Speaking with The U.S. Sun, Ben Affleck’s father, Timothy Affleck frankly revealed that he had “no idea” his son’s engagement to Jennifer Lopez had happened until he read about it in the papers. “I haven’t talked to them in ages,” he told the outlet, “but if everything one reads on the internet is true, they’re having a good time together.” When asked by the outlet how he feels about the betrothal, he exclaimed, “That’s fine by me! I’m happy about it.”
“I don’t know anything about wedding plans or anything like that. But I don’t imagine there will be a repeat of the last wedding arrangements,” Timothy continued. His lack of insider info about his own son is down to a lack of constant communication, he said, noting, “I haven’t been in touch [with Ben] recently, but we write periodically, so it’s okay. I saw my grandkids a few months back.” He also mentioned how busy his Oscar-winning son has been lately with all of his projects. “He’s been working a lot, which no one seems to care about. They care about romance.”
The romance in question has been low-key adorable, with the “Jenny from the Block” singer revealing in her newsletter that the “Argo” director popped the question while she was taking a bubble bath, per Mirror. “It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined,” she wrote. Yes, Timothy, we are living for this romance!
