Jennifer and Ben don’t have children together, but they do have children of their own from previous marriages – the singer has twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony while Affleck has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

The couple, who married in 2022, have been at the center of separation rumors of late.

“He cares deeply about Ben and sympathizes with what he’s going through with Jennifer, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to resolve her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. That doesn’t make sense for no one.

“Jen is such a caring and wonderful wife and mother and there is just a deep friendship and connection between her and Ben.”

The source added: “John wants nothing more than for Ben to be okay, but it’s not his girlfriend’s responsibility to play babysitter to him. That’s up to Ben to figure out.” by himself and his wife to take care of it. It’s not Jen’s responsibility, and he told her that.

However, another source said Miller chooses to “stay out of” the marital drama and added, “Jen can’t escape it because it’s everywhere…”

On Friday, Lopez and Affleck were seen arriving separately at their Beverly Hills office.

The outing came amid speculation that the couple – who married in July 2022 – are heading for an “imminent” divorce as they claim to be living separately and also “looking for their own house”.

Also on Friday, a music industry source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Jennifer is “done” trying to save her marriage to Ben.

“Jenny has had enough and she’s really tried but she can’t do more, it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse,” the source said.

The insider added that the main reason Lopez left Affleck was because he was always “grumpy and negative” like Sesame Street’s Oscar The Grouch.

Jennifer is sad about the end of her nuptials but is “trying to make the best of it by working out, spending time with her twins Max and Emme, and making new plans for 2025,” they continued.

One of these new plans is to resume her This Is Me… Live tour for the summer of 2025, when she will be 56 years old. She canceled the 2024 tour which was due to start in July in order to “remember herself”.

“She is excited to go on tour next year when her personal life is calmer and she can connect with her fans. She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it,” the source said.

Lopez also says she’s “shocked” by the bad press she’s receiving, which she says isn’t fair.

“If people could see what she actually went through, they would be easier on her,” the source said.

“Ben is a great guy, but he can be grumpy and depressing. I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw what was really happening, they wouldn’t attack her,” Jennifer’s friend said.

“He chain smokes and swears and seems irritated most of the time. A great director and actor, but we don’t laugh a lot with him, you know? the source said. “But he’s a wonderful father.”

Lopez plans to continue. “She’s definitely not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she’ll get over it.” She will continue walking.

“Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, like she always does!”

These days, she relies on her close friends, like stylist Shawn Barton, nicknamed Beezy. Another is vocal coach Stevie Mackey.

As for reports that the two might announce their divorce, the source said, “I think they wanted to wait until all the kids were out of school and finished with their school projects and all that before doing their big announcement. They put children first.

However, it was revealed the couple had hired a real estate agent, Santiago Arana, to sell the lavish mansion – which was purchased last year.

A source told TMZ that the two have been “showing the house for about two weeks” but have yet to find a buyer.

Another source told Entertainment Tonight that Jennifer and Ben were spending time apart but were not “officially separated.”

“Jen visits houses and shops around to find her own home. She relied on her mother, sisters and children during this transition period,” the source added.

Affleck’s friends also expressed concern that the Good Will Hunting actor had “relapsed and is drinking again” amid rumors of marital problems.
