AceShowbiz - Turmoil continues to plague the marriage of Hollywood star couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who've been in the spotlight due to their rumored marital woes and diverging career paths. Recent reports suggest that Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, are facing substantial challenges both at home and in their professional lives.
Insiders reveal that Affleck has been at odds with Lopez's creative team, urging a complete career overhaul amid disappointing album sales and a critically panned Netflix film.
Lopez's latest album, "This Is Me… Now", disappointed with a #38 debut on the Billboard 200 while her Netflix project, "Atlas", failed to impress the critics. Affleck reportedly believes that the actress and singer is overcommitted with subpar projects and surrounded by "yes people," which he contends is detrimental to her career. This sentiment has allegedly caused significant friction behind the scenes.
According to The Sun, Affleck has been encouraging Lopez to make more discerning choices regarding her professional workload. "Ben feels Jen needs to overhaul her career and have a better team behind her," an insider disclosed. "He has butted heads with some members for a while now and it's caused tension behind the scenes. He just wants what's best for her and feels she's doing a lot of mediocre projects."
Amid these career discussions, Lopez announced the cancellation of her upcoming tour, claiming the need to spend more time with her family. The decision, however, fueled speculation about the state of their marriage. Lopez expressed her distress over disappointing fans, stating, "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down."
Despite these public assertions, rumors persist that poor ticket sales and lackluster album performance were factors in the tour's cancellation.
Affleck and Lopez have been living separately, lending more credence to speculation about their troubled marriage. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022, are reportedly trying to navigate their differences with a focus on their children. "They are both trying to work out their issues, but it's been a difficult few months," said a source.
The future remains uncertain for one of Hollywood's most revered couples. As Lopez insists she's taking on more meaningful projects at a slower pace, Affleck remains concerned about her professional choices. Public appearances together have been scarce, and the strain is evident. Whether they can reconcile their divergent paths and restore their relationship remains to be seen.
