The Bennifer saga is nearing its end, as all signs seemingly point to a divorce for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. The journey thus far hasn’t been pretty for either party, with both grieving in their own ways. Not to mention all this publicity with two massive celebrities preparing to separate must be an absolute nightmare for Affleck’s children. Everyone, from social media followers to relationship experts, seems to have their own opinion on why Bennifer is no longer working out. One particular Canadian TV personality believes that the reason is that Ben has spent way too much time with JLo.
Howie Mandel recently appeared on an episode of the Domenick Nati Show and stated that, whenever Ben Affleck spent time with Jennifer Lopez, his troubled face was a clear sign that Bennifer was spiraling out of control.
“Like they spend a lot of time together, and every time you see them together, you see the looks on his face that they capture.”

Radio Host Domenick Nati responds to Mandel, “So he just needs some separation from her.” While such a concept is so simple, it might be the answer to why JLo cannot save her marriage with Affleck, regardless of how hard she tries. Ben has been showing symptoms of extreme stress, which has taken a severe toll on the mental health of him and his children, making his fans and those following the situation concerned for his well-being.
While there are clear signs that JLo does want to keep her relationship with Affleck, she has been accused of not being much of a help, particularly with her racy behavior. Twitter users said that her “her desperation for attention and former glory is getting tiresome” and that it’s hard to “blame Ben for not wanting to participate in this. [It] must be awful living like that.”
Before Howie Mandel began playing ‘cupid’ to help Domenick Nati connect with his ex-wife, the TV personality gave some closing thoughts about the Bennifer divorce situation:
“Speaking for JLo, I think people both get married and separate too easily.”

While it’s hard to say everyone 100% knows the entire story behind Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage situation and how it ultimately led to this inevitable divorce, Mandel’s words do hold truth. Ben and JLo might not have thought things through when deciding to share their wedding vows back in 2022. Now, they’re paying the price.
