    Ben Affleck’s friend Kevin Smith said the actor will let him know when “he’s in a good place” amid his ongoing marital woes with Jennifer Lopez .

    “Obviously, he’s been going through a thing, or at least that’s what it says in the press and whatnot,” the filmmaker told People at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 Saturday.

    “I, being his least trustworthy friend who’s very loose-lipped … my wife was like, ‘Oh, you should reach out to him,'” he explained.

    “I was like, ‘The last person he needs to hear from right now is the guy who chats a lot,'” Smith, 53, continued.
