Jennifer Lopez is under immense pressure, with her career experiencing a downturn and her relationship with Ben Affleck facing significant challenges. The singer is reportedly terrified of the prospect of another divorce. "She’s saying she can’t imagine a scenario where she can exist without Ben in her life," an insider close to the star revealed.

Jennifer Lopez is navigating through a difficult phase. Personal and professional problems are converging, and the media is already speculating about the potential end of her career. During this challenging period, Lopez cannot rely on the support of Ben Affleck, who is allegedly growing tired of their relationship. The crisis is taking a toll on her well-being, affecting her behavior and making it harder to maintain her usual discipline.

Even canceling the tour promoting her latest album, a decision to save her marriage potentially, didn't yield positive results. Their Beverly Hills mansion, valued at $60 million and purchased after their wedding, has been put up for sale, signaling trouble. According to In Touch magazine, Lopez swallowed her pride and pleaded with her husband not to give up on this love.

J. Lo left this decision to cancel her tour until the very last second, reports a person close to the star. It was a very hard call for her to make. But then she had a crisis meeting where it was explained to her just how bad ticket sales were and the general consensus was that she’d save face by calling the whole thing off, which was obviously a huge blow, as she was so looking forward to going back on the road and getting comfort from her fans.

Lopez hopes to reason with Ben and convince him to give her one last chance. A third divorce after just a few years of marriage would be a tremendous personal failure for her, so she prefers to believe that such a scenario won't come to pass.

As long as no paperwork is actually filed, Jen is still clinging to the possibility, however remote, that they’ll be able to turn things around – adds the insider. She is crying all the time and very upset. She goes from anger one minute, to despair, to panic attacks, to then deluding herself that it’s all just a blip and they’re going to be OK.

Although Jen and Ben have not yet filed for divorce, they are reportedly living separately. The actor is currently residing in a rented house in Brentwood, California.

It’s very clear that [Jen’s] fallen to pieces – reports the insider. She’s saying she can’t imagine a scenario where she can exist without Ben in her life, which is putting a ton of pressure on him and not really helping the situation.
