To think Jennifer Affleck is stunning

Congrats to Jennifer and Ben Affleck on getting married! They look so happy together. Jennifer Affleck is so stunning for her age, I wonder what her secret is?

On US TV she claims the hair is minoxidil (she does adverts for it)

FavouritePi · 19/07/2022 01:41

It seems like she's always seen Ben as the one that got away after they called off their engagement in 2004 due to 'constant media scrutiny'. I hope it works and lasts.

Work done or not, I agree, she's beautiful.

I love Jennifer Garner. She is well rid of him. However, it must be wounding for him to end up back with JLo. after all this time. It’s such a rejection of their years together.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 19/07/2022 01:45

He’s sexually assaulted women too. Ugh.

My mother looks like a mature JL/A. She gets told something akin to this fairly frequently. She's a fair bit older than Jen, but has beautiful skin herself, and looks way younger than her years.

Although I have lots in common with my mother, I did not inherit the Lopez-Affleck gene Grin

She's had so much work done! Check out the Lorri Hill vid

The irony of that woman, who can barely move her frozen lumpy face or mouth to speak coherently, 'diagnosing' numerous procedures from photos that clearly show massive differences in makeup application and lighting and/or facial expression - even one with a totally barefaced Lopez followed by one with full makeup and strategically placed concealer supposedly 'proving' a blepharoplasty...

Jennifer Lopez looks like a wealthy, well-maintained Latina woman in her early 50s. Being a movie star, with her face blown up on the big screen, I expect she has had the odd tweak or treatment, but she does not look that much different to any number of good looking real life women of her age and skin type who have had nothing whatsoever done.

GarlandsinGreece · 19/07/2022 02:02

She had a fantastic facelift in her early forties. Also had a nose job. And is dedicated to eating right, no alcohol, and working out.

Downunderduchess · 19/07/2022 03:13

I do think she is incredibly beautiful on the outside. I’m sure a combination of good genetics & various treatments are involved. However, I think she might be extremely needy in terms of needing a man in her life. When she finally kicked ARod to the kerb (and quite rightly), it wasn’t too long after that she reconnected with Ben Affleck. It must be confusing for the children. Four husbands and multiple boyfriends/back up dancers etc. It doesn’t look good for this marriage. Time will tell.

Wow, I didn't know that and just had a quick Google Shock His brother (Casey) has had allegations made against him, I thought it was just him.

StClare101 · 19/07/2022 03:35

He is an awful, awful person, and children aside I bet Jennifer Garner considers him the biggest mistake of her life.

Oblomov22 · 19/07/2022 03:43

She looks amazing. But it's a car crash waiting to happen, and both are so emotionally damaged, neither knows what a proper relationship IS. How many times had she been married before? She has incredibly poor taste in men.

Jangle7381 · 19/07/2022 04:14

YANBU. Liked her even more after the Netflix show about her, well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

MarshaMelrose · 19/07/2022 05:09

What I really despise about Ben Affleck is that when he received his oscar for Argo, he thanked the entire world and left off his wife. And then after the divorce when he did an interview and blamed Garner for his alcoholism, he didn't apologise to her but rather he turned it around on everyone else for not taking his comments for how he meant them instead of how he said them. Idiot. And he still didn't apologise to Garner.
He's an odious toad. And Argo didn't deserve an Oscar.
I hope Lopez slices and dices him.

I genuinely don't think she has. Have you seen her without make-up? The nose is certainly the same as it always was - her make-up artist is really good at contouring to make it look narrower. I don't think she's had fillers, either. At most maybe Botox.

Her make-up artist is (or at least used to be) Scott Barnes. His skills are out of this world, truly next level.

Appleblum · 19/07/2022 05:54

She is stunning!

I don't understand the 'it's because she has money' type of comments. She's probably had some work done, yes, but most women still wouldn't be able to look as good as she does even if they had access to the same money/doctors.

LondonWolf · 19/07/2022 05:57

It must be confusing for the children. Four husbands and multiple boyfriends/back up dancers etc. It doesn’t look good for this marriage. Time will tell.

Why do people keep saying this? The children were with her third husband, Marc Anthony - which ended 8 years ago. They're 14. No children before that. Then she was with Alex Rodriguez for 4 years but he cheated on her, so not "multiple" new step dads/boyfriends/back up dancers and blended families to deal with.

I find it really fucking depressing that a stunning, intelligent, funny, fit woman like J-Lo apparently can't hope for anything more than an alcoholic, cheating loser who blamed his ex-wife for all his problems.

I agree. It's not a great role model for women, is it? Same with Jennifer Garner.

He's always been more interested in hanging out with his 'buddies' than having a mature relationship with his wife (I'm not saying people shouldn't have social lives outside marriage but his behaviour was reportedly way beyond that).

I hope rehab has changed him but I doubt it, given that he didn't take personal responsibility for his past behaviour.

mistermagpie · 19/07/2022 06:30

I think she looks amazing. I can't speak to the work she has (probably) had done, but even when you compare her to women of a similar age who are loaded and famous and who have had work done (the friends women for example), she looks better and more natural. So it's either really really really good work or mostly genetic anyway. She certainly doesn't have that frozen puffy look that Courtney Cox has, thats for sure. She mainly just looks like she looked when she was younger.

As for her relationship, I don't know what she's thinking. If it's for publicity I could almost understand it because there is literally nothing attractive about BA and I can't u detains why any sane woman would want to marry him. Jennifer Garner seems absolutely lovely, beautiful and down to earth and he treated her like shit.

TinaTubster · 19/07/2022 06:37

OH wow! She changed her name! Classy! You don’t often see that in Hollywood. I wonder what her branding will be now? JFleck? Could be cool

Where have you seen fur being obtained in a humane way?

The same place I have seen animals slaughtered in a 'humane manner' Nowhere.

EV117 · 19/07/2022 08:16

They do it all the time. That doesn’t mean they change their working stage name to suit. You know a lot of singers and actors don’t actually go by their real names?

Nopers8 · 19/07/2022 08:25

It’s Photoshop.

Manaslave18 · 19/07/2022 00:31

She’s had a ton of work. She looks nothing like she did pre-fame and nothing like her mum, sister and daughter who all look alike.

She looks a lot like her dad. I think she looks very much as she did pre-fame when she's not wearing make-up. She's lost a lot of volume in her cheeks, like many people do. That's changed her face shape.

Mercurial123 · 19/07/2022 10:24

It's her skincare line keeping her young or so she claims. People were calling her a liar and she insists it's the olive oil in the ingredients and not surgery/fillers/botox etc.

Icanstillrecallourlastsummer · 19/07/2022 10:28

She's very beautiful and has aged remarkably well - even if assisted. That is undeniable, regardless of what you otherwise think of her and her choice of men.
