Why Ben Affleck Was Not at the 2024 Met Gala With Jennifer Lopez

While she and Affleck don’t always attend events like these together, when they do…all eyes are on them. 

So he may have wished he’d been wearing a mask at the 2023 Grammys, when a few photos taken during the ceremony gave off the impression to some people that he wasn’t having the best time ever. Asked about it later, the actor noted that he was, in fact, at his “wife’s work event.”

But, Affleck clarified to The Hollywood Reporter, “I had a good time at the Grammys. My wife was going, and I thought, ‘Well, there’ll be good music. It might be fun.’ At movie award shows, it’s speeches and, like, sound-mixing webinars. But I thought this would be fun.”

However, he not only missed his chance to be meme fodder alongside his wife tonight, he missed a meet-up with buddy Matt Damon, who was in attendance with wife Luciana Barroso. (As well as notably missing from The Greatest Roast of All Time for his favorite QB.)
