Jen Affleck Reacts to Criticism Over Her Relationship With Zac Affleck

As Jen noted of the situation, “We’re working on just tuning out the noise of the world—I think it still is hard for him.”

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is still getting used to being a public figure herself. 

“It’s hard to have to constantly open your phone and see negative comments and it’s hard not to take that in,” she explained. “Even if you say you don’t take it in, subconsciously we all care to a certain point. For me, I always have to remind myself, I post, I share my story, and then I take a step back. As long as I’m focusing on being the best version of myself, that’s all that matters.”

And when it comes to Zac sharing during season three of their Hulu series, which hit the platform in full today, Nov. 13, that he believes the couple would be in a healthier spot without the show and MomTok (the mom side of TikTok), Jen admitted that her husband is "probably right.”

Nevertheless, she wouldn’t trade where the couple are right now. 

“I feel like we’ve grown so much,” she reasoned. “Clearly, if we hadn’t been part of Momtok or been part of this show, we wouldn’t have gone through everything that we went through this last year. Even though that was so hard and almost broke us, it actually strengthened us in the long run.”

For Jen, putting their relationship out there has more pros than cons.  

"There’s so much we can learn from each other and so much that the world can learn from us as a group,” she added. “It’s not going to be easy, it’s going to cause issues, it’s going to make us uncomfortable but it’s through being uncomfortable that we grow and so even though it’s challenging and there’s a lot of drama, there’s a lot of good that comes from it too.”
