Jennifer Lopez’s fans are expressing concern over recent reports of tensions between the singer and her legal husband, Ben Affleck, whom she married last summer.
According to an insider familiar with the couple, things are even worse than fans might have anticipated.
The source revealed that a serious conflict between the spouses has escalated to the point where divorce seems imminent.
The root of the issue appears to be the stark differences in energy levels and lifestyle preferences between the couple. While Lopez, known for her boundless energy and ambition, thrives on a hectic schedule and strives for perfection in both her work and personal life, Affleck, who is three years younger, prefers a quieter, less stressful existence.
Adding to the strain are the demands of raising five children: three from Affleck’s previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, and Lopez’s twins from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
Furthermore, Lopez’s venture into a potentially risky business venture, convincing Affleck to collaborate on the film “Unstoppable,” has only exacerbated their marital challenges.
Pre-production stress and the tight filming schedule of “Unstoppable” have fueled even more frequent arguments between the couple.
Friends fear that the strain of working together on the movie could spell the end of their already troubled marriage, drawing parallels to the demise of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s relationship after working on a film together.
Public incidents, such as Affleck’s apparent disinterest at the Grammys and heated arguments captured by paparazzi, have only fueled speculation about the couple’s marital discord.
If the situation does not improve, what began as a promising love story more than two decades ago could end in a high-profile divorce.
