Movie hunk Ben Affleck has blamed his high-profile relationship with
fiancee Jennifer Lopez for wrecking his career. The Changing Lanes
star blames "constant media exposure" surrounding the high-profile
lovers for his dwindling credibility as an actor.

Ben says, "My relationship with Jennifer has absolutely been bad for
my career.The overexposure this year has been really damaging.The combination of me and Jennifer as a unit became more important than
the parts we did in movies".

"It's not good when everybody knows everything about you - the
mystique disappears.The whole world knew what we were doing on
a daily basis. They wrote that we had bought jeans for half a million
dollars.It made people think bad about us.But it's not important.People
who regard that as important have lost their soul".

I don't think his relationship with her hurt his career; I think that making Gigli with her did.
