Jennifer Lopez Allegedly Has 'Love Addiction' Straining Marriage to Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, are reportedly on the brink of divorce due to Lopez's alleged "love addiction." This term, used by sources close to the couple, suggests that Lopez's constant need for a partner has placed significant strain on their marriage. Reports indicate that her history of quickly falling into intense relationships has made it difficult for her current marriage to endure .

Lopez's Marital Issues Linked to Unresolved Past Relationships

According to a recent documentary on Hulu titled "JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Sign," experts and insiders suggest that Lopez never took enough time to reflect between relationships, which may have prevented her from addressing issues that contributed to past breakups. The documentary highlights her pattern of quickly falling "fast and hard" in love, from her marriages to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony, to her high-profile engagements to Ben Affleck and Alex Rodriguez. This pattern of behavior supports the claim that Lopez's need for constant companionship could be detrimental to her marital stability .

Sources interviewed in the documentary believe that without taking the necessary time to reflect and understand what went wrong in her past relationships, Lopez has struggled to make her current relationship with Affleck work and endure. This lack of introspection and personal growth is seen as a critical factor in the ongoing marital issues .

Differing Views on Media Attention Add to Lopez and Affleck's Marital Strain

Another significant factor contributing to the strain in Lopez and Affleck's relationship is their differing approaches to media attention. According to a report by People magazine, insiders have suggested that the couple's different ways of handling the public eye have led to conflicts. Affleck is known for his preference for privacy, whereas Lopez is more open and enjoys sharing her life with her fans. This fundamental difference has reportedly caused daily tensions between the two .

A source told People magazine, "They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention. Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach." This clash in their personalities and how they deal with public scrutiny has been a recurring issue in their relationship .

Lopez Reportedly 'Over' Trying to Save Her Marriage

Lopez is reportedly ready to move on from her marriage to Affleck, feeling that she has done all she can to make it work. Sources close to the couple have revealed to the Daily Mail that Lopez is tired of trying to make things work with her husband and now sees that there is nothing "more" she can do to get their marriage back on track. The source said, "Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, it's not getting any better, it's worse" .

The source further claimed that Lopez decided to walk away from Affleck because he was constantly "grumpy and negative." Despite their efforts to salvage their marriage, it appears that the challenges have been insurmountable. "There is no one to blame here. It just was not in the cards. It is very hard for two massive stars to keep a marriage going, one has to give in, and in this case neither gave in," the source said .

Jennifer Lopez's Father's Day Post to Ben Affleck Sparks Speculation

Amid divorce rumors, Lopez's Father's Day tribute to Affleck was notably less enthusiastic than the previous year's, raising eyebrows about the state of their relationship. On Instagram, Lopez shared a black-and-white photo of Affleck with the caption, "Our hero. Happy Father's Day." The post was a stark contrast to Lopez's more elaborate post from the previous year's celebration, in which she shared multiple pictures and a heartfelt message. This shift in tone has fueled further speculation about the stability of their marriage .

Experts Note Lack of Intimacy in Lopez and Affleck's Recent Appearances

Body language experts have observed a lack of intimacy in Lopez and Affleck's recent public appearances, suggesting underlying issues in their relationship. According to the Daily Mail, body language expert Judi James noted that the couple's "most recent appearances together have [only] thrown up a lack of the kind of intimacy, passion, or loving signals that would reassure the fans" .

In recent months, Lopez and Affleck have been seen together in public, but their interactions have been described as awkward and distant. They were spotted sharing an awkward kiss outside a basketball game where Affleck's son, Samuel, was playing, and they were also seen holding hands at Affleck's daughter Violet's graduation ceremony, although their expressions were somber. These observations have led experts to believe that the couple is struggling to maintain the appearance of a happy relationship .
