In an era dominated by instant messaging and social media, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is surprisingly feeling the power of handwritten love letters. According to sources, this traditional form of communication is playing a vital role in mending the couple’s dying union. Recall that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reunited in 2021, nearly two decades after splitting in 2004. After dating for some months, the pair tied the knot in 2022, hoping to spend forever together. Sadly, two years into their marriage, rumors of a crisis in their union began making the rounds. To make matters worse, sources speculated that the couple was heading for divorce. Those rumors intensified after the couple didn’t appear together in public for a while.
A few months after the rumors dominated the headlines, Lopez and her man seem keen on fixing their marriage. Recently, a source revealed the duo had turned to pen and paper to express their deepest feelings for each other. They are also using the medium to address the issues in their marriage. “Jen and Ben agreed it is best to take some time apart so they can figure out what it is that they want,” a source told Daily Mail. The insider noted that Lopez and Affleck had already decided to walk away from their marriage, as divorce papers were ready to be filed. However, the couple decided to give each other another chance before throwing in the towel.
“They wanted to give it one last go before walking away from this and are going back to the beginning by writing each other letters. This is what made them fall in love in the first place,” the insider shared.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck banking on love letters to reignite the fire in their marriage isn’t shocking. Recall that when the lovebirds reunited in 2021, the actor gifted Lopez a book containing every love note and email he had written to her in the past. The singer gave the public a glimpse of the sweet letters in her film The Greatest Love Story Never Told. However, this time, the insider says Lopez will keep the recently-written letters private. It remains unknown if Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage will survive the current storm. However, the source revealed that things look promising. Fingers crossed!
