EXCLUSIVE: Ben Affleck ‘Depressed’ As Jennifer Lopez’s Alleged ‘Drama All The Time’ Caused Marital Woes: According to new reports, Ben Affleck’s inability to cope with Jennifer Lopez’s “drama” contributed to the breakdown of their marriage.
Lopez reportedly enjoys a bustling social scene with a large entourage, while Affleck prefers a quieter life. This difference placed a heavy strain on their romance.
Although Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are yet to file for divorce, many expect it to happen soon. As Affleck and Lopez’s marriage continues to be plagued with divorce rumors, a source has shared a potential reason why the couple might be considering calling it quits after just two years together.
The source told Ok Magazine that despite Lopez being Affleck’s “dream woman,” their marriage was filled with “drama all the time,” which contrasts with the “Batman” star’s preference for a quieter life. “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,” the insider claimed.
They continued, “Jennifer has a big entourage that follows her around daily — glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers,” and that Affleck wasn’t used to constantly having so many people around him. According to the source, Lopez tried to make Affleck see that being her is a “24/7 job” compared to how easy it is for him to “leave his work at the door if he chooses to.”
Unfortunately, the lifestyle difference just didn’t sit right with the Oscar winner. Amid their marital troubles, Lopez and Affleck stopped living together. The actor rented an apartment near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, to be closer to his children. Later, Affleck returned to move his belongings out of their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion while Lopez was on a trip to Europe. This reportedly “horrified” Lopez, as she felt insulted by the move.
“Jen was horrified when she came back and found out Ben had packed everything up while she was gone,” a source said about the actress, per Page Six. “As far as she’s concerned, a real slap in the face.” The 38,000-square-foot house has since been listed for nearly $8 million more than the couple paid when they purchased it.
It has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a separate 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, and other massive facilities for staff, recreation, and parking. The house was also renovated to the highest quality prior to being placed on the market.
