Ben Affleck Says Dating Is Not 'Big Priority in My Life' Right Now
The actor said he is focused on work and his children, and denied a report that he was being set up with Shakira.
At the New York premiere of his new film, Animals, 54-year-old actor Ben Affleck told Entertainment Tonight that dating is not a "big priority in my life" right now, as he focuses on work and his three children.
Following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in January 2025 after two years of marriage, Affleck insists he is in a "good place" and "good and happy" as a single man.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, the actor revealed his children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—roast him for his dating history when he attempts to offer relationship advice.
Separately, Affleck dismissed claims from The View host Ana Navarro that she attempted to set him up with Shakira, responding, "I hear s*** like that honestly first from people like you."
Meanwhile, Lopez described herself as being in her "happy era" following the split, stating she has reached a point where she trusts and appreciates herself more than ever before.
