His line that ‘the people you love the most drive you the most crazy’ seems to be targeted at Lopez.

DailyMail.com in the past has reported that their marriage showed strain when she made a documentary with Affleck тιтled The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In the movie, Affleck is visibly strained as he watched Jennifer melt down over her workload from producing the movie This Is Me… Now: A Love Story.

He tells her repeatedly to calm down and get comfortable with the filmmaking process but she is not able to.

Tears roll down her cheeks and she says she feels terrible missing an event they were supposed to attend together.

This comes a week after Ben told Entertainment Tonight he thinks Lopez is ‘spectacular.’

‘For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,’ the star explained.

‘I love her kids. They’re wonderful. She’s an enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.’

And the actor added that he brought her 17-year-old twins Max and Emme to the premiere as well. They were joining the three children he has with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13.

‘It’s a great night. The kids are here, Jen’s kids are here. I’m very, very excited,’ Affleck told the outlet. ‘I’m proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It’s really fun, it’s exciting.’
