Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly going through a rough patch in their marriage. The couple, known as “Bennifer” by fans, have been dealing with divorce rumors left and right. The duo haven’t made any public statements about the speculation of their split. However, they are going to great lengths to ensure that their blended family is as unharmed as possible in the wake of all the tabloid drama.
According to ET, Jennifer Lopez is putting on a brave face and creating a united front with her husband, Ben Affleck, as far as their kids are concerned. JLo has two children of her own, twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, Affleck is the father of three kids, Violet, Fin, and Samuel, whose mother is Jennifer Garner. The couple allegedly hopes that their kids will come out of the drama unscathed, as they’re doing all they can to protect them during this difficult time.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Can at Least Agree on One Thing
“Jen and Ben have been trying to focus on their loved ones while spending time apart,” an insider tells the outlet. “Jen and Ben are both keeping their kids and respective families at the forefront of their minds as they move through these changes. They’re trying to present themselves in a positive way for their kids.”
Meanwhile, behind closed doors, things may not be so sunny for the pair. Lopez’s love for attention and the spotlight is allegedly one of the reasons the couple is struggling. Meanwhile, Affleck likes to separate work and his personal life, which allegedly isn’t something the JLo isn’t great at doing.
“Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman,” says a source. “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. She’s tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job. She is her brand, she lives and breathes it while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to,” the informant continued.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage may be in jeopardy. However, they are still reportedly putting their family first. Meanwhile, their kids are said to be upset about their parent’s reported split and are ready to help them work through their differences.
Only time will tell if Ben Affleck will ever be able to settle his problems with Jennifer Lopez. However, if the kids get their way, the pair will eventually get back on track.
