The rollercoaster romance between Hollywood Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez stretched across two decades before they finally decided to get married last year. The duo initially began dating in 2002, but after merely two years Affleck and Lopez decided to part ways following a tabloid controversy about their relationship. Both celebrities got married and started their families after their breakup. However, Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in Las Vegas in July 2022. Recently, a marriage update involving Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez left Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal unhappy while expressing his thoughts on Jay-Z’s awkward moment with Beyonce at the 65th Grammy Awards recently.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have been married for nearly fifteen years. Recently, when the host Trevor Noah referred to Beyonce as ‘Beyonce Knowles’, Jay-Z did not seem to be happy about it. The incident led to a hilarious debate between Shaq and Nischelle Turner during last week’s The Big Podcast. However, Shaquille O’Neal gave an example of Affleck and Lopez to support his argument.

Shaquille O’Neal’s take on the Affleck-Loepez debate

In last week’s edition of The Big Podcast, Shaquille O’Neal was not too impressed by Jay-Z’s reaction. However, the co-host Nischelle Turner argued that Beyonce went by the name Beyonce Knowles Carter. In response, Shaq stated, “So, when my good friend Ben Affleck marries Jennifer Lopez, you expect them to say, Jennifer Affleck or Jennifer Lopez?”

The co-host Turner replied, “Yes! That’s what she goes by. She goes by Affleck.” The argument between Shaq and Nischelle Turner left the co-host Josiah Johnson laughing his heart out. Meanwhile, Turner pointed out that she recently interviewed Jennifer Lopez, and she was quite sure that the renowned actress went by the name ‘Affleck’. Shaquille O’Neal responded, “No, no, she goes by Jennifer, stop it.”

Further, the four-time NBA champ also ended up giving a valuable piece of advice to all the men who married superstar celebrities. Shaq said, “All you sensitive husbands, who has married these superstars, leave them people alone and let them live their lives. They had names before you boo boo. They had names before you boo boo. Let them keep their names.”

Turner stressed that she referred to Jennifer Lopez as ‘Affleck’ the other day during an interview. However, the Lakers legend was in no mood of letting her friend and co-host Turner win the argument. Thus, Shaquille O’Neal urged the ‘sensitive’ husbands of celebrities to let them have their freedom.
