He then continued to add that if you were not involved in such issues, the magazines would not waste their time taking an actor’s pictures, which was why he was left alone, Damon stated.
Matt Damon shared his views as news pieces reporting sources maintained that Affleck and Lopez’s marriage has been over since March.
While both Affleck and Lopez haven't shared anything from their end related to their split, the two had spent their second wedding anniversary being apart.
