J.Lo was incredibly flattered by her ex-partner’s words. “Ben is funny! He still looks pretty good too,” she said about her ex-boyfriend, with whom she worked on” Gigli “(2003) and” Jersey Girl “(2004). However, beyond her beauty, the actor was also incredibly praiseworthy for his ex’s approach and dedication to herwork.

“She remains, to this day, the hardest-working person I have come across in this business. She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I am so happy for her that it seems, at last, to be receiving the credit she deserves,” wrote the actor for the publication that has J.Lo in the cover page.

“I thought she had a good work ethic, but I was completely honored and in awe of what she was committed to doing day after day,” added the American filmmaker, who is recently separated from Cuban actress Ana de Armas, 32.
