Jennifer Lopez 'asking for trouble' using private moments with Ben Affleck to promote album, says source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: One of the most talked-about couples in the world by the media and paparazzi is Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck; however, the couple's recent public appearances have raised rumors about potential issues in their romance.

According to an informant, the famous Hollywood pair has been going through some serious relationship issues as Lopez prepares to release her album and companion film, 'This Is Me—Now,' per OK! Magazine.

The source close to the power couple claimed that the 54-year-old 'Maid in Manhattan' actress and the 51-year-old 'Argo' actor have been so engrossed in their renewed romance that she might have overlooked serious warning signs in their relationship.

'This is asking for trouble'

Owing to their riches, status, and influence, Lopez and Affleck are referred to as a power couple.

They are also cited as an example of true love and the 'right person, wrong time' theory since they renewed their romance in 2021, after previously dating between 2002-2004.

According to a tipster who spoke with In Touch Weekly, JLo is allegedly leveraging intimate interactions with Affleck to promote her next album and companion movie, 'This Is Me... Now.'

The source claimed, "This is asking for trouble. Jen says she and Ben have PTSD from all the scrutiny the first time around, and then in the next breath she’s promoting this movie about their relationship."

"She’s so caught up in this romance fantasy, no one can tell her to put the brakes on, not even Ben," the source added.

The insider commented, "All the social media posts and constant PDA, it’s already over the top," referring to Lopez's PDAs and social media posts with Affleck.

The insider claimed about Lopez and Affleck, who tied the knot in 2022, "Now using her marriage and private moments to promote her album is serving her relationship up on a platter for the public to devour again. Everyone’s predicting it will blow up in her face."

People apparently have doubts about how long the romance will last

Although the couple constantly seems to be the epitome of married bliss, many close to them—including Affleck's best friend Matt Damon—apparently have doubts about how long their love will continue.

"He’s tried to be publicly supportive for Ben’s sake, but the fact is he hates the way J.Lo treats his buddy and can no longer hold his tongue!" a source claimed of the 'Jason Bourne' star's concerns about his friend.

Damon might jeopardize their friendship with Affleck indefinitely if he keeps criticizing his friend's marriage. "It feels like history repeating itself because 20 years ago, they stopped talking for the exact same reason," claimed one insider.

"It's no secret Ben and J.Lo haven't been getting along, as he always seems to be in the doghouse," said an insider. "It's obvious something needs to change, but when Matt started giving Ben advice, he totally blew up."

The middle-aged couple's uncomfortable moments have been documented at various points in time, therefore, their love is still a matter of concern for many, and the most recent photos taken at the posh boutique only provide a glimpse of a particular moment.

Earlier images of the couple taken in St. Barthelemy's capital, Gustavia, while they were shopping at a posh boutique, depict tense moments. Affleck appeared agitated and even gestured with his hands in an annoyed manner as Lopez tried on a few outfits, per MARCA.

However, it's crucial to remember that famous couples frequently deal with considerable media attention, which may accentuate every gesture or facial expression.

'Bennifer' has been the center of attention since they announced their reconciliation, and despite rumors and conjecture, they have repeatedly shown their deep affection for one another at public gatherings and on social media.
