The rumors about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s alleged split started to spread a few weeks ago and it seems that sources close to the couple have decided to weigh in on it. According to an insider, the couple’s honeymoon phase seems to have worn off.
This Tuesday, May 28th, a source told US Weekly that the couple is now taking some space away from each other. They are also reportedly deciding whether this relationship is right for both of them.
What did the source say about Affleck and Lopez’s relationship?
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finding each other after almost two decades of being apart and getting hitched was a fairytale story for all of us. Unfortunately, it seems like the rumors about the couple splitting might be true. According to an insider, Ben Affleck allegedly does not agree with Lopez’s lifestyle and is feeling “worn down” by the marriage.
The source also said the couple seems to disagree about most things and that their honeymoon phase has also ended. The couple has apparently been apart for conflicting work obligations now that Jennifer’s This is Me… Live tour is going to take off. The couple’s demanding careers require them to be away from each other a lot and Lopez often “overextends herself,” during work. This physical distance has apparently pushed them apart mentally as well, according to the source.
Not only that, it seems that the couple also have a completely different approach to finances and parenting, which has also contributed to their problems. The source added, “Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments.” Their different approach to life seems to be taking a toll on their relationship.
