Ben Affleck is single, and he’s not in any rush to change that. At the New York premiere of his new film“Animals,”he told Entertainment Tonight that dating simply isn’t a priority right now, two years after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized. His three children and his work come first, and he described himself as“good and happy.”He also said he’s open to whatever life brings, he’s just not chasing it.
He also addressed a rumor straight out of“The View.”Ana Navarro claimed she once tried to set him up with Shakira. Ben’s response was calm and simple: people gossip, and he doesn’t get set up. No drama, no follow-up, just a polite shutdown that says more about his headspace than any headline could.
The line that’s really resonating, though, is this one:“You can’t have two things that are the most important in your life.”Whether you’re a celebrity or just juggling work, family, and a social life, that one hits. It’s a reminder that priorities aren’t a constraint, they’re a choice. So, what would you pick if you had to choose your number one right now?
