“Ben and Matt’s friendship is fractured”: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Friendship is in Danger Because of Jennifer Lopez: Reports
The Guys of The Decade before the last, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are the best bromance Hollywood ever saw. A rare childhood friendship that lasted. Dreaming and working together, winning their first Oscars together. Their friendship has outlived many romantic relationships in the entertainment industry. A pairing that works exceedingly well both personally and professionally. But after Ben Affleck’s reunion with beau Jennifer Lopez, their friendship is reportedly suffering.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Helped Save Matt Damon’s Marriage
It has been reported by an insider that Bennifer helped Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso to rediscover their love for each other. In the 00s it couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck suggested couples therapy to their friends and have made their lives better.
Lopez and Affleck themselves go to couples counseling and highly recommend it. But the insider said that is the only thing keeping them together. The insider says:
“Ben is first to admit the only thing that keeps Jennifer and him together is therapy,”
When the pair resumed their romance after twenty years, they decided to make it last. They now know to make the marriage work and advised their friends to do the same.
Jennifer Lopez Causing A Rift Between The Friends
Sources suggest that JLo is causing a rift in Affleck and Damon’s bromance. Her intention in getting Damon into therapy was to get him to focus on his own marriage and let Affleck be all to herself.
The insider revealed:
“Jennifer wanted Matt to get into counseling, too, though her reasons were a little selfish! She hoped Matt would shed the bro behavior he shares with Ben and start paying more attention to his own wife.”
Furthermore, JLo’s micromanaging and control attitude doesn’t sit right with Damon because when it affects Affleck, he is not himself. Things have gotten to a state that Affleck splitting from Lopez could be the only thing that would save his friendship with Damon.
“Jennifer feels the need to micromanage Ben’s life to an extreme degree, and now Ben’s so badgered and browbeaten he doesn’t have the strength to stand up for himself. Matt remembers Ben as a macho guy who dictated his own behavior, but he changed as soon as he let Jennifer back in his life. Ben and Matt’s friendship is fractured, and the only way it can get back to where it was is if Ben dumps Jennifer. But that’s not going to happen. She won’t let it.”
