The newest rumors making rounds is that a third party is the real reason why Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are facing an impending divorce right now. The third party? Affleck's ex, Jennifer Garner. However, a divorce attorney came forward to say that this is simply not true and that the relationship was doomed because of Lopez's one bad decision - the decision to not listen to Ben Affleck.
Delving into the complexities of celebrity relationships, Holly Davis, a divorce attorney and founding partner of Austin, Texas-based Kirker Davis LLP, emphasized the significant role that ignoring the advice of one's partner played in the demise of this particular couple's relationship.
While Lopez's decision to create a movie, album, and tour around their relationship might have seemed like a natural extension of her creative expression, the commercial failure of these endeavors may have strained the relationship further. More so when Affleck already told Lopez not to make their relationship into several products in the first place.
Davis highlighted the massive financial investment Lopez made in the project, personally out of her own bank account, suggesting that it might have exacerbated tensions within the relationship.
With the movie and album failing to resonate with audiences and Lopez facing challenges in selling tickets for her tour, Davis speculated on the strain it might have placed on the couple.
She particularly shared that Ben Affleck might be blaming Jennifer Lopez, and this is causing a lot of issues in their romance.
"If one person advised their partner against productizing their relationship but the other person didn't listen, and then the product flopped, there's a lot of blame and defensiveness to go around," Davis explained. "For Jennifer and Ben to be living in two separate homes, for her to be posting forced smiles on social media while canceling the world tour, all of this points to an identity crisis for Jennifer and maybe for Ben as well, and an identity crisis will always strain a marriage."
With Lopez's announcement of the cancellation of her tour to focus on her family on May 31, it's evident that the couple is facing significant challenges that may impact the trajectory of their romance.
Whispers of trouble in paradise between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck emerged in May, courtesy of an exclusive report from In Touch, which shed light on their alleged marital woes.
According to insiders, Affleck had made the decision to vacate their shared residence, sparking speculation that the couple was on the brink of a divorce.
"He's focusing on his work and his kids now," the insider revealed, hinting at Affleck's commitment to his professional endeavors and his responsibilities as a father.
Notably, the source absolved Affleck of any culpability in the unraveling of their marriage, suggesting that external factors may have contributed to their issues.
Ultimately, the insider expressed skepticism about the long-term viability of Lopez and Affleck's union, suggesting that their fundamental differences may have spelled doom for their marriage.
"There's no way it could have lasted," the source concluded, hinting at the inevitability of their impending separation.
