When Ben Affleck won best director at the Golden Globe Awards for "Argo," ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez was among those cheering for him.
Lopez said she gave Affleck a standing ovation.
"[Argo] was a great movie," she said during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," airing Wednesday. "We got, you know, a lot of like ... They were really hard on us in the press when we dated back in the day. On movies and things like that. So it was a nice moment. It was nice to see him have that moment. I was really happy for him."
Lopez and Affleck broke off their engagement 10 years ago. The two, dubbed "Bennifer," were always in the tabloids and became a source of derision, and their movie together, "Gigli," bombed, hurting their careers.
