Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is reportedly headed for a messy and nasty divorce. Signs of trouble include solo house hunting and missing wedding rings. The couple’s lack of a prenup could prove costly for J.Lo. Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is allegedly trying to mediate and save the marriage.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
According to sources, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Hollywood’s power couple referred to as Bennifer, are said to be heading for a bitter divorce. The two, who rekindled their love affair last year and even tied the knot, have been making headlines with several news of their breakup.
Houses Hunting Individually And Without Wedding Rings
However, reports claim that Jennifer has been seen alone house hunting, indicating that she is probably moving on from her relationship with Ben Affleck. Additionally, the couple has been spotted several times without their wedding rings, further fueling rumours of imminent separation.
“For instance, In Touch magazine quotes someone familiar with J-Lo’s personal life as saying: ‘It’s turning nasty, and she’s already moved on from Ben. She attended the Met Gala by herself and went out to dinner on Mother’s Day without him, and now she’s looking at new houses for herself.'”
Mistake That Could Cost J.Lo Dearly?
If it becomes a reality, the couple would be in deep trouble since they have a combined wealth of over $550 million. However, this could mean significant financial loss for Jennifer Lopez, currently estimated at $400 million, while he sits around $150 million. However, this was not the case when they married in Las Vegas.
For example, one source allegedly told People that “Jen loved him so much at that time such that there was no reason for thinking about prenup.” Consequently, her fortune may be exposed to division if the pair divorces.
Jennifer Garner Saves The Day?
Amidst all these marital challenges, one person reportedly fights tooth and nail to save this marriage – Jennifer Garner, former wife of Bennifer’s Ben Affleck. According to Garner, Jen has brought much-needed stability into Ben’s and his children’s lives, and she does not want them to separate.
According to Daily Mail, a source said, “Garner has been through it with the same man herself, and although the circumstances were quite different, they both dealt with some of the same issues. Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage because she does care about J.Lo.”
Worries About Ben’s Sobriety
The two Jens are afraid that this hardship could push Ben Affleck back into drinking alcohol. Affleck used to abuse alcohol in the past and has gone through rehab as well.
In an interview with The New York Times in 2020, he spoke openly about his alcoholism and how it affected his relationship with Garner: “I mean, I just drank relatively normally for a long time. Then, I stopped getting away with it entirely when my marriage was in shambles. This was 2015/2016. And you know my drinking certainly created more marital problems.”
The Fate of Bennifer
Waiting for official statements from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck regarding their marital status, fanatics, and the media continue speculating. Can these two lovebirds resolve their differences, or will they divorce expensively?
Only time will tell how this Hollywood love story unfolds.
