Ben Affleck sarcastically cites ‘Temporary Insanity’ in JLo split
Ben Affleck is reportedly done with his marriage to Jennifer Lopez. Sources close to the couple reveal that the actor is struggling with the constant media attention that comes with being married to JLo.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” according to PageSix. “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
The couple rekindled their romance in 2021. After that, they got married in a whirlwind ceremony. Now, they are facing serious challenges in their relationship.
“They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention. Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach,” according to PEOPLE.
Affleck, 51, has always been impressed by Lopez’s work ethic and success in the industry. However, her need to share her life publicly is something he is not comfortable with. Thus, causing significant stress in their relationship.
“Even though he admires that about her, it doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers. There is no question their different styles clash,” adds PEOPLE’s source.
A third source from the industry notes that Lopez, 54:
“needs that expression but Affleck simply is not comfortable with it.”
As Affleck comes to terms with the reality of their relationship, it appears that the differences in their lifestyles and approaches to fame may ultimately lead to their separation. As a result, the actor is said to feel that their marriage is not sustainable. In addition, the constant media scrutiny and their contrasting views on public life have made an impact.
For now, fans and media alike are closely watching the developments in the relationship between the Hollywood power couple, as they navigate these challenging times.
