Jennifer Lopez has continued to harbor feelings of longing for Ben Affleck in the aftermath of their two-year marriage. A new report claimed that she is driven to inquire about his activities in his absence by visiting him at unscheduled intervals. She remains obsessed with the memory of her former partner.
According to the source, while “she claims to be moving on from Ben, the truth is quite the opposite. She’s still totally obsessed with him and even has Google Alerts set up for his name, which is just beyond unhealthy.”
“Any time she sees their mutual friends, she steers the conversation to Ben. She often finds excuses to swing by his house, dropping off items just to linger and see what he’s up to. And anytime she talks to Matt Damon, it’s always about Ben," the insider further told In Touch Weekly.
For J. Lo, 55, her heart continues to ache. In an interview with Interview Magazine, she stated that her separation felt "like my whole f–king world exploded." However, Ben, 52, is trying to continue his life after the "Let's Get Loud" singer filed for divorce on August 18.
The actor who starred in "Gone Girl" has been secretly reconciling with his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, to co-parent their children. They attended an evening event with their 15-year-old child, Fin, that J. Lo participated in, along with Emme, 16, her child with her ex-Marc Anthony.
Although those who are in close contact with the stars acknowledge that these incidents are inevitable, a second source previously disclosed to In Touch Weekly that Ben found these encounters "awkward" and that "as far as Ben's concerned, it's better for them to keep separate lives as much as possible."
In addition, a different source verified that Ben is currently in the process of self-improvement following his divorce. According to People, the A-list actor is "very focused on work and his kids" and "staying busy and happy."
The first insider reports that pop icon J. Lo is unable to get over the memory of her ex, even though the Oscar-winning star is focusing on his upcoming projects, which include "The Accountant 2," which is scheduled for release in April 2025, and his next directorial venture, "Animals," with his closest friend Matt, 54.
Additionally, she has been seeking out composers to assist her in the development of a single following the release of her most recent album, "This Is Me..." Currently, a personal endeavor that was significantly influenced by her relationship with Ben debuted at a disappointing No. 38 on the Billboard Top 200.
“This whole music thing is all about Ben, too. Her songwriting sessions all revolve around their break-up and her pain,” the insider stated. “She is defensive about it and says she’s just channeling her heartbreak into her work, which all artists do.”
Nevertheless, the source observes that the singer of "Love Don't Cost a Thing" is "doing nothing to help her move on" as reality sets in for her divorce.
“As much as she talks a good game about moving forward, the truth is she’s still just as obsessed as ever. The way she’s mourning this break-up you’d think they’d been married for 20 years, not two," the tipster added.
