“He’s full of demons”: Ben Affleck’s Alleged Friend Has Concerning Things to Say About the Oscar Winner While He Faces Turmoil in Marriage With Jennifer Lopez
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, once Hollywood’s golden couple, have reportedly split once again. The news comes as a shock to fans, especially considering they rekindled their love in 2021 and tied the knot a year later.
This isn’t their first time. The A-listers first dated in the early 2000s and got engaged, but their engagement famously broke off in 2004. Fast forward nearly two decades, and they reconnected in 2021. Now, talking about their current split, nobody’s quite sure why. But it seems like Affleck is having a hard time dealing with it.
Ben Affleck is Battling Inner Turmoil After the Split with JLo
Sources close to Ben Affleck expressed concerns following his recent split from Jennifer Lopez. His friends reportedly told the Daily Mail that the Hollywood star is grappling with inner conflict since the breakup. They described to the outlet:
I hear that he is drinking. He is full of demons – a really troubled person.
Another source said of the Caped Crusader actor:
I have seen him looking glassy eyed and it is a real worry to everyone who cares about him.
These comments raise concerns about a possible return to his well-known battles with alcohol. In a 2020 interview with The New York Times, Affleck said that people with compulsive behaviors, like himself, often feel constant discomfort that they try to get rid of. He continued:
You’re trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or s*x or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse. Then you do more of it to make that discomfort go away. Then the real pain starts. It becomes a vicious cycle you can’t break. That’s at least what happened to me.
As the actor said, it becomes like a never-ending cycle that’s hard to stop, and it eventually causes real pain. In the interview, he shared his own experience of how this cycle affected him.
Jennifer Lopez is Also Struggling with the Same
Ben Affleck’s emotional struggle is said to come from still having feelings for the pop-star even after they decided to split. And JLo too, feels the same way. A close source to her told In Touch Weekly that she “is crying all the time and very upset” as their divorce gets closer. The source added:
She goes from anger one minute, to despair, to panic attacks, to then deluding herself that it’s all just a blip and they’re going to be. It’s very clear that [Jen’s] fallen to pieces.
It looks like both Affleck and Lopez are finding it really hard to deal with their breakup.
