Addressing how Lopez loves her life in front of the spotlight and Affleck prefers a more private way of living, the dad-of-three wanted to emphasize how this conflict didn't play a part in their marital demise.

"I think it’s important to say that wasn’t the cause of some major fracture," he said at the time. "It’s not like you can watch that documentary and go, 'Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'"

Entertainment Tonight interviewed Affleck on the red carpet.
