Relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck seems to be caught in a cycle of unresolved tension, despite their undeniable connection.
Their public reunion especially in the midst of Affleck’s divorce, ignited speculation about a calculated effort by Lopez to rekindle their romance.
However, an insider reveals that the reunion has only magnified their issues rather than smoothing them over.
At the core, it seems both are driven by conflicting needs: Lopez seeks the deep romance and devotion that Affleck seems unable to consistently provide, while Affleck’s tendency to pursue thrills, including revisiting past relationships, complicates matters further.
Despite this, their physical attraction still lingers, keeping them from fully moving on. Yet, as the insider notes, this push-pull dynamic only risks deepening the existing wounds.
According to a source close to the couple, tensions remain high. Speaking to In Touch Weekly, the insider shared, “Jennifer craves romance and adoration, while Ben is constantly seeking new thrills, even if they’re not good for him. His flirtation with his ex-wife is risky.”
It’s a classic case of two people who can’t fully reconcile their differences yet struggle to break away—a mix of passion and frustration. Their history seems to fuel the current turmoil highlighting that even after years apart, certain fundamental challenges remain unresolved.
