Ben Affleck on his divorce: “I have nothing but respect. I guess there’s a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something. But honestly, like I said, the truth is much more quotidian… there’s no scandal, no soap opera.” https://t.co/qnpWefwqqB pic.twitter.com/wXfOxb587j

Ben Affleck has finally addressed his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, sharing a candid perspective on their highly publicized relationship in an April cover story for GQ Magazine. The 52-year-old actor reflected on their 2024 split, dismissing speculation that Lopez’s documentary, “Greatest Love Story Never Told,” played a significant role in their breakup. “It’s not like you can watch that documentary and go, ‘Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had,’” Affleck explained, emphasizing that their separation was a complex, private matter rather than a scandal or dramatic falling-out.
Affleck also acknowledged the contrast between his and Lopez’s approaches to fame, noting that she has always been more comfortable in the spotlight. “My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers,” he admitted. While reflecting on their differences, he reiterated that there is no bad blood between them, expressing deep respect for his former wife. “I hope I was clear that really this is somebody I have a lot of respect for,” he told GQ. “I have nothing but respect.”

Milwaukee Bucks star guard Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right calf, the team announced Tuesday night. Lillard, 34, is taking blood-thinning medication and will be sidelined indefinitely as he undergoes regular testing. The seven-time All-NBA guard has already missed the last three games, and while the team has not provided a timeline for his return, they emphasized that his health remains the top priority. Bucks general manager Jon Horst reassured fans that Lillard’s condition is being carefully monitored and that doctors believe the situation is unlikely to recur.
In a statement to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, Lillard expressed his disappointment about the unexpected health setback but acknowledged the importance of prioritizing his well-being. “As much as I love basketball, I need to be there for my kids and my family,” he said. He also praised the Bucks’ medical staff for their swift response in diagnosing and managing his condition. The team confirmed that his medication has stabilized the thrombosis, and they will continue to assess his recovery on a weekly basis. Lillard is the second high-profile player this season to be sidelined due to DVT, a condition that involves the formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel.
