During this interview on Tuesday, December 14, Ben Affleck shared with Howard Stern on 'The Howard Stern Show' about the challenges he faced in his journey to stay sober and the reasons behind these struggles. The star said, "Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped. I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was drank a bottle of Scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution." He agreed that he was wrong to think that alcohol would be the solution. Many thought Affleck's take on his ex and children showed his reckless and cavalier attitude.
It was reported that when Jennifer Lopez heard what he said, she was not very pleased. A source reportedly told Page Six, "[Lopez] is pissed. She is getting pulled into this because she is dating him. She doesn't want to be dragged into this." Lopez has met with Ben's ex wife Jennifer Garner a few times and even expressed her desire to get to know Ben's kids. This signals that she is looking at a blended family scenario with cordial relations all around. But Affleck's words may have soured the possibility of shared vacations and family time in the future.
