Even one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples isn’t immune to the “Yellowstone” fever sweeping the nation.
Ben Affleck is opening up about his life with wife Jennifer Lopez, and he’s jokingly revealing that he’s a little “disturbed” by her latest television obsession. During a recent appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast to promote his film Air, the actor let slip that J.Lo is officially a superfan of the hit Paramount Network series.
The “Bennifer” romance has been the talk of the town since they rekindled their flame in and tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in . But while they share a lot of common interests, it seems Yellowstone is sparking some hilarious tension on the couch.
Affleck revealed that Lopez is particularly drawn to the gritty, high-stakes romance between characters Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. “I’m kind of disturbed that my wife really likes Yellowstone,” Ben quipped during the interview.
He specifically pointed to the chemistry between actors Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly as the source of her fascination. “Part of me thinks that she’s really drawn to the romance between Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly,” he joked.
What makes the situation even funnier? Ben and Cole Hauser actually have a history, having starred together in the classic School Ties and ‘s Good Will Hunting.
According to Ben, Jennifer isn’t just a casual viewer—she’s actively trying to get him on the bandwagon. He recalled a moment when Jen showed him an Instagram clip of a powerful monologue Beth Dutton gives to a child in a car about how to become rich.
“She was like, ‘I love this story of these two,'” Ben shared. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute? With Hauser? With Cole Hauser? What do you love about it?'”
Lopez is certainly not alone in her obsession. Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama has become a cultural phenomenon, recently hitting a massive milestone of one billion minutes viewed in a single week.
The show has become so popular that it has launched an entire television universe, including prequels like starring Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and featuring legends Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
While Ben might be playfully side-eyeing his wife’s love for the Dutton family antics, it’s clear that the “Yellowstone” effect has officially reached the highest levels of Hollywood royalty.
