Mindy Kaling spoke on the third day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on August 21, 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the party’s nomination for president at the DNC, which takes place from August 19 to 22 in Chicago. Kaling acknowledged the Massachusetts delegation and expressed her love for her home state.

During her speech, Kaling referenced Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce, expressing support for Affleck. The tweet shared by Pop Crave includes Kaling’s remarks and affection for Massachusetts, amid a mention of the divorce between Lopez and Affleck. Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, 52, on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.

The news of their split came after four months of speculation about their marital status. Lopez listed the date of separation as April 26 of that year in her divorce filing. The documents revealed that she had reopened Affleck’s old love letters while working on her album *This Is Me … Now*.

In response, Affleck expressed his feelings about their relationship and the way it has been portrayed. Affleck also reflected on their first breakup in 2004, highlighting the differences in their approaches and the challenges of compromise. He mentioned his preference for privacy and understanding that his request for a private relationship was not fair to Lopez.

This acknowledgment underscored the challenges of merging their differing lifestyles.
