For context, Ben and Jennifer got married in 2005. In the 10 years they were together, they welcomed three children — 17-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 11-year-old Samuel — before announcing their split in 2015.

Their divorce was finalized in 2018, and since then, both have gone on to find new partners, with Jen dating entrepreneur John Miller while Ben married his ex Jennifer Lopez back in 2022.

But, despite staying close friends for the benefit of their three children, Jennifer recently made it clear that she’s never in a hurry to click on news reports about her ex-husband.

In a new interview with Stellar magazine, the 13 Going On 30 star said she makes a conscious effort to steer clear of news stories that might involve her or Ben, admitting that seeing that kind of context doesn’t put her in the greatest headspace.

“I really work hard not to see either of us in the press,” she said. “It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something nice about one of us.”

She went on to say that when it comes to herself or anyone close to her, she’d rather try and “forget” that she’s “out there in any way,” before adding: “I don’t need to see anyone in my family made into a meme.”

Of course, the meme subject she’s referring to is her widely scrutinized ex-husband, who’s been memed over everything from his unhappy-looking face to his obsession with Dunkin’.

For her part, Jennifer admitted she’s not personally engaged with any of the memes inspired by Ben, but she added that she’s sure “he’s quite meme-worthy.”
