Ben Affleck on edge over Jennifer Lopez's growing spiritual practices amid divorce drama, reveal sources
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The highly publicized split between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has taken an unexpected twist, with insiders revealing that Affleck is increasingly unsettled by Lopez’s growing involvement in spiritual practices, as reported by Marca.
What began as a rekindled romance that enchanted fans has now transformed into a complicated co-parenting situation, with both stars juggling their blended families while navigating the emotional aftermath of their separation.
Ben Affleck feels unease over Jennifer Lopez's spiritual practices after divorce
Despite prioritizing their roles as parents, Jennifer Lopez shares two children with her former partner, while Ben Affleck has three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The couple's issues have created tension. Compounding the challenges is the stalled sale of their multi-million-dollar marital home, as a potential buyer has backed out, leaving them to grapple with the logistics of dividing their substantial $550 million fortune, particularly without a prenuptial agreement.
Sources suggest that Affleck’s anxiety is particularly linked to Lopez's spiritual practices, which have reportedly deepened since their divorce. Known for her interest in mysticism, Lopez has gained a reputation for her alleged “unbelievable” ability to manifest situations.
This has raised concerns for Affleck, who, beneath his composed exterior, is said to harbor fears about staying in Lopez’s good graces to avoid any potential bad luck.
Sources previously revealed that although she was initially distressed about the separation, she now views it as a necessary move. "This has been one of the hardest years for Jennifer. She didn’t want to file for divorce. She just felt like she had no choice," a source told PEOPLE.

The tension surrounding Lopez's spirituality is not new. Her first husband, Ojani Noa, previously claimed she used Santeria to cast spells during their marriage. While these allegations were dismissed as implausible, they have nonetheless added to Affleck's unease regarding Lopez's recent practices.
As speculation swirls around Lopez's spiritual activities, Affleck appears to be treading cautiously, navigating the complexities of their post-divorce relationship amid financial hurdles and the weight of spiritual rumors.
