Ben Affleck has made a comment about wife Jennifer Lopez as rumours continue to circulate that the pair may be splitting.

The star of Gone Girl and the DC cinematic universe spoke about Lopez in a newly-released interview with Kevin Hart for his show, Hart to Heart.

In the interview, Affleck sports a full beard, showing it was filmed before March when he shaved off the beard for filming of The Accountant 2.

This was before rumors began circulating that Affleck's marriage to Lopez - which happened in 2022 after they rekindled their romance - was potentially on the rocks, with many even speculating that the pair might be heading for divorce.

In the clip, Affleck opens up about just how famous Lopez is and the different reactions that people have when they see them.

He said: "We went somewhere with [Jennifer]—I can't remember because she's so famous, and she creates this—people love her, and she really represents something important to people.

"[For 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 went on to recall one occasion when he and Lopez walked through Times Square in New York together.

The actor described how fans and tourists had gone 'bananas' when they spotted the pair - but Lopez in particular.

He said: "I think it was when we rolled through Times Square. We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, 'f*ck it, babe, we're going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.

"[Lopez] was like, 'alright' she didn't say sh*t."

Affleck recounted what happened afterwards, saying: "We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s**t was like f**kin' bananas.

"I was like, 'Oh my God'. There was a lady, she was smoking weed, in a full purple skintight suit—she's a heavy lady—and she starts running backwards filming, going '-LO!!'

The journey ended up being more than a little chaotic.

Affleck went on to open up about his thoughts on being publicly photographed and why people assume he's 'grumpy'.

He said: "I'm also a little bit shy. I don't like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they're like, 'Why is this dude always mad?'

"Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I'm like, 'OK, here we go.'"
