As more and more alleged Hollywood sources come forward to spill details about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's long-running divorce, the latest source claims that Affleck's drinking habits are part of the reason he decided to end his marriage.
A source with inside knowledge of the A-list couple says Jennifer Lopez's lavish lifestyle is posing a “risk” to Ben Affleck's sobriety, who has worked hard to maintain his sobriety since his struggle with alcoholism in the late 2010s and multiple stints in rehab.
“Affleck apparently ended his marriage to Lopez because her glamorous lifestyle was endangering his sobriety.”
“A source said: 'The marriage was incredibly tough. Jennifer Lopez lived a very glamorous lifestyle and he often faced temptation.' Affleck, who had struggled with drug addiction for years and been to rehab multiple times, was said to have 'endangered his sobriety in that environment' and 'had to leave' to avoid his worst nightmare: relapse.” (via RadarOnline)
Affleck and Lopez have not yet officially filed for divorce, but rumors of a split have persisted in recent months after the pair were barely spotted together this summer. They have also put their $68 million Los Angeles mansion up for sale.
Affleck and Lopez first dated in the early 2000s before splitting and marrying Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony, respectively. After multiple divorces and infidelities, the pair rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in Las Vegas in the summer of 2022. A source described the past two years as a “fever dream” from which Affleck is now waking up.
Despite their looming divorce, Affleck and Lopez still have a professional connection, and Jennifer Lopez's new film “Unstoppable,” which premieres at next month's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), is produced by Affleck's company, Artists Equity.
