Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this month. Since then, rumors have been running wild about what caused the couple to split. The duo reunited nearly two decades after their original relationship ended. They tied the knot one year later, in 2022, and by their second wedding anniversary, they had called it quits. Now, claims that JLo’s hectic work schedule may have been to blame are surfacing.
According to The Daily Mail, Jennifer Lopez worked on a whopping eight different movies during her three-year relationship with Ben Affleck. Films such as Shotgun Wedding, Marry Me, The Mother, Atlas, and more. Filming and press were likely to often take her away from her husband and family.

However, she canceled the performances in order to spend time with her family and friends.
After pointing out all of the time that she was away for her multiple career responsibilities, some fans bashed Jennifer Lopez for spending too much time away from Ben Affleck and her children.
“She put money/career in front of her marriage,” one person commented.
“Should have focused on her family instead of trying to be relevant,” another stated.
“She’s got her PR team working hard to restore her image. We all witnessed the fiasco. Her career seems more important than anything and anyone,” a third comment read.
“Seems to be the only thing she didn’t work on was her marriage,” wrote another.
Jennifer Lopez cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her divorce from Ben Affleck. However, neither party has made any public statements about the end of their marriage. It’s likely that fans will never truly know what the real cause of their split was.
