Jennifer Lopez Not Ben Affleck's Top Priority, Relationship Expert Says

Witnesses saw Ben Affleck enjoying quality time with his son, at the same time, his wife, Jennifer Lopez, went on a trip to Italy.

According to an expert, the Batman v. Superman actor's focus is his family first.

Amid ongoing divorce rumors, the couple's marriage has been scrutinized recently, with speculations circulating for weeks.

Affleck was seen in several locations around Los Angeles, accompanied by his son Samuel, whom he co-parents with his former wife, Jennifer Garner.

Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggests that the star's public appearances with his son may indicate possible challenges within his marriage to Lopez.

She told The Mirror, "[Affleck] staying in LA with his kids could also be a sign that he wants to prioritize his family and spend more time with them."

"This could signal that he may not be as invested in the marriage or may be struggling with finding a balance between his personal life and relationship."

Alderson added that the gone Girl star's decision to reside in LA with his children may suggest a temporary focus on individual lives rather than actively addressing marital challenges alongside the "Jenny From the Block" singer.

However, the expert proposed that the period of separation might serve as a positive experience for Bennifer.

"Spending time away from your partner can actually be healthy for a relationship. It allows for individual growth and self-reflection, which can ultimately benefit the relationship in the long run."

This comes after Affleck opened up about his experiences navigating a relationship with Lopez, shedding light on the challenges of being with a high-profile superstar like his wife.

In an interview on the Hart to Heart podcast hosted by Kevin Hart, Affleck shared insights into the transformation that occurred following his marriage to Lopez in 2022.

One notable change was the massive increase in attention that Affleck started to get.

"She's so famous, and she creates this-people love her. And she really represents something important to people."

Being on the spotlight hasn't always come naturally to Affleck, he confessed.

In the podcast discussion, he opened up about the challenges of dealing with the constant scrutiny, acknowledging how it often resulted in his infamous "b---h face" persona.

"I also don't like a lot of attention. This why people see me [and] they're like, 'Well, this dude always mad...' Because somebody has their camera and sticking to my face."

However, when it comes to his kids, he emphasized his strong sense of protectiveness.

"I don't mind you taking my picture about a club, a premiere, whatever. My wife, I don't give a f--k. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. I don't notice you."

"My children, that's a different thing."
