Jennifer Lopez’s sweet reply to Ben Affleck’s 'Unstoppable' compliment shows they’re still a team!

Despite ongoing divorce rumours, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck seem to be maintaining an amicable relationship.

While promoting ‘Small Things Like These’, a project he produced, Affleck also spoke about another film, ‘Unstoppable’, which features Lopez alongside Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, and Bobby Cannavale.

Affleck described Unstoppable as ‘very different’ from Small Things Like These, but noted that both films are deeply rooted in the passion of talented artists.

‘Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome], and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film,’ Affleck told Entertainment Tonight.

He also had glowing praise for Lopez’s performance, calling her ‘spectacular.’

‘We believed in the right people, and Unstoppable is another example of that,’ he said, showcasing his admiration for his ex-wife's talent and dedication to the project.

Lopez, for her part, returned the compliment when asked about the film.

In an interview at the Unstoppable U.K. premiere on November 5, she praised the entire cast and crew, calling everyone involved ‘spectacular and wonderful.’ This mutual respect between the two is a testament to their continued professional camaraderie, even after their separation.
