As Jennifer Lopez continues her Up All Night tour across Europe, she’s raised eyebrows with pointed lyrics and racy revelations—but Ben Affleck reportedly isn’t letting any of it rattle him.
During a July 8 performance in Spain, Lopez, 56, appeared to reference a past relationship as she sang about emerging “stronger, wiser, better” while leaving behind the “wreckage.” The performance, along with other recent shows where she hinted at her intimate preferences, has led to speculation that she’s taking subtle shots at her ex-husband.
But according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, Affleck, 52, sees the behavior as “childish” and refuses to be drawn into any public drama.
“If this song or any others bash him, what can he do? It’s out of his control,” the source said. “He’s not going to let it hurt him, and he certainly won’t give it oxygen by responding.”
The insider added that Affleck anticipated this kind of artistic expression. “He’s known Jennifer long enough to know how she channels her emotions through music. He understands it’s part of her process.”
Lopez has stirred further attention with her recent comments during a July 23 show at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy, where she described her shifting moods in intimate situations. “Sometimes I like it hard,” she said to the crowd. “Other days… I like it real slow. But on days like this, when it’s hot outside, I like it real fast.”
Despite the provocative tone of her shows, Affleck has taken a more grounded approach to discussing their split. In a March interview with GQ, he reflected on their divorce, saying, “There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue… Just two people trying to figure out life and relationships like anyone else.”
While Lopez’s new material appears to explore themes of personal empowerment and liberation, those close to Affleck say he’s focused on moving forward privately and without regret.
