It's been 10 years since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck dated. While most of us can't imagine ever having to speak about an ex-boyfriend from what seemed like another lifetime, the actress and singer has been fielding questions left and right about their past romance. Given his marital status, she should have probably reserved her latest comments about Ben's full-frontal penis shotfrom Gone Girl for a girls-only brunch.
J-Lo appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week, where she gossiped about her old boyfriends and sex life. Naturally, talk turned to Ben—despite the fact that he is married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children.
When asked whether she had seen Ben's penis in Gone Girl, the single mom of 6-year-old twins responded, "Nothing I haven't seen before" and then laughed it off.
So, here's the thing. If Jennifer was married or in a steady relationship AND had remained friends with Ben and his wife, a comment like this one would probably be no big deal. Both Jen's could laugh and bond over how familiar they are with Ben's anatomy (that's assuming Garner is extremely cool and collected about the whole thing).
But this isn't the case. Jennifer is single and hot and talking about another woman's husband's penis. It doesn't help that her quip comes on the heels of other comments she has made about how Ben broke her heart and was her first real heartbreak.
I'm not sure Garner appreciates having their old romance make headlines again. Plus, their daughter Violet is now 9, which is certainly old enough to read about her dad on websites. Does she really need to come across a quote by J-Lo that reassures Americans she is familiar with her dad's penis?
I mean, most of us assumed they were having sex between the years 2002 and 2004. This isn't breaking news, Jen.
More from The Stir: Ben Affleck Responds to Rude Question About Jennifer Lopez's Butt
If J-Lo was unsure how to handle the question about Ben's anatomy, she could have taken a page from his book. While Ben was playing blackjack in Las Vegas last year, he was rudely asked by another player if Jennifer's butt was "nice" or whether it had "cellulite" on it. His answer, after a silent pause was, "It was nice." That's it. No need to utter another word.
Now, can everyone stop focusing on Bennifer? Bennifer has long left the building. They are never, ever getting back together.
What do you think about Jennifer's response?
