Ben Affleck's Sobriety Concerns Amid J.Lo's New Spritzer Launch
Jennifer Lopez is set to launch her new spritzer, Delola, but sources express concern that the alcoholic beverage could threaten the sobriety of her husband, Ben Affleck. "Jennifer is mostly a teetotaler but has an occasional drink," reveals an insider. "And poor Ben has no choice other than to sit back and hear her say how delicious it is."
Reportedly, J.Lo, 53, began working on the spritzer around the time she and Ben, 50, rekindled their relationship two years ago, despite his history with rehab and alcohol abuse. "Even Jennifer's fans think it's a shameless money grab!" exclaims the insider. Delola contains approximately the same amount of alcohol as wine.
Jennifer explains her motivation for creating the drink, saying, "I was in search of something I could enjoy that fit the thoughtful way I live my life." She asserts that her beverage has fewer calories than traditional cocktails and "gives people the freedom to enjoy."
However, an insider claims that Ben has no "freedom to enjoy" without risking a devastating relapse. "What was she thinking?" questions the source.
Previously, The National ENQUIRER reported that the couple has faced various challenges, most recently while searching for their dream home. They have already withdrawn from deals on two mega-mansions in Pacific Palisades and a house in Bel-Air.
"Ben's trying very hard to stay sober and doesn't want [the spritzer] in the house," shares the informant.
The source concludes, "Jennifer may be bragging she found a drink that fits into her 'thoughtful' way of living, but it's not very thoughtful towards Ben!"
Ben Affleck Takes on New Role as Spanish Teacher for Jennifer Lopez
Bilingual actor Ben Affleck has taken on a new role as a Spanish teacher for his wife, Jennifer Lopez. In a surprising turn of events, Affleck's Spanish language skills have proven to be better than J.Lo's, and he is now teaching her not only the language but also helping her improve her Bronx-born accent.
According to a source, Affleck has been helping J.Lo with the language, including correcting small mistakes such as the wrong pronoun or gender. Affleck became bilingual at the age of 13 while filming a kids' TV series that was shot in Mexico.
Despite J.Lo's strong connection to her heritage, the 53-year-old singer has expressed frustration in the past with improving her Spanish. But now, with Affleck's help, she is making strides in her ancestral tongue. Gracias, Ben!
