Jason Mewes, a close friend of Ben Affleck, isn't buying into the speculation about Affleck's marriage to Jennifer Lopez falling apart. Based on what he's seen, he doubts the rumors are true.
We caught up with Jason in L.A. on Wednesday, and he shared that after witnessing the couple's genuine affection at their wedding less than two years ago, he would be shocked if there was any truth to the breakup rumors.
Jason voiced his frustration over people jumping to conclusions about a split, suggesting there’s likely a more practical explanation for Ben moving out of their home—probably related to work. He speculated that Ben might need some peace and quiet to focus on his new movie, away from the hustle and bustle of family life, or perhaps J.Lo isn't thrilled with Ben's film collaborators coming and going at their home.
While Jason admits he hasn't been in close contact with Ben since their wedding in 2022, he emphasizes that he's just offering possibilities, not facts.
Currently, Ben is renting a place in Brentwood, while Jennifer remains in their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion. The situation has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with Ben seen without his wedding band one day and wearing it the next. They even added to the confusion by stepping out for a family outing, only for Jennifer to attend the premiere of her new movie "Atlas" solo the next day.
Despite the separate living arrangements and mixed signals, Jason remains confident in their relationship, maintaining faith in their enduring love story.

After an unprecedented perfect rookie season in Pro Motocross, Jett Lawrence aims to extend his winning streak at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. This track has been a stronghold for him, never finishing worse than second, and sweeping all 22 motos last year.
Jett’s dominance began in 2020 with a 1-2 finish and continued with wins in subsequent Nationals, including a 1-2 finish in September 2022. Last year, he outperformed in the first moto and held off a challenge from Honda teammate Chase Sexton in the second. He enters this weekend on a six-race National win streak.
Clinching the 450 Supercross title in Salt Lake City cemented Jett’s status as one of the best rookies in the SuperMotocross series. Over the past year, he has won every major event, including his first Motocross at Fox Raceway last year and at Angel Stadium in Anaheim this year.
Despite a stumble at the SuperMotocross season opener at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, Jett rebounded by winning at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, and securing his first SMX win at the Los Angeles Coliseum. He now holds the 450 title.
While Jeremy McGrath slightly outperformed Jett in rookie stats, with 10 wins to Jett’s eight and more podiums and top-fives, the competition in 2024 was tougher. Jett faced four previous champions—Tomac, Cooper Webb, Sexton, and Jason Anderson—compared to McGrath’s one.
Hunter Lawrence, Jett's brother, continued the family's success in the 250 division at Fox Raceway, finishing 3-1 and securing their sixth consecutive 250 National win.
Chase Sexton is also a strong contender, with a three-race podium streak at Fox Raceway, including a second-place finish behind Jett last year. Eli Tomac, with two wins in his last three attempts, is another key competitor.
Although Jett was the first freshman to go undefeated, he wasn’t the first rookie to win the Motocross title. Dylan Ferrandis did so in 2021, winning half of his 12 starts. With the Lawrence brothers now out of the 250 division, the spotlight shifts to Haiden Deegan, RJ Hampshire, Tom Vialle, and Levi Kitchen, who all showed strong performances last year.
