Speaking to Access Hollywood, Lopez said she was proud that Affleck is finding success after his early-2000s career slump.

"I was so happy for him. We went through a rough time at a certain point and it was like we couldn't get a break and now to see him be successful and getting what he deserves for what he did made me feel really good," Lopez commented.

Affleck and Lopez were engaged a decade ago, but split amongst a torrent of media attention prior to marrying.
