Benny Medina might be the reason behind the rumored Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez split
The source, while talking to the outlet, alleged that Ben Affleck is not happy with his wife’s over-reliance on her long-time manager, who is also the godfather to her children, Max and Emme.
In fact, the 'AIR' star has reportedly issued an ultimatum - asking JLo to choose between him and her longtime manager.
The source made an objective observation, saying, "Being married to Jennifer Lopez feels like being married to Benny Medina, too."
"She won’t do anything without her manager and even insisted he accompany her and Ben on their honeymoon!" shared the tipster.
As the outlet reported, the 'Atlas' star spent her second wedding anniversary not with her husband but rather with Medina.
Another source commented on Bennifer 2.0’s relationship, saying, "The strain is palpable. It remains to be seen how Lopez will prioritize her marriage and her career!"
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have reportedly finalized their divorce papers
Amid the rising speculation, it has also been claimed that the estranged couple has lamentably finalized their divorce paper after Jennifer Lopez spent her 55th birthday away from Ben Affleck.
Multiple sources claimed that the divorce documents "are finalized but not yet submitted." Some even claimed that divorce filing is imminent.
A source close to the couple shared, "They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them."
"At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn't," said the insider, before adding, "Honestly, in the end, they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it."
