The real reason behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce revealed

The real reason behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s unexpected divorce has been revealed by an insider close to the couple. The source disclosed that the main factor driving the split was the couple's fundamental incompatibility. Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce on August 20, reportedly realized that she and Ben Affleck were simply too different to make their marriage work.

According to the insider, the couple struggled with their contrasting lifestyles. While Ben, known for his role in The Accountant, prefers to live a private and low-key life, Jennifer thrives in the spotlight, enjoying all things glamorous—from red carpets to luxury mansions.

“It was more and more apparent they weren’t a good match,” the source told Us Weekly. Despite their best efforts, including trying therapy to salvage the relationship, it became clear that the couple was fundamentally incompatible.

“It boiled down to [the fact that] they are two different people,” the source explained. Jennifer and Ben, who tied the knot on July 16, 2022, even splurged on a $68 million home together, but the expensive investment couldn’t bridge the gap between their differing desires.

“[Jennifer] came to the realization things weren’t going to change and they were incompatible,” the insider added. “Spending time apart made it obvious that it wouldn’t work.”

The tipster elaborated on their differences, saying, “Jennifer loves luxury, mansions, jets, yachts, red carpets, and all things glamorous. Ben has never liked those things. Unless he is promoting work, he doesn’t like the spotlight.”

The split marks the end of a high-profile relationship that captured the public's attention, but it also highlights the importance of compatibility in a partnership. Despite their best efforts to make it work, Jennifer and Ben ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
