Ben Affleck is reportedly pushing for a divorce from Jennifer Lopez , after branding the marriage a ‘fever dream’. Amid split rumors, PageSix claims Affleck, 51, is ready to end his two-year marriage, even claiming the decision to get married was due to ‘temporary insanity’. A source told the site that the Oscar-winning Argo star has ‘come to his senses’ after being so in love with the 54-year-old Atlas actress that he couldn’t think straight. Although he was spotted spending private time with Lopez in recent days, he now feels his mind is ‘clear’ and can move on.

“If there was a way to get a divorce on the grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it,” a PageSix source said. ‘He feels as though the last two years have been just a fever dream, and now he’s come to his senses and understands that this isn’t going to work.’ People also made statements on Monday about their unsuitability when it comes to public attention, but their source insisted that they will persevere because they have a ‘great love story’. The two are also looking at new homes after they bought a $60 million mansion together last year, although a source told PageSix that Lopez’s home is only for ‘investment purposes’. 

Fans started to notice something wasn’t right with the power couple after they hadn’t been photographed together in nearly two months.
Still, the couple have busy careers: he’s filming The Account in Los Angeles and she’s co-chairing the Met Gala in New York City. Headlines claiming they were on the rocks were circulating everywhere. But then Lopez was suddenly seen smiling at her husband while his daughter Seraphina was performing in a school play last week. Ben didn’t seem very excited.

They were spotted hanging out together again over the weekend when he drove to a Soho House garage in Los Angeles. He’s holding a cell phone that says Jennifer Affleck on the front; It’s unclear if he was holding her cell phone or if he was calling her from his phone even though she was sitting right next to him. This time they smiled and seemed more in sync. Both were wearing wedding rings.

The two have a complicated history. They first fell in love on the set of the movie Gigli and got engaged but broke up in 2004. They got back together in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 before having a big ceremony later in Georgia. Eyebrows were raised when she wrote about their love in the film This Is Me… Now, when he appeared, and she was seen melting down with him in the accompanying documentary titled Great Love Story greatest ever.

In the documentary, he made it clear that he did not like his wife sharing old love letters. He also addressed their different approaches to fame: ‘Getting back together, I said, “Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a social media relationship.” Then I realized that it was unfair to ask. It’s like being married to a sea captain and you say, “Well, I don’t like the water.”‘ Together they raised his children with Garner – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – as well as her two children with Marc Anthony – twins Max and Emme.

People also made statements on Monday about their inappropriateness in the spotlight. “They just have very different approaches when it comes to attracting media attention,” a source said. ‘Ben hates all the attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer always has a different approach.” It was added that sharing too much about his personal life is not ‘his way’. ‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and subsequently hers. There’s no doubt their different styles clash,’ the source added. A third source, from the music world, relayed: ‘She needed that expression but Affleck was simply uncomfortable with it. After a while it causes tension in the relationship.

‘He’s more introverted and private. She loves opening up to her fans and to the world. This sets them apart significantly and makes day-to-day relationships difficult.” The People source is more optimistic than the Page Six source, saying they will keep trying. ‘There were always conflicts in their styles, the way they solved problems and their actions, but nothing could stop their love over the years. This is a great love story,’ the insider shared.
