Meanwhile, sources tell PEOPLE that the tension in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage has a lot to do with how they both approach their fame. “They just have very different approaches when it comes to attracting media attention,” said one insider. “Ben hates all the attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer always has a different approach.”
The source also said that Ben Affleck has “always been impressed” with Jennifer Lopez and her work ethic. However, “always sharing her life is not his way.” “While he admires that about her, it doesn’t make him happy and causes tension in his life and subsequently hers,” the source points out. “There is no doubt that their different styles clash with each other.” Another source later said that Jennifer Lopez “needed that expression” to become famous. However, Ben Affleck was not comfortable with her approach. “After a while, it causes tension in the relationship,” the insider explained. “He is 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.”
