Jennifer Lopez is ‘still totally obsessed’ with ex Ben Affleck ‘which is just beyond unhealthy’: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez is reportedly still “mourning” her split with Ben Affleck, which has gone “just beyond unhealthy,” an insider recently revealed.
A close pal of the ‘Jenny From The Block’ singer, 55, told In Touch that Lopez has not quite given up on pining after her ex, even though she claims the opposite.
The source shared that Lopez is still not only “totally obsessed with him” but also “finds excuses to swing by his house.”
Jennifer Lopez is still ‘obsessed’ with Ben Affleck
After months of speculations, the ‘Hustlers’ star filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August - on what was supposed to be the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding. The estranged couple, however, noted April 26 as the day of their separation.
However, according to a source close to the mother-of-two, Lopez has not yet moved on from the thoughts of her ex-husband with whom she eloped to Vegas in 2022.
“She claims to be moving on from Ben, the truth is quite the opposite,” shared the source referring to Lopez.
They continued, “She’s still totally obsessed with him and even has Google Alerts set up for his name, which is just beyond unhealthy.”
“Any time she sees their mutual friends, she steers the conversation to Ben. She often finds excuses to swing by his house, dropping off items just to linger and see what he’s up to,” shared the source.
The insider added that whenever Lopez meets Affleck’s best friend, Matt Damon, she steers the conversation back to her ex. “And anytime she talks to Matt Damon, it’s always about Ben,” added the insider.
Her obsession with Affleck has reportedly affected her on the professional front as well, claims the insider.
They shared that while the Oscar-winning star is focusing on his future projects, including ‘The Accountant 2’ and ‘Animals’, Lopez is on the lookout for songwriters who would help her craft a new album.
“This whole music thing is all about Ben, too. Her songwriting sessions all revolve around their break-up and her pain,” added the insider.
They continued, “She is defensive about it and says she’s just channeling her heartbreak into her work, which all artists do.”
However, they heartbreakingly noted that despite her failed marriage, she is “doing nothing to help her move on.”
“As much as she talks a good game about moving forward, the truth is she’s still just as obsessed as ever. The way she’s mourning this break-up you’d think they’d been married for 20 years, not two,” noted the source.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's 'awkward' reunion in October
It was previously reported that while Ben Affleck wants to avoid bumping into his ex after months of awkwardness due to their split, certain circumstances are unavoidable because of their co-parenting responsibilities.
Affleck’s 15-year-old child Fin is in the same Los Angeles school as Lopez’s twins Max, and Emme, 16. Thus, in mid-October, the former couple reportedly had an “awkward” encounter during a school celebration.
Speaking of the colder-than-ice reunion, a source shared with In Touch, "Ben knows he’s going to see Jen at these functions. Their kids go to the same school, so how could he not? Still, it’s awkward."
In September, another source shared, "Ben would rather not see Jen, but the kids come first. He can’t be selfish," before adding, "Ben and Jen are resigned to keeping things as is. The hope is it’ll get easier as time goes by."
