Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been apart for around six months. Discussions regarding their divorce and the possibility of reconciliation have affected everyone, especially Ben.
Insiders suggest that Affleck feels trapped by the ongoing discussions about their breakup, especially after JLo recently expressed her feelings. “Ben understands she will continue to address the split indefinitely,” a source revealed.
In a magazine interview, Jennifer Lopez described her emotions surrounding the breakup as “sad” and “scary.” Affleck was reportedly caught off guard by her decision to speak publicly, which has made things difficult for him.
Surprised and Overwhelmed
Though Ben has been accepting of how she handles the situation, he didn’t expect her to go public about their relationship. He was genuinely taken by surprise even with her history of speaking out.
“He wishes she wouldn’t discuss their breakup, but he believes she will always share her side,” noted a source. “He wasn’t informed in advance about her plans to speak out, yet he anticipated it at some point. It’s part of his life now, and he cannot escape it.”
After facing challenges in their marriage, Jennifer Lopez officially initiated divorce proceedings against Ben Affleck on August 20. This move came after several months of speculation about the decline of their relationship. Just days prior, they had been spotted together, appearing close, but not in a way that suggested they might reconcile.
