A frustrated Jennifer Lopez has made the decision to remove Ben Affleck from her life, a new report claimed. The diva's excessive attempts to salvage their failing marriage were exposed by sources.
The 54-year-old singer was making a valiant effort to salvage her relationship with Ben after months-long breakup. An insider told RadarOnline that "she's hit a wall when it comes to fixing things because he just isn't reciprocating."
The couple, who got married in 2022 after breaking off their engagement, spent $60 million on a Beverly Hills mansion in June 2023. However, less than a year later, Ben allegedly dumped Jennifer and moved into a $100,000 per month apartment close to his 52-year-old ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
"At first JLo was willing to do anything to get him to come home, but it was just pointless," the informant said. "She's now telling friends she's over trying."
The tipster revealed that Jennifer has been trying to make things amicable for the benefit of the kids while maintaining a brave front in the face of their humiliating breakup.
Making this adjustment as simple as possible for them is a goal, the mole said, adding that Jennifer's 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, have "bonded" with Ben's kids, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Jennifer posted a Father's Day message for Ben on social media on June 16, referring to him as "our hero," but the insider claimed that the post was just intended to hide the tension between them.
"It's all about image right now, especially on her side, so posting that was calculated and not some sign they are working things out," the snitch explained.
"She's very clear she's given up hoping for a miracle," the spy added. "She's said it didn't work out but not going to miss his bad habits like his chain smoking and his junk food binges."
The Oscar-winning "Argo" filmmaker is frequently spotted frowning these days, and the source said that a "happy" Jennifer found his gloomy dispositions discouraging.
"She likes to look on the bright side and is generally in a good mood, but Ben was bringing her down," the insider said. "Everyone in her life thinks she's lucky to be free of him."
Jennifer is said to be suffering from embarrassing career losses as her "This Is Me... Now" album failed, in addition to divorce rumors. Critics and audiences alike panned the corresponding documentary on her now-collapsing relationship with Ben, and her tour's ticket sales were so poor that she was forced to call it off.
Nevertheless, according to Geo News, the informant stated that Jennifer is considering the future and determining her next course of action.
"She's reading scripts and been getting a ton of offers, which is a real bright spot in all of this. And she's spending a ton of time with her kids, just trying to make sure they come out of this okay."
After her divorce from the actor is finalized, the diva may move out of Los Angeles, according to a tipster close to her.
The mole claimed that although "these past few months have been humiliating," she is getting ready to move on after maintaining a "brave face" throughout the situation.
"She wants to do everything possible to shake off the sadness of this break-up as quickly as she can, so it makes perfect sense to get away from LA," the snitch continued.
Additionally, the spy stated that Jennifer might date Alex Rodriguez again.
"She's realised what a million jokes if she were to get back together with Alex, but she's not going to let the public dictate her love love. On her end, at least, the door is very much open," it claimed.
