Los Angeles, California - Jennifer Lopez routinely gabs about her messy breakup with Ben Affleck in interviews, but the Gone Girl actor has only just started talking about it publicly. Here's why!

Ben recently mentioned the split in his cover interview with GQ, and now, an insider claims to have more context on this explosive move.

"He is so over this divorce and the narrative that he was grumpy and that Jen was a victim," a source told The Daily Mail after the GQ interview dropped.

"It has been a year since he left, and he is hoping that speaking up will stop the constant questions," they added.

Elon Musk Elon Musk says he's almost "done" with DOGE: "It's going to be a fantastic future!"

Apparently, the Good Will Hunting writer got some much-needed closure from the interview and is now ready to focus on his real priorities – his career and his family.

"Ben had never planned to address their divorce because it is a private matter, and he respects Jen," the insider spilled.

"But after she spoke about him to Interview magazine he decided it was time to say what he had to say in the nicest way possible."
