Ben Affleck says he married Jennifer Lopez in the moment of ‘temporary insanity’

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are facing challenges in their marriage, according to a report by In Touch Weekly. Despite the enduring affection between them, Lopez is reportedly struggling to persuade Affleck to reconsider their living arrangements.

Sources close to Lopez suggest she believes they can overcome this difficult phase, but Affleck appears to be distancing himself. Affleck has confided in friends, referring to his marriage to Lopez as a moment of “temporary insanity,” and is now expressing a desire to move on, claiming he has gained clarity.

Ben Affleck is refusing to “budge” regarding his decision to part ways with Jennifer Lopez as he believes he tied the knot with her in a moment of “temporary insanity.” “J. Lo is still telling everyone they’re going to get through this, but it’s looking really bad,” the insider said of Lopez, who is busy preparing for her upcoming tour.

“He feels like the last two years were just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” the insider added. “If there was a way to divorce on the grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” the source noted, before adding that it is pretty clear that “a divorce is imminent.” “It’s such a huge shift going from this beautiful blended family to this fractured cold war,” they said.

This revelation comes amidst swirling rumors of a potential divorce, fueled by the couple’s 47-day absence from the public eye together. Although they have since made a few joint appearances, insiders suggest these outings are strategic efforts to quell rumors and reassure their children that they remain a priority.

The couple, who rekindled their romance nearly two decades after their initial engagement was called off, married in 2022. Since then, they have worked to blend their families, which includes Affleck’s three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and Lopez’s twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. The recent developments cast a shadow over what had been a celebrated reunion of the two stars.
