Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce was finalized in January last year. But a source claimed that the 53-year-old actor has reportedly been struggling to move on from his ex-wife. For those unversed, he had been married to Jennifer Garner before the singer. They also share three kids and have been co-parenting for several years. While Affleck has a good bond with Garner, things allegedly got complicated with Lopez.
Ben Affleck finding it difficult to move on from J.Lo due to lack of stability, says source
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez dated before he married Jennifer Garner. A few years ago, the old romance rekindled, and the couple tied the knot. But within two years of marriage, the two separated.
Recently, a source told The Sun that Affleck has been struggling to move on from the pop sensation. Moreover, he has reportedly been trying hard to bring stability to his life. “At this stage in his life, he feels the absence of a stable, long-term relationship very strongly — and that makes it hard for him to move on,” they claimed.
The insider also stated that the “Gone Girl” star was an “idealist,” who believed in the “ultimate love.” “He truly believes in that idea, and having it fall apart twice, with both Jennifers, has crushed him,” they added.
According to the report, his tendency to be fully invested in someone in a relationship made him “loving,” yet left him with a “painful” experience. “Ben is deeply romantic — someone who gives 110 percent in a relationship. When it fails, he takes it as a personal failure, and that’s something he’s still struggling to move past,” the source shared.
Furthermore, they also claimed that the “spark” between Affleck and Lopez has allegedly not died yet. Therefore, the split has reportedly left him heartbroken.
