After starring in one of the most controversial relationships in showbiz with Jennifer Lopez and even more so their costly split, American actor Ben Affleck is desperately trying to recoup the money he lost after his failed relationship and is trying to get several projects off the ground with his production company, which he co-owns with his friend Matt Damon.
It seems that the “Batman” star is willing to leave behind his failed marriage to JLo, which lasted around two years, and is trying to find a way out in his film projects with the aim of recovering financial resources
Affleck speeds up projects at his production company
One example is that the 52-year-old actor is working on a project with Matt Damon at his new studio Artists Equity, according to reports from Radar Online
A source close to the actor commented that during his relationship with the Bronx diva, Affleck “was living large,” and that she has a much more expensive lifestyle
“She spends at a different level,” the source noted, suggesting that Ben had to get used to some pretty high luxuries during the time the relationship lasted.
Up to five films a year
Now that chapter is behind him, Ben is going all-in on his new project. Artists Equity is a studio he and Matt Damon created with the idea of producing several films a year
In fact, according to the same sources, they are planning to make up to five films a year
“It has to be a vehicle to generate real wealth for him in the coming years, or he will be in trouble,” the source said.
The actor is reportedly wasting no time and is already preparing his second film for the studio, “RIP”, which will follow the 2023 hit “Air”, where he also worked alongside Damon
There is no doubt that Affleck is taking the reins of his career with new projects that could change his life in the coming years.
Ben Affleck and JLo resumed their relationship in May 2021, after splitting in 2004, and married in July 2022.
However, their married life did not last as long as expected, and by the end of February 2025 their marriage was officially annulled.
