Jennifer Lopez’s mom wants her to end troubled marriage to Ben Affleck as he 'does not deserve her'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez's mom, Guadalupe Rodriguez, is reportedly advising her daughter to end her marriage to Ben Affleck.
Insiders claim her family fears the toll of the relationship is causing Lopez to lose sight of herself, and believe she deserves better than a man who appears to have "thrown in the towel," reports the Daily Mail.
Jennifer Lopez's mom urges her to leave Ben Affleck amid marriage crisis
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, have been dogged by rumors of marital trouble for months. Reports suggest the couple is living separately and have been seen without their wedding rings, fueling speculation about an impending divorce. Rodriguez, 78, is now said to be encouraging her daughter to move on and focus on her career and her children, 16-year-old twins Emme and Max.
According to the DailyMail, Rodriguez told Lopez, "Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess."
"She told her that she's wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor," the source dished.
"It's upsetting to her family and Jennifer that Ben cannot see there is a woman who is loved by millions that will love him eternally – but he would rather throw in the towel than actually just try to fix things," the source further revealed.
She believes Lopez has spent years idealizing Affleck, only to be disappointed by the reality. "He was not the person she built him up to be. It's taken too much of a toll on her and because of this she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for."
"Jennifer currently feels like Ben does not deserve her and her sisters agree. They want Jennifer to be happy, of course, but they feel their sister is getting so caught up in what it was supposed to be that she isn't seeing it for what it is now," the source claims.
"They want her to file for divorce first and get on with her life – focus on her kids and career," the mole added.
Jennifer Lopez's mom Guadalupe slammed as a 'narcissist'
Jennifer Lopez's family, particularly her mother Guadalupe Rodriguez, reportedly urging her to leave Ben Affleck has sparked a variety of opinions online.
One user commented, "Marriage advice? She needs advice after FOUR (or is it five?) marriages. She should work HARD with a good therapist, not blame all her husbands, and be alone for a long time. Focus on being a mom."
Another added, "Sadly, she will never stay married. You have to care more about someone else than yourself for a successful marriage."
Another user criticized Rodriguez's involvement, writing, "So her mom prayed for 20 years for JLo and Ben to get together even though he was married and had a family and JLo had one too. Who was JLo's mom praying to? Mom's a piece of work too...like mom, like daughter."
Another user noted, "JLo called her mother a narcissist - that is really funny coming from her but I believe she takes after her mother a lot. Apparently, her mother had dreams of being an actress herself but she transferred those dreams onto her daughter. Her mother was personally invested and was right there as she climbed the ladder of success."
One wrote, "Jennifer can't be alone so she seeks out men and tries to mold them into her ideal husband. She's never really cared about who they are, what makes them tick, and how she can emotionally support them. She just needs a male, preferably one who is accomplished and wealthy, to squire her around and to prove to herself and the world that she's still sexy and desirable. If the appropriate man doesn't appear, she'll take up with one of her dancers."
