Despite media reports suggesting that Jennifer Lopez took offence at Ben Affleck`s comments related to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, the singer-songwriter has clarified that the rumours are utterly off-base. Talking to People magazine, Lopez said that "This story is simply not true. It is not how I feel." 

"I couldn`t have more respect for Ben as a father, a co-parent, and a person," she added about Affleck with whom she rekindled a romantic relationship earlier this year. For his part, Affleck, who shares daughters Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel with Garner, also took issue with the narrow focus of coverage of his comments on the `Howard Stern Show`.
