Ben Affleck may be trying to keep details of his relationship with pop and movie star Jennifer Lopez from the public eye since they called off their nuptials three months ago, but the actor maintained on Good Morning America today he and Lopez are still an item.

The two had reportedly planned to wed Sept. 14 in Santa Barbara, Calif. But days before the wedding, they announced they were postponing the nuptials because of unwanted publicity. Speculation was rampant, however, that cold feet may have played a role.

Affleck, interviewed by ABCNEWS' Diane Sawyer, called the decision to cancel the nuptials mutual, but would not say whether a wedding would be in their future.

"Jennifer Lopez and I are going to take our life at our own pace," he told Sawyer. "And we're going to make the decision that's right for us. And we're going to do it in a private way."

In any event, Affleck — who stars in the upcoming movie Paycheck — said he has no plans to have a televised wedding like The Bachelorette wedding extravaganza, and doesn't want every move he and Lopez make to be fodder for the media.

Media Mistakes

In the past, Affleck and Lopez, a highly photographed couple, may have been a little too accessible, he believes.

"I think we made a mistake, Jen and I. I think maybe because we were happy, having fun, enjoying our lives," Affleck told Sawyer. "I think we were too available. And we may not have been guarded enough, I don't know. But I think I'm probably not going to talk about whether or not I'm getting married on television," he said.

Affleck added he and Lopez are still together, and that their relationship changes, just like any other.

"Well, it's different every day, isn't it?" he said. Some days are bad and then … of course we're still together."

Affleck says he's aware that something could be at risk in deciding to wait.
