Jennifer Lopez recently opened up about her divorce from Ben Affleck during a convo with Nikki Glaser in Interview Magazine, and apparently he had nooooo idea it was coming.

A source tells the Daily Mail that the Gigli actor "didn't get a heads-up" and fears J.Lo will talk about their relationship "forever."

"Ben knows that she will talk about the breakup forever, because she has made albums and documentaries about their two relationships," the insider says. "He would love for her not to talk about it, but he feels she will always speak out. He didn't get a heads-up that she was going to talk about their relationship, but he assumed that it would eventually happen. It is a part of his life just as much as anything else, he's never going to get away from it."

That said, Ben is "okay with however Jen has to deal with it" since "people deal with loss and breakup in their own way, and this is what Jen had to do and Ben has to accept it. He would like to keep some stuff to himself, especially major details about their relationship."

J.Lo didn't name-drop Ben in Interview, but did say "Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself."

The multi-hyphenate also noted that she isn't dating again, saying "I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I fucking do when it’s just me flying on my own—what if I’m just free?"
