Jennifer Lopez revealed what she thinks of ex Ben Affleck's tattoos during an episode of Watch What Happens Live

"It's awful! What are you doing?" she joked, talking to Andy Cohen on the Watch What Happens Live Monday show during its infamous 'Plead the Fifth' segment where guests can only avoid answering one question.

"His tattoos always have too many colours, they shouldn't be so colourful," she continued. "They should be cooler."

Ben was first spotted rocking the new design in December, following his separation from wife Jennifer Garner last July.

Ben and Jennifer dated for two years

Jennifer herself quipped about the tattoo during a candid interview where she spoke about the actor. "Bless his heart," she joked to Vanity Fair.

She also opened up about the couple's decision to divorce, revealing that despite speculation, there was no one else involved. "We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny," she explained. "She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. [Christine Ouzounian — the nanny] was not a part of the equation."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their separation last year

Since announcing their split, the couple have been spotted spending time together with their three children – and recently hosted a superhero-themed party for their four-year-old son.

Ben, who currently stars as Batman in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, confessed he turned to his film studio to try and help him with his costume.

"I had to call the studio and say, 'Is there any chance someone has the costume around?'" he revealed, adding that they were initially hesitant to loan him the ensemble. "They trust me for the movie, but not for a four-year-old's birthday," he laughed, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
