At the Democratic National Convention, Mindy Kaling showed some love for her home state of Massachusetts, and in a light-hearted moment, told Ben Affleck to "hang in there" amidst his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Kaling, who once portrayed Affleck in an off-Broadway play, addressed the Massachusetts delegation, mentioning the Red Sox, Jayson Tatum, and even Dunkin' Donuts. Her well wishes for Affleck drew applause from the crowd, just a day after Lopez filed for divorce.

The couple's split follows months of speculation about their marriage. Reports of Affleck moving out and their lack of public appearances fueled rumors. While neither has publicly commented on the divorce, Affleck was recently seen without his wedding ring.

Despite the sad news, Kaling's message offered a touch of humor and support during a difficult time for Affleck. It's a reminder that even amidst personal challenges, there's always room for a little lightheartedness and well wishes from unexpected sources.
