Despite the fact that Ben Affleck is avoiding his wife Jennifer Lopez like the plague, he is nevertheless occasionally seen wearing the ring that he acquired for his wedding. Because he is terrified to death of being fully destroyed by her in an all-out divorce struggle, he has not completely abandoned the ring, a new report claimed.
“Ben never expected J. Lo to embrace his decision to leave. He knew it would be tough for her, but the more time that’s gone on the more fearful he’s gotten about how she’s going to react once it’s officially done. The way she’s insisted on them wearing their rings and doing all this damage control, to her huge fit over him moving his stuff out, has got him really anxious,” an unnamed source told In Touch Weekly.
The anonymous insider said that Jennifer, who is 54 years old, is "not going away quietly" and has been "acting increasingly edgy the longer this drags out and making it very clear that she still expects him to play the game just like she's doing."
“Until this divorce is final, she wants him to wear the ring and still act like a married man. Ben’s getting as much time away from her as he can because he just doesn’t want to deal with another fight. He’s walking on eggshells and never knows when she’s going to blow up,” the informant furthered.
While Jennifer appears to be content with conflict, Ben, who is 51 years old, is unable to deal with it at the moment. “It’s like she’s doing all she can to get his attention. She’d rather argue than be ignored Ben’s trying to humor her by putting the ring on and saying the most respectful things he can to people about her, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s actually pretty freaked out by how hard it seems to be for her to let go,” the tipster claimed.
“It’s obvious this is going to turn into a drawn out fight and Ben’s living in fear of how far she’ll take it. And truth be told, he should be watching his back because everyone knows you don’t mess with J. Lo and get away with it, she’s not going to take this lightly,” the mole furthered.
When a second insider revealed to In Touch that Ben and Jennifer were "on the verge of getting a divorce" in May, rumors began to circulate that there was trouble in paradise.
Despite the fact that they have not made any public statements regarding the state of their relationship, the actor from “Gone Girl” has given a number of indications that their marriage is no longer going strong by choosing not to wear his wedding band on multiple occasions, as Business Times previously reported. However, Jennifer has been putting forward the narrative that everything is fine by spending a significant amount of time with Ben's children on a daily basis, OK Magazine reported.
In light of the problems that they are experiencing, an additional insider revealed to In Touch that the singer of "On the Floor" is determined to improve herself.
“Jennifer is just focused on getting her body back into the best shape possible and her career back on track with new projects and being the best mom she can be. She’s also making a concerted effort to improve her public image. It’s no secret that she can be quite the diva, but she also has a very down to earth side and wants to highlight that,” the tattler suggested.
Both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have yet to address the ongoing divorce speculations. So, avid followers of the Hollywood pair should take all these unverified reports with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
