Ben Affleck is allegedly “taking some space” from Jennifer Lopez amid divorce rumors.
A recent report revealed that the couple is currently “on two completely different pages.” Additionally, their honeymoon phase has apparently “worn off.”
As a result, the “Queen of Dance” and the Academy Awards winner have been taking space from each other. This is apparently in an attempt to determine whether the marriage “is right for both of them.” The news comes directly from an inside source who spoke with Us Weekly.
Furthermore, sources revealed that Affleck specifically feels “worn down” by his relationship with his wife. Not only that, but he allegedly “doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle,” causing him to be “checked out.”
Conflicting lifestyles can certainly tear spouses apart, which seems to be the case for Lopez and Affleck.
“Both have demanding careers that often require them to be in different cities,” the source said.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Are ‘Taking Some Space’ Amid Divorce Rumors
JLo in particular is “very focused on work and overextends herself.” This of course could impact even the most secure marriages.
The two have also spent time apart due to their conflicting work schedules. As a result, the space only “highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them,” according to the source.
“Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments,” the insider continued. “They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict.”
Whether they are actually heading for divorce is unclear, but neither of the two have spoken up about the matter. In fact, Affleck was actually seen hiding his ring finger in paparazzi photos. (At least, it appeared that way, as he stuffed his left hand under a sweatshirt.)
Additionally, when confronted with the rumors during a press tour for her new movie Atlas, Lopez told the reporter, “You know better than that.”
