Ben Affleck is entangled in a complex love affair with his soon-to-be ex-wife. At this point, the future of their relationship remains a mystery, even to Jennifer Lopez.
After two years of a highly publicized and intense romance, Affleck and Lopez announced their separation in a way that shocked the world.
The singer filed for divorce on her wedding anniversary. It was a shocking blow. Affleck also did his ex-lady dirty by moving out of their marital home while she was away celebrating her birthday.
The actors hired the best lawyers and started working on the divorce process. It was supposed to be a clean and quick split.
However, the divorce, like their marriage, took many weird and complicated turns. Lopez’s twins and Affleck’s children are close, and it is impossible to cut ties.
After signing the divorce documents, the former couple have lunches and dinners as a family. They attend monthly parent-teacher conferences together.
They are present as a family for birthdays and important school milestones. Lopez still wears her massive wedding ring and Affleck’s necklace during these outings.
Sparks fly during Lopez and Affleck’s meetups, not anger but sexual tension. They were seen kissing and hugging at a family gathering last week, according to Page Six.
An insider told Page Six: “Once they were together, [Affleck] could not keep his hands off. They have always had a lot of sexual chemistry. That was not planned. They are still attracted to one another.”
It is reported that Lopez and Affleck have been having unplanned, passionate sleepovers, adding a new layer of unpredictability to their relationship.
According to a family friend who talked to Us Weekly: “J.Lo has stayed over at Ben’s place a couple of times. When it’s good, it’s really good, but when it’s bad, it’s really bad—and things are so good when they are friends. If things are better between them because they’re separated, that’s a reason the divorce would go through.”
The source revealed that the meetings, lunches, and steamy nightly gatherings suggest “there’s a small chance Bennifer 3.0 could become a reality.”
While Lopez and Affleck have become extremely close and friendly exes, they are still dealing with the same issues that led to their separation — their conflicting schedules.
The source said: “A lot of their issues stemmed from lifestyle differences; they are just on completely different schedules—and nothing has changed [since breaking up].”
Lopez and Affleck’s entourage believe the minor issue keeping them apart can be resolved with willpower and determination.
