Jennifer Lopez can’t let Ben Affleck go, sources suggest
A new report from RadarOnline.com indicates that Jennifer Lopez may still be strongly focused on her former husband, Ben Affleck, despite their divorce last year. According to the outlet, “Jen is making light of their divorce in interviews now and she’s trying to act as though she’s totally over it, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Sources suggest that Lopez continues to look for opportunities to maintain contact with Affleck despite their separation. They said, “She’s still finding any excuse to stay connected to Ben. She’s nowhere near letting him go.”
The former couple reunited briefly on October 6 at the New York screening of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which Affleck produced. Sources claim Lopez strongly encouraged Affleck to attend the premiere. One insider told the outlet, “Jen pushed and pushed for Ben to be at the premiere and pretty much threatened to go nuclear if he didn’t show up.”
According to the same report, Affleck later expressed regret over attending, with the source noting, “He went against his better judgment and he’s now saying it was a huge mistake because she hasn’t stopped calling him since.” Following the premiere, insiders allege that Lopez has reached out to Affleck more frequently.
RadarOnline.com also reported Lopez has allegedly encouraged Affleck to spend upcoming holidays with her “for the sake of the kids” and has reportedly sent him fan reactions commenting on their appearance together. “She’s even been texting him fan comments about how in love they still looked. It’s horrifying to Ben because he just wants to be free of her and she clearly won’t accept that,” the source added.
