Jennifer Lopez is 'tired' of saving her marriage to 'perpetually irritated' Ben Affleck

The Daily Mail, citing its source, revealed details of the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who, according to rumors, are about to get divorced.

An insider told the publication that Lopez is tired of trying to save her relationship with Ben and feels like she's done everything she can: "She's had enough, she's really tried, but she can't do it anymore because it's not getting better, it's only getting worse."

According to the insider, it was very difficult with Affleck because he was always “gloomy and negative,” and this was aggravated due to the heavy work on the film “Reckoning 2,” which is difficult to combine with family and children. The Daily Mail's interlocutor noted that Lopez is shocked by how much hate she receives, because if people knew how things really are, they would be kinder to her.

“Ben is a great guy, but he can be moody and spoil the mood. The whole world saw it in photos like those taken at the Grammys last year, he didn’t smile at all. He chain-smokes, curses, and seems perpetually irritated. An excellent director and actor, but, you know, he’s not very fun. Although he is a wonderful father,” the source said.

He added that the stars have not yet announced their separation, as they have decided to wait until the end of the school year, because they think about their children first and foremost. However, as everyone already knows, the couple no longer lives together: “Jennifer is, of course, sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different, they did not have symbiosis, they went their separate ways. She tried very hard to fix everything, put a lot of effort and energy into it, but it did not work out. There is no one to blame for this, that’s how the cards fell. It is difficult for two stars of such magnitude to maintain a marriage, someone had to give in, but neither of them did it.”

The insider also said that Jennifer is already planning her future without Ben. So, in 2025, after some clarity has come in her personal life, she still wants to go on a tour, which was recently canceled - allegedly due to the fact that Lopez decided to devote more time to her family. However, Internet users suspect that this is just an excuse, when in fact the reason for the cancellation of the tour was low demand for tickets.

Recently, information appeared in the media that, amid problems with Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck began drinking again, although he had been sober for six years.
