And when she felt comfortable enough with the ex-husband of Jennifer Garner, she asked about Maid in Manhattan star Lopez.

‘When he and I were together, I asked him, ‘What was J. Lo’s ass like?’ I had to ask him. She’s an icon. She’s awesome,’ said Cherry to the publication.

‘And he said it’s ‘phenomenal,” added Katie.

When Ben said this to Katie, Jennifer was dating former baseball star Alex Rodriguez. 

She also told InTouch how she met Ben. 

‘We met on Raya on the business side of it,’ she said.

They ‘didn’t originally plan to meet’ because ‘I was in Buffalo…. We FaceTimed for four months before we met. It wasn’t every day, but it was every once in a while.

‘I was talking to him a lot when I was in Cape Cod, it’s on my Instagram page in highlights, and I put music to a lot of my videos, and I’d send him stuff like that, and he’d send me new music to listen to and videos to look at,’ she said. 

Their first date was at a rooftop bar in Santa Monica.

‘We met to go there and standing outside and not going in because paparazzi were following him,’ she said. 

And they clicked. ‘He’s very sweet, super charming and super funny, and I was like, “Hey, this guy is kind of cute.” He definitely, definitely was looking for something really deep and meaningful for sure.

According to Katie, Ben, 49, said, ‘I like Buffalo girls because they’re really normal.’

Katie also liked that he was not into frills: ‘He’s such a homebody. His favorite thing to do is sit at home, watch movies, have a chef cook something at home. He’s so normal and down to earth.’  

Cherry seems to have been moved on: on Instagram she shows off photos with husband John Loomis as well as their newborn baby. 

In April, Jennifer and Ben went public with their on-again relationship. They first dated 18 years ago in 2002 after meeting on the set of the film Gigli. They went on to get engaged and planned a wedding but they called off their romance in early 2004.

The Tender Bar actor knew rekindling his romance with the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker would draw a lot of attention and he didn’t want to do anything that would make Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine, uncomfortable.

Asked if he had any hesitation about getting back with the 52-year-old singer-and-actress because of his family, Ben – who has his children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – told Sirius XM’s Howard Stern: ‘Well, look, my responsibility to my children is the highest responsibility I have. So I won’t do anything that’s painful or destructive to them if I can help it.

‘That being said, I know that my life affects them. I dropped my son off at school two days ago, and he’s the only one who will talk about it. He’s nine years old and there’s a bunch of the older boys out there doing some toy drive or something, and I heard them go, ‘Oh Ben Affleck, Ben Affleck.’ And my kid looks at me and goes, ‘#WelcomeToMyLife.’ ‘

Ben also admitted the media scrutiny he and the Hustlers actress came under when they first dated contributed to the end of their engagement in 2004.

He said: ‘I would say it was about 50 percent [of what destroyed our relationship]. The idea that people hate you and they hate you together and that being together is poison and ugly and toxic and the thing none of us want to be part of.

‘And who the f**k would want to have them to dinner? And what the f**k are they doing together?

The 49-year-old star ‘felt like a fool’ when the relationship ended.

He candidly admitted: ‘I got f****** hurt and angry and felt like a fool.’
