Trouble in paradise? Trouble in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage reportedly started on their honeymoon in Italy!
After news broke this week that Jennifer had filed for divorce from Ben after two years of marriage, a Page Six source said: Claims Their high-profile honeymoon on Lake Como in 2022 put stress on their new marriage.
The pair were chased by cameras, but a source explained: “He wasn’t happy about being followed by the paparazzi. She’s an international superstar and he seemed surprised they were chasing him.”
Despite the trip being supposed to be “the happiest time of their lives,” Ben and Jen “barely spoke” during it, according to the source.
“He convinced her he was a changed man, but that only lasted a very short time,” the source said.
Another source told the publication that Ben had recently gotten sober when the pair rekindled their romance, but wanted more privacy after “starting to get back to normal life.”
The source said: “He [the entourage] And all the drama that comes with it at home.”
Despite reported tension in their relationship, another source told Page Six that Ben is “very protective of her,” adding, “She’s furious. He humiliated her. He was the one who brought up getting back together… She was blabbing that he was the love of her life.”
In December 2023, Jennifer Lopez gushed about Ben while speaking with “Extra’s” Teri Seymour about her album “This is Me… Now” and the film it inspired.
She said of working with Affleck, “We are true partners. Not just in our work together, but in life, as parents, as lovers, as a couple… we talk to each other about everything… I want to hear his opinion, anything, because I trust him. He wants the best for me and has no motive other than to see me shine at my best, and I feel that way about him too. So I definitely want to hear his opinion.”
The two were married on July 16, 2022 in Las Vegas.
August 20th, the date that Jennifer filed for divorce, is significant in that it marks the second anniversary of their second, more lavish wedding in Georgia.
