Jennifer Lopez’s Worst Nightmare About Ben Affleck is Coming True After Filing For Divorce (Report)

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship is one of the most talked about celebrity relationships. From their first meeting on the sets of 2002’s Gigli to their romance leading to their engagement and eventual split in 2004, Lopez & Affleck have always been the couple the public wished would find their way back to each other. The former couple reunited in 2021, leading to their engagement and marriage in 2022 with eventually filing for divorce on their second anniversary. The two of them are back under the spotlight.

Affleck and Lopez were recently spotted with their kids at the Beverly Hills Hotel and were reportedly holding hands and kissing. However, reports have mentioned that they were very cordial with each other and are in the process of going ahead with their divorce. Amid the divorce, reports of Ben Affleck slipping back to his past demons have started to surface.

Jennifer Lopez hopes Ben Affleck won’t make a detour to his past demons

According to reports from InTouch Weekly, Ben Affleck’s loved ones, including ex-Jennifer Garner, best friend Matt Damon, and more, are worried about the divorce from Jennifer Lopez taking a toll on him. Lopez is also concerned about his well-being. The source shared,

Ben Affleck has been throwing himself into work as a healthy escape amid the split. However, there’s always a worry that he’ll return to his vices when the going gets tough.

The publication reported that Garner, who has supported the actor throughout his battle against alcohol addiction, is leading a ‘mercy squad’ who are constantly checking upon him to ensure he doesn’t slip back into his old habits. They added that the Batman actor may come across as a happy and cheery person, and for the most part he is, but he certainly has his down moments.

The sources shared that the divorce did take a toll on him, as his reputation has taken a huge hit, and at this moment he is grappling with a lot of guilt. Back in April, reports of Jennifer Lopez wanting Affleck to quit smoking surfaced after Life & Style reported that she had set down some rules. The source at the time shared,

J.Lo loves Ben, but she’s tired of his nasty cigarettes. She put up his smoking at first because it’s his only vice left and she didn’t want to nag, but she can’t stand it. She hates cigarette smoke, and what’s worse, she smells it on his clothes.

Now with the reports of Ben Affleck probably returning to his demons amid the divorce, this has concerned the actress-singer as well. J.Lo filed for divorce and cited the date of separation as 26th April 2024, but she does not want Affleck to go back to alcohol to cope with the stress. At the end, she wants the best for both of them.

Jennifer Lopez thinks Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck will ‘get back together’

After Affleck and Garner called it quits in 2015, they have remained close friends and have been co-parenting their three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. Ben Affleck has leaned upon Jennifer Garner for comfort and support amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, and this does not sit right with the actress-singer.

According to reports by InTouch Weekly, Lopez is convinced that the former couple is one step away from getting back together, adding;

Seeing the photos of them looking more like a couple than a pair of exes was the final straw for J. Lo, it was the push she needed to file for divorce finally. She kept hoping that she and Ben might work things out, but he put in zero effort to fix things and only seemed interested in spending time with Jen and his kids.

The source added that the singer-actress is left wondering if she was some sort of pawn that the actor used to try and win his ex-wife back. In their two years of marriage, Affleck reportedly only raved about Garner like she was a sort of saint and claimed that there was nothing to be jealous of Lopez.

Sources mentioned that Lopez never liked the fact that he’d always go back to Garner whenever they fought. Now not only Affleck has moved closer to his ex-wife and the kids but also flown down from California to Connecticut along with Garner to see their eldest Violet as she enters Yale University.

Jennifer Lopez is furious with the pictures that were published of the former couple dropping their eldest at university. She feels betrayed and humiliated and is convinced that there’s a lot more than just co-parenting between the two. What added more fuel is the fact that Garner has the access password to Affleck’s Brentwood property while others including Lopez has to wait.
