Ben Affleck moves out as marital woes with Jennifer Lopez escalate
American magazines are competing to publish new findings about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's likely split. A newly published report indicates that their marriage has not been going well for a long time.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were initially seen as a picture-perfect couple. Fans of love stories akin to the cheesiest romantic comedies strongly supported the artist couple, whose fiery passion rekindled after 20 years apart. The well-acquainted spouses did not shy away from attending star-studded events, often seen ostentatiously embracing in front of photographers.
Over time, it became apparent that the actor's new persona, which seamlessly fit the role of a social lion, was just a well-acted facade. Ben felt increasingly overwhelmed by his wife's love for mingling with Hollywood elites. The bubble of their seemingly happy personal life burst suddenly, causing the spouses to avoid each other.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had mutual arguments
The weekly magazine "Us Weekly" published an extensive article detailing the most talked-about split of recent months. Journalists thoroughly analyzed all the troubling signals that indicated the end of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's romantic relationship. For this purpose, they relied on the invaluable insights of close acquaintances and experts who pointed out the "ended honeymoon phase."
Both have demanding careers that often require them to be in different cities. However, Jennifer is too focused on her work, in which she is overly involved. Ben couldn't tolerate Jen's lifestyle. He felt "tired" of the marriage - said an insider quoted by the magazine.
Friends of "Bennifer" reportedly witnessed their frequent arguments. When the partners had the chance to spend time together, they often wasted it on silent treatments.
Over time, it became increasingly difficult for Jennifer and Ben to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings turned into serious fights. They have fundamentally different approaches to many matters - added the insider.
The magazine also mentioned their drastically different views on parenting and finances, which consequently "exacerbated" their marital problems.
