Jennifer Lopez‘s complicated marriage to Ben Affleck has taken an ugly turn despite their efforts to remain civilized.
The pair recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary — on a different coast. Lopez had been busy in The Hamptons with friends.
She has been seen at parties, enjoying bike rides, and having dinner with close associates and some of Affleck’s children.
As for Affleck, he is in California, working on a new project and bonding with his kids. Indeed, the long-awaited marriage of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck could not survive for 48 months.
The pair waited over 20 years to reconcile and make their dream wedding a reality, and in a matter of months, it all went to hell.
What went wrong? Whose fault is it? Sources close to Ben Affleck rush to pin the blame on Jennifer Lopez.
In a daring move to throw the singer and actress under the divorce bus, it has been revealed that Affleck discovered early on in the relationship he was way over his head.
He claims that Lopez came into the marriage with suitcases, boxes, and purses, all filled with unmanageable drama.
A source has claimed to OK! Magazine that the ill state of the union left Ben Affleck licking his wounds.
An insider told the outlet: “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman, but it was always drama. He’s feeling down about it and is upset and depressed that it didn’t work out, even though he knows ending it is the right thing to do.”
According to a source, Affleck was oddly surprised by Lopez’s well-documented lifestyle, routine, and work and workout schedules.
The insider continued: “Jennifer has a big entourage that follows her around daily — glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers.”
The source added that the couple’s conflicting lifestyles added to the stress of their romance. Lopez tried her best to make her husband understand that she is a walking brand and needs an entire staff to make the magic happen all the time.
The family friend stated: “She’s tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job. She is her brand; she lives and breathes it, while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to. Jennifer’s keeping her head up. She doesn’t want to be seen as the villain.”
The source went on to say: “They have gone through phases where things haven’t been as great between them due to their different personalities and not getting enough time together. They’re not always on the same page. They both have so much going on between caring for their families and their work commitments, which can be a lot for them.”
Meanwhile, Lopez has taken a softer tone regarding this relationship catastrophe. A source told Fox News: “The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken. She loves love and wanted this to work so badly.”
According to observers, the power couple keeps going in different direction.
