Ben Affleck laughs off most eligible bachelor tag

In the video, Ben was seen interacting with another person for a brief while right outside the Lavo Ristorante hotel. As he came towards his car, a paparazzo came in front and asked him in Spanish how he feels about being Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor again. Ben laughed at the compliment and said, “Muy bien” (Very good). 

Meanwhile, the paparazzo also asked him, “Do you still like Latinas?” Ben replied, “Yes, of course.” For the unversed, Ben's ex-wife Jennifer Lopez is also a Latina. She is of Puerto Rican descent and was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. 

About their relationship

After the split happened, Ben has been quietly reuniting with his first former wife, Jennifer Garner, to co-parent their kids.
