J. Lo and Affleck’s Relationship Hits a Rough Patch
Jennifer Lopez, renowned singer and actress, is reportedly feeling ‘humiliated’ following Ben Affleck’s cold attitude and distant behavior. According to a report in Life & Style magazine on August 14, the couple’s relationship seems to be heading for stormy weather after their relationship recently took a negative turn.
Known affectionately as ‘Bennifer’ by their fans, the pair’s relationship is reportedly causing concern among their friends and acquaintances. “It’s mystifying how things have become so toxic,” remarked a source cited by the magazine. The same source added that Jennifer believes Affleck is acting like an “insensitive brat” and hopes he will step up his game and treat her with more respect.
The Decline of ‘Bennifer’
There was a noticeable shift in Affleck’s behavior a few weeks ago, according to an insider. The Hollywood actor allegedly became a lot colder towards Lopez and now the communication between them is mostly through their lawyers. This has left J.Lo feeling humiliated.
Despite these challenges, however, the “On The Floor” singer was seen going to Affleck’s rented house in Brentwood, California twice after August 11. During her first visit, she brought Affleck’s son Samuel to the mall and visited the house of Affleck’s ex-spouse, Jennifer Garner. She surprised Affleck again during her second visit by turning up on his 52nd birthday.
Is Affleck ‘Gaslighting’ J. Lo?
The term ‘gaslighting’ has been flying around among J.Lo’s friends. They feel that Affleck is manipulating her by trivializing her feelings. The source insists that Affleck’s disregard for their anniversary, including her birthday, while trying to shield her, has left a bitter taste in Lopez’s mouth.
However, Affleck sees things from a different angle. He reportedly feels that he has tried his best to be considerate towards Lopez, suggesting that she’s having a hard time accepting the harsh reality of their situation.
Missed Milestones Stir Rumors
The couple, despite being married for two years, has not confirmed a potential split. Yet, their conspicuous absence from several key events has added fuel to the speculations. Affleck did not accompany Lopez to her Netflix movie “Atlas” premiere, missed the Met Gala, and was not around for the couple’s 2nd anniversary. He was also absent from J.Lo’s “Bridgerton” themed birthday party and several holiday trips.
Nevertheless, the couple remains tight-lipped about their relationship status, leaving us all to speculate until they decide to break their silence. As they say, where there is smoke, there could be a fire. Until an official statement is made, ‘Bennifer’ fans will have to sit tight and hope for the best.
