazing, you know what I mean?”
Affleck shared that since Lopez, 54, is “so famous” her presence brings out the energy of diehard fans wherever she goes. That includes moments when the pair are out with their family. While speaking to Hart, Affleck recalled one encounter he and Lopez had when they took their blended brood to see a play in New York City. (Affleck is the father of three kids: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Lopez, for her part, shares twins Max and Emme, both 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.)
“We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, ‘F–k it, baby, we’re going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.’ She was like, ‘Alright,’ she didn’t say s–t,” he recalled. “Get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s–t was, like, f–king bananas.”
