One of the most beautiful and popular couples in Hollywood is in divorce proceedings. Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben on August 20, the day of her second wedding anniversary. Kevin in 2022 was among the guests to a luxurious celebration that the couple hosted at Affleck’s ranch in Georgia. Then he published a photo of himself in an impeccable suit. “For those who say that I am always dressed in the same thing. I’m sharp. I haven’t dressed like that officially, probably, since my first communion, when I was 7 years old,” Smith noted ironically.
The ceremony, according to the artist, was so touching, and the youngsters looked so happy and in love, that he could not cope with his emotions. “I’m a crybaby. I cry all the time. I cry watching episodes of The Flash, I cry watching Degrassi. But for heaven’s sake, it was an extremely emotional wedding, I was crying all night long because it was so damn beautiful. So beautiful,” Kevin said.
The owner of the film company View Askew Productions had a hand in Ben’s popularity. From 1995 to 2006, Kevin cast the aspiring actor in six of his films, including Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob, and Dogma. In some films, he also involved Ben’s closest friend Mat Damon. In 2004, Kevin shot the melodrama Jersey Girl, in which he played not only Affleck, but also Jennifer Lopez. For a while, Kevin and Ben parted ways because of a quarrel, but after many years they reconciled. According to Smith, he took the news of Bennifer’s breakup as a personal tragedy.
“I’m heartbroken over their divorce. Ben is one of my favorite people on the planet. I’ve always adored him. Jennifer is also so beautiful. And the fact that they don’t go on in life together breaks my heart,” Kevin said.
The actor and creator of the Clerks saga is very worried about his friend. However, he spoke ironically about some of his character traits, explaining why he did not try to intervene in the situation. “It’s clear that Ben is going through a tough ordeal, at least according to what the press is to believe. My wife said I should call Ben, but I’m actually the least reliable friend for him right now because I’m too talkative. The last person he needs to hear something from right now is a guy who talks a lot. Therefore, when he is in a good mood, he will let me know, “quotes Daily Mail creator of its own cinematic universe View Askewniverse.
According to the actor and director, he and Affleck will have a lot of time for heartfelt conversations in the fall, when Smith begins filming the next part of the comedy “Jay and Silent Bob.”
