The once-blazing romance between
Ben Affleck
and
Jennifer Lopez
is reportedly facing significant
turbulence
. Close sources indicate that Ben Affleck, feeling as though he has woken up from a “fever dream,” is having doubts about the sustainability of their high-profile marriage. The couple, who rekindled their romance after years apart and married in a lavish ceremony, now appear to be struggling with irreconcilable differences.
Rumors of a potential divorce have gained traction as insiders reveal Ben Affleck’s growing sense of disillusionment.
A source confided to Page Six, “If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would.” This stark comment highlights the actor’s realization that their marriage might be a mistake. Ben has reportedly moved out of their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion and into a rental property in Brentwood, signaling a significant step toward separation.
“He feels like the last two years were just a fever dream,” the source continued, emphasizing Ben’s struggle to reconcile with the reality of their relationship. The actor, known for his introspective and private nature, is said to be coming to terms with the possibility of divorce.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s differing lifestyles have long been a point of contention. Paparazzi frequently capture Ben looking “gloomy” and “irritated” when out with Lopez, who thrives in the public eye. Fans and observers have noted the visible tension, attributing Ben’s dour expressions to the constant media attention and the contrasting ways in which the couple handles fame.
While Ben admires Jennifer’s work ethic and success, he struggles with her need to share her life publicly. “Even though he admires that about her, it doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers,” an insider told People.
Further, amid the marital strife, Affleck recently received a visit from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children. Garner’s presence could be a source of comfort as Affleck navigates this turbulent period. Meanwhile, Lopez remains focused on her professional commitments. She is preparing for an upcoming musical tour following the release of her album ‘This Is Me… Now’ and is set to star in the sci-fi film ‘Atlas.’
