Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are engaged! Again! And even though Ben made the rounds and filled in his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three kids about his plan to pop the question beforehand, apparently he didn’t loop in one other important person: his dad. Instead, Ben’s dad said he learned about it like the rest of us common folk—on the internet.
TBH, this isn’t all that surprising since Ben and his dad aren’t necessarily the closest. “I haven’t talked to them in ages,” said Timothy Affleck to The US Sun, “but if everything one reads on the internet is true, they’re having a good time together.” Timothy seems to be OK with where his and Ben’s relationship is though, saying they “haven’t been in touch recently,” but they do “write periodically, so it’s OK.”
Regardless, Timothy is so happy for Ben and 100 percent gives his stamp of approval on J.Lo, because duh, who wouldn’t! “I’m happy about it,” Timothy said after being asked how he feels about the superstar becoming a part of his family.
Timothy first met J.Lo when she and Ben first dated 20 years ago and thinks she’s perfect for his son, reports The Sun. “There’s a lot I admire about her,” he said. “She’s quite a special woman… She’s a hard worker, and I admire that. I think she deserves everything she gets.”
Timothy said he doesn’t know anything about the couple’s wedding plans, especially since they’re keeping it under wraps this time around after the media frenzy essentially ruined their day decades ago. But, he believes “they can handle it more now.”
“I hope so, Ben’s getting up there. He’s pushing 50.” LOL, dad things. FWIW, Timothy also mentioned that he’s “very proud” of Ben. “He’s doing extremely well,” Timothy said. “He’s a hard worker.”
An invite to the nuptials is still TBD, but Timothy mentioned it’d be nice to get one since “it’s always great to see my grandkids and my son,” he said. “It’ll be nice to see Jennifer. I hope it all works out well for them.”
Same, Timothy!!
