Overview
- Affleck described a week-on/week-off custody routine with ex Jennifer Garner that he says he does not want to miss, explaining that his children spend one week with him and the next with their mother.
- He told Variety on Wednesday that this custody pattern is the main reason he prefers to take jobs based in Los Angeles rather than projects that require filming in places like Shreveport or New Mexico.
- Affleck praised Jennifer Lopez for her work and said awards do not always match his taste, and he retains a professional link to Lopez as a credited producer on her film Kiss of the Spider Woman.
- He told Entertainment Tonight that dating is not a big priority right now and described his personal life as low‑key and focused on family and steady work.
- Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity efforts, including a new independent pictures fund, align with his aim to keep production activity in Los Angeles so he can balance filmmaking with parenting duties.
