Ben Affleck Says Jennifer Lopez Looks 20 Years Old Because She’s ‘Superhuman’
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attend Amazon Studios' World Premiere Of "AIR" at Regency Village Theatre on March 27, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
Jennifer Lopez has looked youthful and lean for decades. Her husband, Ben Affleck, recently revealed some upsetting news that “Jenny from the Block” can “appear to be 20 years old” without having to diet. In an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, the Air director told the host he’s going to share “something that’s going to upset you” after she asks whether they have a “cheat drawer” of snacks in their home.
Seemingly in awe over Lopez’s physique at 53, Affleck declares, “Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. Pizza, cookies, ice cream. Everything.” In visible shock, Drew Barrymore asks, “Is it the working out?”
J-Lo’s Secret To Youth
Affleck, 50, let Drew know that even though she works out, it doesn’t explain her youthfulness. “I mean, I work out, too! But I don’t magically appear to be 20 years old! You know what I mean? With perfect skin. There’s no taking away the work ethic. The work ethic is real, the discipline is very real. But also, the superhuman thing is real. She’s the most gorgeous woman in the world. She looks spectacular.”
As Barrymore, 48, sunk into her seat from swooning, she tells Ben, “This is me living vicariously through romance and men appreciating women and all of it.”
On Twitter, fans swooned with Drew of Ben’s love for J-Lo. One fan wrote, “He is just in LOVE and I’m here for it.” Another said, “He called her the most gorgeous woman in the world.” One person commented, “Love me a man who loves his wife this much.” Another praised Ben, writing, “Ben hyping his wifey! We love to hear it.” Another fan said, “Ain’t love Grand.”
As we recently reported, Ben is his wife’s biggest supporter. Earlier this month, he called J-Lo “the greatest performer in the history of the world.” In the face of his wife’s “many, many accomplishments,” Affleck said it “takes a big man not to feel inadequate.” He added, “I don’t feel bad about myself.”
Celebrities and Fans React To Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Marriage
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married over the weekend in Las Vegas after previously being engaged 20 years ago before calling it quits.
Writing to her On The JLo newsletter, Lopez, 52, said, “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”
She continued to say that their elopement was “exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” adding that they only wished “for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”
The Hollywood “It” couple kept their attire simple, with J-Lo wearing “a dress from an old movie” and Ben wearing “a jacket from Ben’s closet.” Lopez said it was the “best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.”
Lopez said of their relationship, “When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love.’ We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at twelve-thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.”
The singer and actress signed the newsletter, “With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”
News of the nuptials traveled fast, with celebrities and fans alike wishing the couple congratulations. Vanessa Hudgens told E! News of her Second Act co-star, “I was literally scrolling through Instagram and I saw that and I gasped.”
On Instagram, Vanessa Bryant wished Lopez congratulations, while Hoda Kotb wrote, “Love is patient and right on time. Congrats my darling.”
Fans congratulated the couple on getting hitched, while others sought this opportunity to troll the “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” singer, who has famously been married several times and in many relationships. See their reactions below:
