Jennifer Lopez is reportedly holding onto her marriage with Ben Affleck to avoid public embarrassment, according to a journalist from The New York Post. The singer and actress is said to be “desperate and clinging to her marriage” with the “Argo” star to “save herself from embarrassment.”
Speculation about their relationship troubles has been fueled by recent events. Ben Affleck was seen attending his daughter’s graduation party in Los Angeles without Jennifer Lopez, raising eyebrows.
“She’s now desperate to pretend temp Affleck is still happy with her. Why? Because it’s embarrassing,” stated the journalist. The source further told the outlet that the Marry Me actress “was desperate to make the marriage work,” especially because her career slowed down to a standstill.
“Slowing professionally because 20-year-old newbies are cropping up, she’s now producing her own projects,” reported a journalist about JLo’s struggling music and movie career. “Ben already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for,” remarked another source earlier this month.
The source spilled to the outlet, “They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.” “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” added an insider.
RadarOnline previously reported that the couple’s marriage is in a “deteriorating phase” as they haven’t been seen together in public since March. Additionally, it was noted that Ben had moved out of their more than $60 million Beverly Hills mansion and into a home in Brentwood by himself.
On May 16, the couple was spotted at their son Fin Affleck’s school production. However, the outlet mentioned that they arrived separately and did not seem happy to see each other.
A source close to Ben revealed that the actor “had come to his senses” nearly two years after tying the knot with JLo in July 2022. As rumors continue to swirl, fans and the media are closely watching the couple for any signs of reconciliation or further separation.
