Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage is reportedly on the rocks, with sources suggesting that Lopez has given up on salvaging their relationship. Persistent rumors of an imminent divorce have been circulating for weeks, and the couple’s actions appear to support the speculation. They have been living separately and recently put their $60 million marital mansion up for sale, despite being seen together at their children's events.

"Jenny has had enough, and she really tried, but she can do no more, it's not getting any better, it's worse," an unnamed source told the Daily Mail. According to this source, the "Marry Me" actress is frustrated with Affleck's persistent negativity and grumpy demeanor, likening him to Oscar the Grouch from "Sesame Street."

A friend of Lopez elaborated on Affleck's behavior, stating, "Ben is a great guy, but he can be grumpy and a downer. I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn't smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her." The friend added that while Affleck is a wonderful father, his constant smoking, cussing, and irritability have taken a toll on the marriage.

Lopez, who is not accustomed to negative publicity, is reportedly "shocked" by the bad press surrounding her relationship. However, she remains resilient and is determined to move forward. The "Let's Get Loud" singer is excited about resuming her canceled "This Is Me...Live" tour in 2025. An insider described Lopez as "very smart and strong" and confident that she "will bounce back" as "she always does."

Another source told In Touch that Lopez is wasting no time moving on from Affleck. "The split is getting nasty. She isn't wasting any time moving on from Ben," the source claimed. "She went to the Met Gala alone, she went out to dinner on Mother's Day without him, and now she's looking for a new home for herself after they had spent months searching for their dream home." This source indicated that Lopez has been vocal about their marital issues, but Affleck's refusal to compromise has made it clear that a divorce is imminent.

Cindy Adams, a gossip columnist, also commented on the situation, calling Lopez "desperate" for clinging to Affleck. "She's now desperate to pretend temp Affleck is still happy happy with her. Why? Because it's embarrassing," Adams wrote in a column for the New York Post.

Lopez's history of marriages and engagements adds context to the current situation. She was previously married to Ojani Noa (1997-1998), Cris Judd (2001-2003), and Marc Anthony (2004-2014) before reuniting with Affleck. She and Affleck had initially dated in the early 2000s and were set to marry in 2003 but called off their engagement. They rekindled their relationship nearly 20 years later, in 2021, after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez.

Lopez's first husband, Noa, had predicted that her marriage to Affleck would not last. "I wish her and Ben the best, but I'm not convinced it will last," Noa told the Daily Mail in 2022. "Jen loves being in love, but she's been engaged six times. Ben is husband number four. I was husband number one, and she told me I was the love of her life. When we lay in bed on our wedding night, she said we would be together forever."
