Matt Damon warned Ben Affleck before he married Jennifer Lopez, a source has claimed.
The 51-year-old reunited with his former flame Jennifer Lopez and they tied the knot in July 2022. Their first try at a relationship began in 2002 and became engaged, but called it quits by January 2004. The celebrity confirmed she had rekindled their love story a year before they exchanged vows.
Now, a source claims Ben Affleck‘s best bud Matt Damon gave him a stark warning before they said ‘I do’.
It comes after months of speculation the duo are experiencing marriage troubles, which neither party has responded to the rumors publicly.

The couple first sparked fears Bennifer was coming to an end when they were not pictured together for more than a month. Then 51-year-old Ben was seen not wearing his wedding ring and J Lo just took a solo vacation in Italy. Jennifer Lopez also cancelled upcoming shows for her This Is Me… Now Tour, citing she needed to spend time with family.
53-year-old Damon reportedly told the Batman star to ‘focus on his work’ so he didn’t lose sight of his career, a source told the Mail Online.
“Matt tried to warn Ben when he got back together with JLo that this could happen,” they said.
“Matt was there to help Ben get it together after their first split and he felt like this would happen again.”
The best friends have been friends since childhood and rose to fame after writing Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting, which they also starred in. They have continued to work together, including founding a production company called Artists Equity.
“Matt is the only real guy friend Ben has. He would not let him get back on the bottle and has been on him to make sure of this,” the insider added.
Aside from not being at each other’s side, Ben staying at a $100,000-a-month rental instead of the mansion they share together has also sparked fears.
Other reports claimed they’re trying to sell their $60m Beverly Hills abode.
