Jennifer Lopez’s Inner Circle Disapproves Of Ben Affleck Amid Split Rumors; ‘No One Except [Her] Mother Likes Him’ Says Source

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience observing and analyzing celebrity dynamics, I must say the Bennifer 2.0 saga is quite intriguing. It seems that Jennifer Lopez’s inner circle, particularly her longtime manager Benny Medina, has had reservations about Ben Affleck from the get-go. Their history dates back to 2004, and it appears that their relationship has left a lasting impression, much like a stubborn stain on a favorite pair of shoes.

According to Page Six, sources revealed on August 8th that Jennifer Lopez’s friends did not approve of her renewed relationship with Ben Affleck, also known as Bennifer 2.0. The singer’s inner circle had never been fond of the Gone Girl star, but they tolerated their rekindled romance despite this, even though Benny Medina, Lopez’s longtime manager and once vocal critic of Affleck, was part of it.

According to a source from one outlet, Medina has held grudge against Affleck since as far back as 2004 when Lopez and Affleck first split up. The source stated that the two individuals have never gotten along well, and there is still lingering animosity between them.

The talent manager, for those unaware, played a crucial role in turning Lopez into a worldwide sensation following her debut as a dancer on the ’90s comedy-variety show In Living Color. Yet, the singer of “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” ended her association with him in 2003, during her engagement to Affleck, and it is said that the actor had some influence on her decision to do so. Following their unsuccessful marriage attempt, however, Lopez once again employed Medina and has since maintained a close relationship with him as one of her most trusted advisors.

I chose to remain silent about J.Lo and Ben’s rekindled relationship, much like Thumper from Bambi, as I believe it’s best to keep my thoughts positive if I have nothing kind to share.

The source informed the publication that he was aware of their relationship, and that she would marry him regardless of circumstances; thus, they questioned the significance of it.

Jennifer Lopez (Bennifer 2.0) allegedly strained the friendship between the Atlas actress and her longtime best friend Leah Remini, who was initially introduced to each other by Jennifer’s former husband, Marc Anthony.

According to information from Page Six, a source had earlier reported that Remini requested Lopez to revisit the causes of her past breakup with Affleck before their romance resumed in 2021. The source alleged that Remini stated, “He is selfish and not fully committed as a partner. J.Lo was furious and ended all contact [with Remini]” following this revelation.

As a longtime observer of Hollywood relationships and someone who has navigated my own share of complex friendships, I find it fascinating to see Leah Remini reconnecting with Ben Affleck this year. Given her history of standing up for herself and others against perceived injustices, it’s heartening to see her offering support to a former friend amidst the alleged marital troubles he is currently facing. It serves as a reminder that friendships can endure even the most challenging circumstances and that people have the capacity for growth and change.

“Only Lopez’s mother appears to be fond of Ben Affleck; others find him to be quite arrogant.”

Recently, a report emerged stating that Lopez has been left angered and embarrassed due to the ongoing divorce proceedings with Affleck, as he was the one who initiated their second shot at a fairy-tale ending. Insiders have shared with the media that Affleck is delaying filing for divorce to prevent further embarrassment for his estranged wife, as she has publicly highlighted their relationship in her recent album and an Amazon Prime Video documentary.

According to a source, the current state of affairs was certainly not something Lopez had anticipated. If anyone had predicted their separation, so soon after just two years together, she would have been extremely upset and possibly violent.
