What once seemed like a fairy-tale romance quickly crumbled in 2024 when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, reconnecting after two decades, called it quits and ended their marriage in a divorce. Since the split, rumors have been swirling about a possible romance between Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner, fueling plenty of gossip.
However, it seems Ben Affleck may have had an eerie sense that this rumored romance was on the horizon long before anyone else. Here’s the backstory of how he might have predicted it all!
Ben Affleck was “disturbed” by Jennifer Lopez’s Yellowstone obsession!
Jennifer Lopez couldn’t get enough of Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone! In March 2023, Ben Affleck opened up about Lopez’s intense obsession with the hit series during an appearance on The Ben Simmons Podcast. Affleck admitted he was “disturbed” by just how engrossed Lopez had become in the show, noting that she was practically glued to it.
While Kevin Costner was the big name in the series, it turns out Lopez’s fascination wasn’t with him in the show but with the romance between Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton. Affleck revealed,
I’m kind of disturbed by the fact that my wife really likes Yellowstone.
But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t a fan of Kevin Costner, after all, she was also a big admirer of Horizon: American Saga. Fans have since gone back to Affleck’s comment, wondering if he had already picked up on her growing admiration for Costner long before the rumors of their rumored romance began circulating. Could Affleck have seen it coming all along?
