Jennifer Lopez has recently faced criticism, being labeled as "desperate" for reportedly "clinging" to her relationship with Ben Affleck amidst swirling rumors of an impending split.

According to Radar Online, there are reports that the 54-year-old actress and singer is determined to salvage the marriage, especially as her career appears to be at a standstill.

Cindy Adams of The New York Post also said Lopez is clinging to marriage with Affleck in an attempt to avoid public embarrassment.

Adams also noted Lopez's professional challenges, stating that Lopez is agitated with the fact that her career is slowing down, given the plethora of younger talents in both the acting and music scenes.

Interestingly, just last month, it was reported that Jennifer Lopez is urging Ben Affleck to have a baby with her. While Affleck is not as keen with the idea as Lopez, he's willing to do it just to keep her happy.

A source exclusively reveals to Life & Style that the pop star has been urging her husband, Ben Affleck, to consider having a baby via surrogate - and claims that she has "finally persuaded him to agree."

After their romance in the early 2000s ended with a broken engagement, the two went on to have a total of five children (with their respective exes, Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony). Following their divorces and other significant relationships, the couple reignited their romance in 2021 and tied the knot the following year in Georgia.

Meanwhile, Affleck was recently observed attending his daughter's graduation party in Los Angeles, with no sign of Lopez in attendance.

The 51-year-old actor reportedly seemed "downcast" upon his arrival at Violet's graduation party in LA on Monday, as per Daily Mail. Adding intrigue to the situation, Affleck was observed wearing his wedding ring.

Radar Online earlier reported the speculation surrounding the purportedly faltering marriage between Lopez and Affleck arose earlier this month, sparked by their absence from public appearances together since March.

Sources later hinted at a significant development, revealing that Affleck had "moved out" of the couple's lavish Beverly Hills estate, valued at over $60 million, and relocated to a solo residence in Brentwood.

Despite later reuniting for one of Fin Affleck's school productions on May 16, Lopez and Affleck reportedly arrived separately and displayed minimal signs of enthusiasm upon seeing each other.

Affleck was notably absent from the premiere of Lopez's latest film, Netflix's Atlas, just a few days later.

Another insider, exclusively speaking to Life & Style, reveals that the couple has encountered a rough patch amidst Jennifer's recent career setbacks.

Not only did her 2024 album, This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, and documentary, This Is Me ... Now, fail to meet expectations, but also her ex Sean "Diddy" Combs has garnered headlines following accusations of drug trafficking, rape, sexual misconduct, and human trafficking.
