Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, married for nearly two years, are grappling with marital issues, according to sources. The couple is reportedly taking some time apart to reevaluate their relationship.
Jennifer Lopez, a 54-year-old Golden Globe nominee, is increasing her work commitments and preparing for her upcoming tour. An insider revealed, “She’s very focused on work and overextends herself.” Meanwhile, 51-year-old Affleck is said to be feeling “worn down” by Lopez’s lifestyle and disagrees with it.
The Academy Award winner has reportedly been “checked out” of the relationship, with the insider noting, “They are on two completely different pages most of the time. The honeymoon phase has worn off.”
The couple’s demanding careers often require them to be in different cities, which has reportedly exacerbated their emotional and physical distance. The insider added, “Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments.
The couple’s contrasting approaches to conflict resolution, parenting, and finances have further strained their relationship. While Lopez, worth a reported $400 million, prefers to confront issues head-on, Affleck, worth $160 million, is less forthcoming.
Despite these challenges, Lopez remains committed to working on the marriage. Affleck, who was initially hesitant, has reportedly begun to invest more in the relationship. The couple is currently reassessing their priorities and determining what they truly want from their marriage.
