AceShowbiz - As rumors of marital difficulties escalate, insiders reveal that Jennifer Lopez's family is fervently advising her to divorce Ben Affleck. The pop icon's mother, Guadalupe RodrÃguez, and her sisters are reportedly pushing for a clean break, citing concerns about Lopez losing herself in the turbulent relationship.
Over the past few months, a whirlwind of rumors has enveloped the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Once hailed as a Hollywood fairytale, their romance appears to be on the brink of collapse as Lopez's family reportedly encourages her to file for divorce from the Oscar-winning actor.
Insiders claim that Lopez's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, has been particularly vocal about the issue. "Jennifer's mom told her, 'Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess,' " an insider revealed.
Rodriguez, who had prayed for two decades for Lopez to reunite with Affleck after their split in 2004, now believes her daughter has wasted years on a relationship that has taken a significant toll on her well-being.
Sources close to the "On the Floor" singer confirm that her family feels Lopez has lost sight of who she is. They believe that Affleck, contrary to the "knight in shining armor" image she once had of him, is unwilling to put in the effort needed to salvage their marriage. Reports indicate that both Rodriguez and Lopez's sisters, Leslie Ann and Lynda, share these concerns.
"Jennifer currently feels like Ben does not deserve her and her sisters agree," said one source. "They want her to file for divorce first and get on with her life - focus on her kids and career."
The couple has been under intense scrutiny, particularly as they have been spotted without their wedding rings and are reportedly living separately. Affleck is said to have moved his belongings out of their marital home into a $100,000-a-month rental near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, while Lopez remains in their $60 million Bel Air mansion.
Despite the tensions, both stars have continued to prioritize their children. Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony while Affleck has three children with Garner. Insiders also highlight that Garner, who has previously tried to mediate between Lopez and Affleck, has now distanced herself from the "circus" surrounding their marital issues.
As the second anniversary of their wedding approaches, neither Lopez nor Affleck has addressed the swirling divorce rumors. However, their recent behavior, including Lopez's solo trip to Italy and Affleck's focus on work and his children, suggests a relationship on rocky grounds.
It remains to be seen whether Lopez will heed her family's advice and file for divorce. Fans and followers are watching closely, hoping for a resolution, whether it be reconciliation or parting ways. For now, the public can catch a glimpse of Lopez's ongoing career through her latest movie, "Atlas", available on Netflix, and her documentary, "This Is Me… Now", on Prime Video.
