Ben Affleck Regrets Jenny From The Block

He is STILL being asked about this? Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck dated so long ago, but reporters are still questioning Ben on that relationship and now here I am blogging about it again :)  For the record, he does wish they hadn't done the Jenny From The Block video.
"If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."

But, Ben insists that dating Jennifer didn't hurt his career, like some people think.
"It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No."

The music video was a big joke. If Jenny was still from the block then she would not be sleeping in $4,000 designer sheets!

I love Ben Affleck. I think his family is adorable, and since the whole JL thing, he has made all of the right decisions.

He's never looked sexier than he did in that video. In the video the two of them are being followed by papparazzi. The only scene I remember is the two of them sunbathing on a boat only to discover paps nearby. It was just corny.

We ALL make dating mistakes! LOL :) Fortunately, he married "girl-next-door", Jennifer Garner :D A happy ending for all.

So, Jennifer Garner, who cheated on her husband with her Alias costar, is a girl next door. Is that because she has dimples?

I still think the whole Bennifer saga was a textbook case showing celebs how NOT to handle a relationship. Ben and J. Lo. publicly pimped out their relationship and milked it for all its worth - then blamed the media when it went south. I do give Ben and Jennifer Garner credit for keeping their relationship mostly "under the radar." If anyone learned from this whole thing, it was him.

She's learned a great deal from the relationship as well. You hardly hear from her either. Maybe that's why their marriages are working.

I'm not Hispanic but a white Canadian. However, when this thing played out and ended on a sour note, I couldn't help but reflect on the subtle racist tendencies of Americans towards Hispanics. Now he regrets having made that video, that's so rude. You dated her, ..... her, wanted to marry her so what if you made a video together?? You wanted no evidence did you? Would embarass you would it? I would personally be offended.

BARB - How is any of this about race? It's kind of obvious he regrets making the video because that entire relationship was about image, and the guy you see today, who is chill and 'regular' was not who he was when he was with J-Lo - she turned him into the male version of her. It must be embarassig to have that on display, and to have fallen for that and agreed to be that on camera with her.

Curious Georgina - Jennifer Garner is considered the 'girl next door' because she doesn't wear high heels and fake lashes mde out of fox when she goes out for milk, doesn't attach other people's hair to hers for 'beauty' and can live without diva requests and attitudes like Lopez. PS - do any of you think J-LO even gets her own milk anyway???

Jennifer Garner is another girl next door type. She's clean, refreshing, a good mom and NOT a Media Whore.

BTW! Jennifer Garner did NOT have an Affair with her Alias co-star and she was Divorced way before B.A came along.

and yes. I do think Jlow hurt Ben's career. He lost his all American image and became a Bronxed out, bling-bling, media whore like jlow.

Glad he came to his senses :)

No red-blooded man could regret that.

I don't even think she's truly happy. But she can't have another scandal. She sucks and was never "real" Big phony b****. I actually know the little girl that was in " Jersey Girl" Her and her family all said Ben was down to earth and took time out for all the cast and crew to "hang with" and she was a complete snot to say the least. Just proves she really is who everyone thinks she is!

#16...I'm not sure I'm getting your connection to the race factor with Ben and Jennifer. Please explain because I am dumbfounded!

I forgot about them, about him. The music video didn't hurt his career. He BARELY had one to begin with. What was there, was nothing. He was actually somewhat attractive then because he dressed a lot nicer and did something to his hair. Now, now he's not even on red carpets. He has no reason for being there anyway.
