Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Marriage 'Ground Rules' Revealed, Divorce Buzz Baseless

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have ignited speculation about a potential divorce. However, sources close to the couple vehemently refute these claims.

A source familiar with the couple said they value giving each other ample space, which serves as a cornerstone of their marriage, as reported by The Sun.

Insiders claim to the outlet that the strength of their marriage far exceeds any physical distance between them. Lopez and Affleck cultivate a dynamic that sustains their marriage by valuing independence and granting each other ample personal space. According to reports, the music icon and the acclaimed actor have established specific rules to uphold the sanctity of their marriage.

According to one source, "The ground rules are, [Lopez and Affleck] are allowed to go off and do projects, appearances, and work that completely don't involve each other and definitely involve spending weeks at a time apart."

"These are passionate people who love to work, both of them, and love to bet on themselves and the teams they have assembled around themselves over the course of decades."

Meanwhile, another source debunked the rumors surrounding Lopez's solo performance at the Met, revealing, that the main rule in their marriage is their mutual understanding of the importance of personal space when new opportunities arise.

The source added, "They are independent people who don't need to be with one another 24/7 like some Hollywood couples do."

Those familiar with the situation observed that the lack of a companion for the "All I Have" singer on the red carpet did not bother people close to the couple, as they recognized the recurring trend.

"[Lopez] doing the Met Gala and [Affleck] doing the Brady Roast doesn't look weird to people who know them," according to the source.

They elaborated, "Even in times of success, they afford each other ample independence. Though [Affleck] provided financial backing for [Lopez's] upcoming film Unstoppable, his physical presence on set was minimal, to say the least."

Even though their shared living arrangements do not affect their marriage, the source underscored how their contrasting personalities could create issues in their relationship.

Per the source, "The fundamental difference between them is that [Lopez] has an incredible golden optimism about every situation and [Affleck] sees everything - and I mean everything - in his life as a problem that only he can solve."

"She's good at ignoring little, insignificant stuff and focusing on the big picture, and he isn't."

At the forefront of attention is Lopez's current challenge in her music career - the struggle to fill stadiums for her This Is Me Tour. Despite the hurdles, the mom-of-two remains composed and hopeful for a positive resolution amidst the negative publicity she receives.

"But [Lopez] can handle doing twenty crisis meetings in one day, and it's a lot harder for [Affleck] to do that because he has to blow off steam and check in with himself more."

"That's not changing any time soon, it's who they are."

Similarly, another insider emphasized their contrasting viewpoints and shared with Us Weekly, "They are on two completely different pages most of the time."
