Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce is being dissected in the media. The singer filed for divorce earlier this week, yet the couple made no public statement about the end of their marriage. Sources now claim that JLo could no longer take being in a relationship with the Gone Girl actor, as being around him began to completely exhaust her. In addition, his attitude had become a problem for Lopez.
OK! Magazine reports that even though Jennifer Lopez was the one to file for divorce, it was Ben Affleck who gave up on the marriage first. Sources tell the outlet that JLo wanted to try to fix their marriage. However, Affleck showed no interest in doing so. Finally, the singer opted to throw in the towel on her marriage.

“He was impossible to be married to,” an insider told the outlet. “Friends think he is selfish, sullen, impossible to please most of the time and negative. She was constantly trying to lift his spirits, boost him up – it was exhausting,” the source continued. “He is a loudmouth, loves to hear himself talk and blusters on.”
Despite any ill feelings that Lopez and Affleck may have toward one another about how their marriage ended, they do have their children in mind. The informant revealed that the couple is trying their best to minimize any damage that their split may cause their blended family. JLo’s twins Max and Emme are said to have become very close to Affleck’s three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel.
Meanwhile, Affleck had made it clear that he was not a fan of Lopez’s high-profile lifestyle. However, the singer reportedly allegedly enjoys the fame and spotlight too much to let it go.
“What happened between their first engagement and this new marriage was social media and it has had a huge impact on her. JLo’s social presence has been a steady stream of fans loving her, praising her and she cannot give it up. She loves him, but she also loves this fake world of fame and attention,” another source claims.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce will likely remain a hot topic of conversation until it’s settled. Of course, their next dating partners will likely be under major scrutiny amid their very public split.
