Jennifer Lopez Annoyed by Ben Affleck's 'Sympathy Points' Over Divorce Talks

Jennifer Lopez is facing a difficult period in her life with professional and personal challenges.

Sources suggest the 54-year-old icon is taking time to recover after calling off her upcoming tour because of lackluster ticket sales and dealing with rumored marital troubles with her husband, Ben Affleck.

Due to this, they claimed Lopez's confidence took a hit when her music album flopped, and attendance at her live performances fell short of projections.

Adding to the disappointment, her dream-like relationship with the 51-year-old Hollywood actor has unraveled since exchanging vows in 2022, reigniting a love story that started in the early 2000s.

According to a source who spoke to Star magazine (via OK), "She's going about her usual business with the attitude that this is just a temporary hitch."

"She still thinks she and [Affleck] are meant to be together and the feeling is she's just tolerating this unpleasantness until Ben realizes the same thing."

With speculations of marital troubles, there are indications that Lopez is choosing to maintain a positive outlook despite the challenges.

According to an insider, the "All I Have" singer is staying optimistic and avoiding any perception of being the "villain" in the divorce situation.

Lopez and Affleck's opinions on work-life balance leave the duo at odds, yet the Hustlers actress is said to have tried to share her perspective with her husband.

Another source, via In Touch, "[Lopez] has a big entourage that follows her around daily - glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers."

"She's tried to make [Affleck] understand that being [Jennifer Lopez] is a 24/7 job. She is her brand; she lives and breathes it while [Affleck] can leave his work at the door if he chooses to."

Recently, there have been sightings of Affleck spending time with his children, while Lopez has been dedicated to her professional endeavors. The source said the Maid In Manhattan star is receiving strong support from her circle to remain resilient and focused.

"[Lopez] doesn't begrudge him spending time with his kids. But she doesn't think it's fair he's getting 'sympathy points' for it."

The "Get Right" singer is reportedly frustrated that her husband has not made any efforts to address the rumors about their relationship ending.

"She could say a lot. Like how [Affleck] shares the blame for the state their marriage is in now. It takes two to tango. It also takes two to mess up a relationship."
