Ben Affleck paid a compliment to his ex-lover Jennifer Lopez: "Where do you hide your source of youth?"

Ben Affleck paid a compliment to his ex-lover Jennifer Lopez: "Where do you hide your source of youth?"

51-year-old Jennifer Lopez has become the new main character of the American edition of InStyle. To create the material that was included in the new issue, the editors of the magazine attracted many close friends of Lopez and people who left a noticeable mark on her life — they complimented Jen and told her exactly why they loved her.

Among these people was Lopez's former lover-48-year-old actor Ben Affleck, with whom they were engaged from 2002 to 2004. In his address to Jen, he not only praised her for her incredible ability to work and inexhaustible energy, but also noted that she had not changed at all in appearance since the beginning of the noughties, which many fans immediately perceived as flirting.

Where do you hide your fountain of youth? Why do you look exactly the same as you did in 2003, and I look like I'm in my 40s at best?

Affleck asked his ex-lover.

Jen didn't ignore Ben's comment. In her response, she noted that he was funny, and also that he also looked good.

I thought I knew something about work ethic, but I was completely shocked when I saw how she treated her work day in and day out. Calmly and persistently I went to my goal. To this day, she remains the hardest-working person I've ever met in the industry. She has great talent, but she has also worked hard to achieve success, and I am happy that she finally got what she deserves,

- expressed his opinion about Jennifer Behn in the same InStyle article.

Recall that both Lopez and Affleck are now going through a bad period in their personal lives. Jennifer is trying her best to maintain a relationship with her 45-year-old fiance Alex Rodriguez. Ben also broke up with his beloved Anna de Armas at the beginning of the year, but recently the girl herself provoked rumors about their reunion. She posted a photo with a pendant in the form of a half-torn heart around her neck, the other part of which was previously worn by Ben. However, no official confirmation that Ben and Anna are back together has yet been received from the stars themselves.
