Affleck, 54, also explained why he wants to stay based in Los Angeles for work, rather than travelling the world.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019m divorced, I have shared custody, and I don\u2019t want to miss these years. My kids are here, and their life is flying by.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to have to be in Shreveport or New Mexico in order to work. I know some people don\u2019t have the luxury of making those choices.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m certainly fortunate, but I know from experience that the best crews in the world are in LA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Affleck recently insisted that striking up romances is not a \u201cbig priority in my life\u201d right now following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, as he is focused on work and being present for his and Garner\u2019s children.<\/p>\n
He told Entertainment Tonight: \u201cI work a lot, and I see my kids, and there\u2019s not a lot of room. I\u2019m not running around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Affleck insists he is in a \u201cgood place\u201d since he and Lopez, 57, finalised their divorce in January 2025 after two years of marriage.<\/p>\n
The Good Will Hunting star added: \u201cI\u2019m good and I\u2019m happy. I know what my priorities are. You can\u2019t have two things that are the most important in your life.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me that\u2019s the kids. So that\u2019s what that is. And then I have my work, which I love. And, you know, I\u2019m where I\u2019m at, and I\u2019m great.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows what adventures life will bring? I\u2019m open to it, but I\u2019m not trying to chase anything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Affleck, 54, also explained why he wants to stay based in Los Angeles for work, rather than travelling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1443,111926,15361,272078,156,86200,1300,111,139,69,520,1517,3048,9840,102,40482],"class_list":["post-624681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-about","tag-affleck","tag-ben","tag-coparenting","tag-entertainment","tag-garner","tag-jennifer","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-relationship","tag-reveals","tag-said","tag-truth","tag-with","tag-wonderful"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
