Divorce brings more than just the division of belongings; it also affects friendships. This is currently the case for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, particularly involving their connections with the Beckhams. A report from InStyle states that Affleck has become quite close to Victoria and David Beckham, which is upsetting for Lopez. She shares a strong bond with Victoria, having been friends when married to Marc Anthony. Despite drifting apart over the years, Lopez values their friendship, making Affleck’s new closeness with David a point of contention.
Reports suggest that Affleck and David recently collaborated on a beer commercial alongside their mutual friend Matt Damon. This newfound camaraderie has raised Lopez’s suspicions, leading her to believe that Affleck is trying to get under her skin. An insider commented, “She feels like he’s deliberately trying to provoke her by suddenly engaging with her old friends, a move he never made during their relationship, despite her past suggestions.” It has left her feeling that Affleck is opportunistically trying to reclaim her friends to stir her emotions.
J.Lo suspects Ben Affleck may be undergoing a midlife crisis
As Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck navigate their rekindled romance amidst personal challenges, Lopez has begun to wonder whether Affleck is experiencing a midlife crisis. She points to his dramatic style changes, like his shaved head and rockstar attire, as possible indicators of this crisis as he attempts to reinvent himself after their divorce. A body language expert remarked to The Mirror US that Affleck’s look suggests he might be embracing a new “liberated masculinity” during this turbulent time.
A source informed Closer that Lopez perceives Affleck as feeling very lost and in need of help, noting his disengagement from their previous closeness following their split. Affleck’s state of mind is believed to have contributed to their separation due to his apparent neglect for shared commitments, such as forgetting their anniversary. Meanwhile, rumors suggest Lopez may also be embarking on her own new beginnings, as whispers circulate regarding her connection with a new, attractive bodyguard.
