Ben Affleck: Regrets relationship with Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck has admitted that he regrets his romance with Jennifer Lopez.

The 36-year-old actor says their relationship span out of control before either of them realised.

‘I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible,’ he tells Live.

‘I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own.’

The couple started dating in 2002 after meeting on set of Gigli, but they broke up shortly before they were due to wed in September 2004.

Ben is now married to Jennifer Garner, 36. They have a 2-year-old daughter Violet.

Jen, 39, has 9-month-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony, 40.

Ben Affleck gives fatherly advice to friend Matt Damon

Ben Affleck has been giving Matt Damon advice on coping with his newborn daughter Gia via text message.

The actor - who starred alongside Matt in 1997 movie 'Good Will Hunting', which the pair also wrote - admits he has been in contact with Matt and has also passed on some of his own tips on caring for children.

Ben, who is expecting his second child with wife Jennifer Garner later this year, said: "I've kind of been texting Matt back and forth, and he's doing great and his wife Luciana is doing great."

Matt - who also has a two-year-old daughter Isabella and a 10-year-old stepdaughter Alexia with Luciana - is also "thrilled" about the new addition to his family, according to Ben.

He added to People magazine: "Anybody who has a child is excited, I think, no matter what the gender is. They are thrilled. The thing that people really want, when you get down to it, is a healthy child."

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck buy 8m house

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have forked out 8million for a bigger house ahead of the birth of their second baby.

The couple, who are yet to officially announce Jen's pregnancy, have bought a 7-bedroom mansion in Brentwood, LA.

The property sits in an acre of land and has a three-car garage, barbeque area, wine cellar and pool.

It is thought the transaction will be complete in time for the arrival of the baby in December.

Last month, Ben's pal, director Kevin Smith, confirmed the couple are expecting.

‘[Ben] came over last week and told me, “I'm having another baby!"’ he told Us Weekly. 'He's a good dad.’

Jennifer, 36, and Ben, 35, are already parents to daughter, Violet, 2.

Their new neighbours include American chat show host Rikki Lake and actor Tobey Maguire.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting their second child, Garner’s former Alias co-star Victor Garber confirms to Usmagazine.com.

But Garber - who officiated the couple’s 2005 wedding - has confirmed the news and says, “Yes she is”.

The source adds, “She and Ben are still deciding whether they’ll ask the sex of the child.”

Matt Damon And Ben Affleck At The 2nd Annual Ante Up For Africa Event

Matt Damon was out last night at the 2nd Annual Ante Up for Africa - No Limit Texas Hold-Em Tournament held at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event helped raise money and awareness for the genocide in Darfur.

He talked to People about his upcoming thriller, The Informant, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which he estimates he gained between 20 and 30 pounds for.

“I think I lost my [Sexiest Man Alive] title.”

“It wasn’t necessarily that I needed to be fat, It was that I needed to be ‘doughy’.”

On how the Oscar-winner pack on the pounds:

“I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted. I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, a lot of beer and basically had a great time … When you’re in your 20s you can do that kind of stuff. When you’re in your 30s, its a whole different ballgame.”

His best bud Ben Affleck was also there and even though the weight-gain for Matt was required for a role, he still teases him:

“Some things are just self-evident and don’t even require making fun of. I mean, the man buys two seats on an airplane!”

Pictured below are Matt Damon, his pregnant wife Luciana Barroso, Ben Affleck and Jason Alexander.

Ben Affleck At LAX

Ben Affleck arrives at LAX on Sunday.

In the last eight months Ben has made three trips to Africa, but his most recent visit, which was filmed for a short documentary that debuted on Thursday’s episode of Nightline, was his most harrowing as he met with refugees who had been driven out of their homes by war lords in the region. He says:

“They’re literally in a living hell and these are teachers, farmers, real, regular people like you and I. People came through shooting guns and kicking doors down and burning houses and raping women and they had to run for their lives.”
