TWICE-divorced Ben Affleck has revealed the brutal response he gets from his children when he tries to give them relationship advice.
The actor, who was previously married to Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez, revealed his kids are quick to put him in his place when he weighs in on their friends’ love lives.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ben, 54, recalled trying to offer his opinion during a conversation at the dinner table.
He said: “I said, ‘Well, the thing about that relationship there with that person is…’ and the 17-year-old just turns to me and goes, ‘Oh, like you’re the expert on relationships?’”
Ben added: “I give advice and try to talk to them, parent them as you do. What I found is that now it’s not only one teenager rolling their eyes.
“I’ll kind of launch into something at the dinner table and I’ll catch them giving each other looks and I realise I’m the caricature in this story.”
Ben shares Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The pair married in 2005 and divorced in 2018.
Ben later married Jennifer Lopez, 57, in 2022, almost two decades after they called off their first engagement.
Their marriage ended in 2024.
Last year, Ben told GQ he had “nothing but respect” for JLo and described the breakup as having “no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue”.
He said there was no single dramatic event behind it, but stopped short of sharing the private details.
Meanwhile, the actor remains close to Jennifer Garner and had hoped to cast her as his on-screen wife in his new film Animals.
He told Entertainment Weekly: “I thought, God, Jen Garner would be amazing for this role.”
Jennifer ultimately did not take the role, which went to Kerry Washington.
However, he added: “I would love to work with her, frankly. She’s fabulous, and we’re really good friends, and I’m profoundly grateful to her, and we have a great thing.
“I still would wanna work with her in the future, but what you don’t wanna do is take the audience’s baggage and have it work against you, you know?”
