Matt Damon touches on media scrutiny over Bennifer romance 17 years ago

Matt Damon came forth revealing he couldn't be happier after his closest pal Ben Affleck reunited with Jennifer Lopez. 

The press was really unkind towards the couple 18 years ago, Damon revealed.

"So what's it like having your boy have a relationship that's all over the news? Is that, like, weird?" Damon was asked while on Desus & Mero this week.

"Well, yeah, it's weird," Damon admitted, before adding, "I have to say, the press was particularly terrible to them, like, 18 years ago."

"What's nice is that at least they're being nice this time around," he added, before cracking a joke.

"They're on vacation right now, but he still responded when I hit him up about the Red Sox yesterday…You still have priorities!" he added.

JLo and Ben are currently vacationing in Italy.
