Jennifer Lopez might find herself in a challenging emotional situation if her husband, Ben Affleck, starts dating another woman, according to celebrity matchmaker Patti Stanger. Despite being seen together in public, rumors of marital strife between the A-list couple have persisted for months. Stanger, known for her work on "The Millionaire Matchmaker," recently shared her perspective on the couple's relationship dynamics amid ongoing divorce speculations.

"It's much easier for the guy to get [a woman], so JLo's probably going to be really depressed to try to date someone else," Stanger told the Daily Mail. She emphasized the difficulty Lopez would face in finding a new partner, citing a scarcity of quality men for women.

Stanger elaborated on the differences between men and women in the dating scene, suggesting that men "age better" and benefit from different social dynamics. "Men are spoiled, their egos get inflated, and men age better," she explained. She noted that while Lopez and fellow celebrity Gisele Bündchen might be exceptions in terms of aging gracefully, the general trend favors men moving on more easily after a breakup.

Stanger's comments come in the wake of other public opinions about Lopez and Affleck's relationship. TV host and addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky described Lopez as a "love addict" on an episode of TMZ Investigates' "JLo and Ben: Missed Warning Signs." "She's a love addict, look at the men she's been with. She can't be alone," Dr. Drew said, criticizing Lopez's history of needing a man in her life and not spending time developing herself independently.

Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, also weighed in on the couple's future. Noa expressed doubts about the longevity of Lopez and Affleck's marriage, referencing Lopez's past relationships. "I wish her and Ben the best, but I'm not convinced it will last," Noa told the Daily Mail. He reflected on Lopez's history of engagements and marriages, highlighting that she has been engaged six times and Affleck is her fourth husband. Noa recalled Lopez's declaration of eternal love on their wedding night, which ultimately did not last.

Despite the rumors and reports of the couple living separately, Lopez publicly expressed her affection for Affleck on Father's Day, referring to him as her family's "hero." This public acknowledgment came even as Affleck spent Father's Day with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children: Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Stanger's predictions and other expert opinions paint a picture of potential emotional turmoil for Lopez if Affleck moves on to date other women. The dynamics of their high-profile relationship, coupled with the pressures of public scrutiny, add layers of complexity to their personal lives. The challenges Lopez may face in finding a new partner, as highlighted by Stanger, underscore the difficulties celebrities often encounter in their personal relationships.

While the future of Lopez and Affleck's marriage remains uncertain, the ongoing public discourse around their relationship continues to generate interest and speculation. As Lopez navigates her personal life amid these challenges, the insights from experts like Stanger and Dr. Drew offer a glimpse into the emotional landscape she might encounter. The support and scrutiny from fans and media alike will undoubtedly influence how she handles potential changes in her relationship with Affleck.
