Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were reportedly spotted out “holding hands” and “kissing” amidst reports of divorce.
We previously reported that Jen and Ben are officially over. The Neighborhood Talk, reported that Ben filed for divorce. “It’s really unhealthy for him to be around any kind of alcohol. And with J. Lo, the drinking came with parties, surrounded by fake people who treated him special because of his fame, which was a trigger for him,” the source said.
The source continues: “The marriage is now incredibly overwhelming – J.Lo lives a very glam lifestyle, and he is often faced with temptation. He’s risking sobriety in that environment and he has to leave to avoid his worse nightmare — relapse.” The person added, “He’s moving on. His plate is full. That’s just how Ben deals with adversity now that he’s committed to staying sober: He buckles down and focuses on the work. He’s not looking back.”
The two haven’t been spotted together publicly since the filing- until now. “Ben and JLo are currently at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel holding hands and kissing,” a source told Page Six. “The kids are with them, but at a separate table.”
Jennifer Lopez SpeaKS:
The news of separation came as a surprise to fans as Lopez previously said, “I feel even more relaxed and comfortable, which makes me feel even more beautiful than I have ever felt with someone else,” when speaking about her estranged husband.
The two got married in a private wedding ceremony in 2022. When asked if she thinks the marriage is going to last, she expressed, “I think you always go in with the best of intentions every single time that you ever leap into anything,” the performer said while chuckling. “I do anyway, not just in my personal life but in my professional life, too.”
“I think, you know, he sees me as an artist, and he knows that I’m going to express myself, and he’s always just, he’s my biggest fan and my biggest supporter as I am of his, which I’m so glad to be here tonight,” Lopez gushed.
