Jennifer Lopez is determined to stay married to Ben Affleck and, if they do split, she’s ready to make a big statement. Let’s dive into what’s happening with this high-profile couple who tied the knot less than two years ago.
Back in 2004, when Jennifer and Ben ended their two-year romance, Ben’s rep said, “We don’t want to get dragged into quicksand. Everybody wants a war. It’s not happening from our side.” Now, fans are once again eager to know what’s going on with Bennifer as rumors of their separation swirl.
Neither Jennifer nor Ben has confirmed or denied these rumors, but reports suggest they are currently living apart. Despite this, they have been seen together recently, supporting their children and presenting a united front.
Jennifer and Ben don’t have kids together, but they share a blended family. Jennifer has 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Ben has three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Fin (formerly Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12.
In May, the couple had a chilly reunion at Fin’s school play, and later, Jennifer showed up for Samuel’s graduation. On Father’s Day, Jennifer even posted a sweet tribute to Ben on her Instagram story. She shared a black-and-white photo of Ben from his 2001 film Pearl Harbor, with the words, “Our Hero. Happy Father’s Day.”
‘Imminent Split’
Despite these public shows of support, TMZ claims that a split between Bennifer is “imminent.” However, the Daily Mail reports that Jennifer is fully committed to saving her marriage.
“She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice, including giving up being J.Lo. She doesn’t want to be divorced,” a source reveals.
But if things don’t work out with Ben, Jennifer is ready to move on and make a big comeback. An insider says she’s “hell-bent on exacting revenge” and is going all out with her fitness and beauty routine.
Revenge Body
Known for her strict diet and exercise regime, Jennifer surprised fans by indulging in junk food with Ben, who loves fast food.
“She ate junk food with him just to show she could be the gal he wanted,” the insider says. “Ben always criticized her for her over-the-top workout routine, so she slowed down on that too and ended up really resenting him for it.”
Now, Jennifer is back to her intense workouts. “She’s up every morning doing lunges and squats, sweating her butt off at the gym. She’s going to use this summer to get in the best shape of her life with a hyper diet of lean protein and salads and no junk whatsoever,” the source explains.
Jennifer is also considering some cosmetic procedures. “The idea of being back on the dating scene at her age has got her pretty freaked out. There’s so much that docs can do these days, so why not get some help?” the source adds. “She wants to look better than ever so Ben sees what he’s missing.”
Affleck Looks ‘Visibly Gaunt’
Meanwhile, Ben seems to be feeling the strain. Dr. Robert Dorfman, an aesthetic and regenerative specialist, comments that Ben looks stressed.
“He looks gaunt and has visibly aged. He’s going through a rough time right now and looks very stressed,” says Dr. Dorfman, who hasn’t treated Ben.
“I think we’ve all been there at some point in our lives. Ben Affleck kind of let himself go.”
He adds that it’s important for Ben to “get back into his normal routine.”
