Whoopi Goldberg shares her thoughts on J.Lo-Ben Affleck reunion
Actress Whoopi Goldberg and her “The View” co-hosts share their thoughts on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s reunion amid ongoing divorce. The hot topic of discussion stemmed from the viral photos of the estranged couple kissing and holding hands during a recent family outing at The Beverly Hills Hotel. The hosts try to address speculation about whether J.Lo and Affleck are rekindling their romance or just hoisting a white flag from each side out of consideration for their blended family.
Goldberg contributed to the discussion on J.Lo and Affleck by stating, “It is very difficult, because people like us sit around and we judge it.” She then said, “Maybe we just say, ‘Oh, how nice [that] they’re hanging out together.’ Because the kids hear all of this. People see all of this. And it is very difficult to figure out what’s going on in somebody else’s relationship.”
Whoopi Goldberg further highlighted the complexities that families such as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s face with a divorce. The 68-year-old expressed her assumption that “they went out because [the] kids wanted to go out, and everybody was doing their thing. And if you’re happy with your family, then you’re affectionate with them. It doesn’t mean you’re going home with them again. It just means, you know, I’m not so mad at you that I can’t sit across from you.”
J.Lo filed for divorce from Affleck nearly a month ago in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, two years after they tied the knot. In the filings, the “On the Floor” singer listed the date of separation as April 26.
