Ben Affleck, who has been busy promoting his new film "The Way Back," spoke candidly about his relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner in an interview with The New York Times (opens in new tab). He called their divorce "the biggest regret of my life" (opens in new tab) and said, "Shame is really harmful. There are no positive byproducts of shame. It just boils down to a toxic, ugly feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing."

Now, Affleck apparently opened up about one of his other famous exes in the interview, but that quote did not make it into the final article. Profile writer Brooks Barnes recently tweeted several quotes that did not make it into the article, including Affleck's thoughts on his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez. She should have been nominated. She is the real deal. I keep in touch with her regularly, I respect her, and how wonderful to be blessed with your biggest hit at age 50.

Oh, by the way, Ben and J.Lo started dating in 2002 while filming a movie, got engaged, and split in 2004.

And for those who are curious about other information not included in the profile, there were details about Affleck and Garner's relationship. Affleck also said:

To Jennifer Garner, first and foremost, I have to say "thank you," both publicly and privately. I want to make it clear how much I respect Jennifer Garner and how much I appreciate her co-parenting with me.

In conclusion, Ben seems to have a good relationship with two former girlfriends named Jennifer!
