Things got real when Jennifer Lopez spoke candidly about her true thoughts on her former fiance's massive back tattoo.

Last week, Jennifer Lopez joined Andy Cohen for a bit of fun on Watch What Happens: Live and let’s just say that the Shades Of Blue star certainly didn’t hold anything back.

When asked blatantly about her opinion on her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck’s new ink of a huge pheonix, the 46-year-old erupted: “It’s awful! And I would tell him that!”

“I would tell him, like, what are you doing? His tattoos always have too many colours.”

“They shouldn’t be so colourful, they should be… cooler,” she trailed off.

It seems that all of Hollywood has an opinion on Ben’s new ink.

Funnily enough, the mother-of-two isn’t the only ex to give a brutal opinion on Ben’s phoenix rising from the ashes.

Just last week, ex-wife Jennifer Garner also shared her not-so-nice opinion on the ink in a telling interview with Vanity Fair.

“Bless his heart,” she said (a common southern American way to politely indicate that someone is being silly). “And I am the ashes?” she joked. “I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”

Ben and Jen x 2.

JLo dated the Argo actor for about 18 months from 2002 until early 2004.

The couple were engaged to be married, but they famously pulled the plug on their 2003 wedding at the very last minute.

The Get Right singer then went on to tie the knot her third husband, Marc Anthony shortly after.

The couple were married for 10 years before splitting in 2014, and now share adorable twins Emme and Max.

Although Jenny from the block has indeed had a rocky relationship history with three divorces to her name, she hasn’t given up hope and is still open to the idea of getting married again.

“It’s always been a dream of mine, to grow old with somebody… to have a marriage that lasts, until we both die, like in The Notebook,” she laughs.

But the singer isn’t about to rush into anything with on-again-off-again boyfriend Casper Smart, who she has been dating since October 2011.

She said: ‘We’re happy right now. The kids are great, he’s great. Everything is great right now.’
