Despite rumors that he is getting ready to file for divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck has been spotted out and about wearing his wedding band. According to insiders who spoke with In Touch, the actor is taking a calculated risk to keep things from getting too complicated.
“Ben never thought J. Lo would support his decision to go. He was aware that it would be difficult for her, but as time has passed, he has grown increasingly concerned about her reaction when it is finally over, according to a source.
“The way she has insisted on them wearing their rings, engaged in extensive damage control, and thrown a massive fit over him moving his stuff out has made him extremely anxious,” they continued.
The Reason Ben Won’t Remove His Wedding Ring
Though there have been months of rumors, Ben and Jen have not confirmed their reports. Rumors were fueled when it was recently disclosed that they had listed their $68 million mammoth house for sale. According to the insider, Lopez is the one keeping their breakup from being widely known.
They claimed that J.Lo “is not going away quietly” and that she has been becoming more and more agitated as the situation has continued, making it obvious that she still wants him to play the game in the same way that she does.
Lopez still wants to pretend to be married for the cameras, they continued. The insider continued, “She wants him to wear the ring and still act like a married man until this divorce is final.” “Ben is trying to spend as much time away from her as possible because he simply cannot handle another altercation with her. He’s always on edge, never sure when she’s going to lose it.
J. Lo is Allegedly Getting What She Wants to Hear From Ben
Jen might be the one who expects Ben to keep his ring on, but according to the source, he’s only doing it to maintain peace, not in the hopes of making amends.
She seems to be making every effort to capture his interest. They went on, “She would rather argue than be ignored.” “Ben’s attempting to make her laugh by wearing the ring and acting as polite as he can toward others, but it doesn’t hide the fact that he’s genuinely kind of scared of how difficult it seems for her to let go.”
When Ben and Jen first announced their engagement in November 2002, they were hailed by the press as one of Hollywood’s most attractive pairs. But because of the immense media and public scrutiny surrounding their romance, they had to call off their September 2003 wedding only a few days before it was scheduled. The couple separated formally in January 2004.
Both went on to date other people; Lopez wed Marc Anthony in June 2004 and gave birth to twins Max and Emme in 2008. After Affleck wed Jennifer Garner in June 2005, the couple welcomed three kids into their family: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Unexpectedly, almost two decades after their first engagement, Affleck and Lopez reignited their affair in 2021. In July 2022, they tied the knot in a secret ceremony that united their families, yet rumors continue to surface that their relationship may not be formally over.
