I&#8217;m not running around,&#8221; he told Entertainment Tonight. &#8220;It&#8217;s just not a big priority in my life,&#8221; adding that he is &#8220;good and happy&#8221; as a single man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I know what my priorities are. You can&#8217;t have two things that are the most important in your life,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;For me, that&#8217;s the kids. So that&#8217;s what that is. And then I have my work, which I love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Gone Girl star added, &#8220;I&#8217;m where I&#8217;m at, and I&#8217;m great, and who knows what adventures life will bring. I&#8217;m open to it, but I&#8217;m not trying to chase anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Affleck was also asked about Ana Navarro&#8217;s claims on The View last week that she had tried to set him up with singer Shakira.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I hear s**t like that, honestly, first from people like you,&#8221; Affleck retorted. &#8220;I never heard that in my whole life. People gossip. Stuff gets made up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Argo director shares Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In 2022, Affleck married Lopez but the duo split within two years. Their divorce was finalised by January 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Affleck&#8217;s other famous exes include Gwyneth Paltrow and Ana de Armas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Affleck has revealed that he&#8217;s not focused on dating, two years after his split from ex-wife Jennifer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-635714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
