Ben Affleck Is ‘Upset and Depressed’ His Marriage With Jennifer Lopez Is Ending, Source Alleges

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are one of Hollywood’s “it” couples that fans have been rooting for over decades. The couple initially fell in love in the early 2000s but broke up before marriage. In 2021, they fell back in love, and tied the knot in 2022. Unfortunately, divorce rumors are swirling around Affleck and Lopez in 2024. Here’s what an insider said about Affleck feeling “upset and depressed” about his marriage to Lopez possibly ending.

Ben Affleck is reportedly ‘upset and depressed’ about his failing marriage to Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez haven’t publicly acknowledged the rumors that suggest they’re heading for divorce. While the couple seemed happier than ever when they tied the knot in 2022, insiders said in May 2024 that they couldn’t deal with their fundamental differences. While Affleck prefers to live a quiet life out of the spotlight, Lopez loves her fans and wants to continue living as “J.Lo.”

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” a source told In Touch Weekly in May 2024. “Ben has already moved out, and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.” Just as the insider predicted, Affleck and Lopez put their mansion up for sale in July 2024.

A source alleged to OK! Magazine in June 2024 that Affleck feels “upset and depressed” about his marriage potentially ending. “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman,” the source claimed. “It was drama all the time. He’s feeling down about it and is upset and depressed it didn’t work out even though he knows ending it is the right thing to do.”

Jennifer Lopez adores her fans and planned to go on tour in 2024. Unfortunately, she canceled her This Is Me … Live tour amid divorce speculation. Her team stated that Lopez wanted to spend more time with family.

Lopez has taken decades to develop her “J.Lo” persona, which fans know and love. However, a friend told DailyMail.com in June 2024 that the multihyphenate would sacrifice her hard-earned career to keep her marriage intact.

“She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice, including giving up being J.Lo ,” a friend said, adding that she “doesn’t want to end up like Madonna — on her own at 60. She can’t bear the idea of failure.”

“I think you can already see her toning down the way she looks and obviously quitting this tour as well to try to hang on to the marriage,” the friend continued, noting that it’s “sad” to see Lopez “dimming her shine” just to keep Affleck.

J.Lo appeared happy in photos following their 2-year anniversary they didn’t spend together

Because Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez haven’t spoken about their relationship, it’s impossible to say where they stand. However, fans think it’s a red flag that they didn’t spend their second anniversary together . Affleck stayed in Los Angeles in July 2024, while Lopez spent time in New York. They also didn’t spend the Fourth of July together.

Lopez has been photographed in New York, and she doesn’t look like a depressed woman on the verge of divorce. On July 18, 2024, she smiled while heading into the Equinox gym in the Hamptons with her friend and manager, Benny Medina. A photo from DailyMail.com shows her sporting a silver ring on her ring finger, but it’s reportedly not the engagement ring that Affleck got her.

Affleck continues to wear his wedding ring despite the physical distance from Lopez.
