“It was meant to teach you the value of hard work. Jennifer was the one who gave me the most trouble, and I have to admit, it was her fault. It was a lot of headbutting.
She said, “I was far away from being the perfect mom.” It is one thing I can say with all my heart that everything I did was in their best interests.
Guadalupe revealed to Sunny Hostin, the View’s Sunny Hostin, that her daughter knew Ben Affleck as her true love.

Affleck talked about his dad’s struggles with the alcohol, saying to People magazine that he didn’t drink until he was 19.
“I see my dad’s life as it really is. He tried his best and dealt with the addiction, but he overcame it.
“My father was definitely an alcoholic at the bottom and yet he never had one drink for 30 years.” Now, that I think about it, the main lesson of his life and its legacy is how he greatly improved it.

The Sun, June 20, 2021: Speaking with the Sun, the 77 year-old stated that he did not know them again. He also said that he hadn’t been to see his sons in two years.
