Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have always been in the spotlight, and since their much-publicized split, Affleck is reportedly feeling anxious. A source has indicated that he’s unsettled by Lopez‘s increasing interest in spiritual practices, which has left him questioning what this might mean for their future.
Their rekindled love story captured many hearts, yet the reality of their breakup a few months ago was unexpected. They are now co-parenting a blended family, with Lopez having two children from a former relationship and Affleck with three kids from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. However, this arrangement has complicated their personal lives even further.
One significant issue has arisen from the sale of their luxurious marital home. They had put it on the market for an incredible $68 million, but when the buyer backed out at the last minute, the stars found themselves stuck with the costly property. This complication has added further strain as they sort through the division of their shared assets.
Although legal separation has begun, it’s reported that there is no prenuptial agreement, resulting in both Affleck and Lopez seeking mediation to navigate the complexities of their combined wealth, estimated at around $550 million. With rumors swirling about the breakup’s motivations—one being Lopez’s displeasure over Affleck’s interactions with Garner—the pressure is mounting.
Amidst unresolved financial matters, another layer of concern has emerged regarding Affleck’s discomfort about Lopez’s focus on spiritual practices.
Reports of Lopez‘s spiritual leanings began circulating prior to the breakup, with suggestions that she turned to her faith for guidance. Recently, these spiritual interests have reportedly deepened since their separation. A source noted her impressive abilities in manifesting outcomes and a growing engagement with mystical practices.
Though Affleck generally maintains a calm demeanor, those close to him reveal he has a superstitious side. He often downplays this publicly, joking about needing to stay friendly with Lopez to avoid bad luck, but there’s an underlying anxiety concerning her spiritual pursuits.
Previous Accusations Add Uncertainty
Compounding Affleck’s worries, Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, has accused her of employing Santeria—a spiritual practice included chants and rituals—to cast spells during their short-lived marriage in the late ’90s. Noa claims Lopez bestowed curses on him and other former partners. While such accusations are often dismissed as implausible, they have reportedly unsettled Affleck, especially considering Lopez’s renewed spiritual journey.
While it’s unclear if Lopez is genuinely involved in supernatural activities, the speculation around her spiritual beliefs is surely causing Affleck distress. Despite skepticism from some quarters, insiders suggest he is cautious, wishing to remain on positive terms with her.
Considering all that has unfolded—the failed real estate deal and the swirling rumors about spiritual practices—it’s evident there is much more to this narrative, and Affleck may be grappling with the emotional burden of it more than anyone understands.
