The pair’s marriage has been plagued with ongoing split rumors and sources close to the couple are weighing in on the discourse.
The “Let’s Get Loud” hitmaker, 54, and the Oscar winner, 51, have been “taking some space” to determine whether the relationship “is right for both of them,” a source told Us Weekly on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the “Argo” actor apparently “doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle” and feels “worn down” by the marriage, the insider said, adding that the father of three has been “checked out.”
The source added that the duo, who tied the knot in 2022, are on “two completely different pages most of the time,” and that their “honeymoon phase has worn off.”
“Both have demanding careers that often require them to be in different cities,” the insider added.
J.Lo has reportedly begun to “ramp up her work commitments” and prepping for her upcoming “This Is Me… Live” tour, which kickstarts next month.
“She’s very focused on work and overextends herself,” the insider told the outlet, but added that the pair have been apart for contrasting work obligations.
This “highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them,” they added.
“Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments,” the source said. “They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict.”
What’s more, insiders claim that the pair have different approaches to parenting and finances, which has subsequently “exacerbated” their marital woes.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Lopez and Affleck for comment.
Earlier this month, a source told Page Six exclusively that Affleck has “come to his senses” about the pair’s marriage.
The pair first sparked split rumors when the “On The Floor” hitmaker showed up to the 2024 Met Gala without him — despite serving as one of the event’s co-chairs.
A week later, TMZ reported that the pair were living separately.
In a separate interview with AP News she revealed that she had “pared down” her schedule in the past “few years” in an attempt to “slow down more and be home more.”
Instead, the Grammy nominee has only “been doing things that are really exciting” or “inspiring” to her as opposed to “doing just everything.”
Lopez explained, “That’s what I used to do a lot of. This, this, this, this.”
“That’s the truth,” the performer, 54, continued in the May 20 red carpet interview. “As much as it seems like I’m going at a fever pace all the time, I’m actually at half the pace that I was a few years ago.”
Social media users called the interview an example of the “fundamental difference between” Lopez and Affleck, 51, amid rampant split speculation.
“She’s constantly doing something,” a fan tweeted of the couple’s “very different personalities.”
Affleck has now “come to his senses” about their “fever dream” marriage, a source told Page Six earlier this month, claiming the actor “understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
