It all started this spring after Ben missed several high-profile events with J. Lo, including the Met Gala, which she co-hosted, and their Atlas film’s release. Since then, their relationship has only grown after reports that they were taking some time apart, followed by the $68 million marital home being put up for sale.
A big rumor surrounding her alleged marital conflict refers to Jennifer’s enormous level of celebrity.
A source previously told People: “She likes to open her heart to her fans and the world.” Meanwhile, “he is more introspective and private,” which makes things “difficult on a day-to-day basis.”
Ben said something similar in J. Lo’s 2024 documentary. The greatest love story ever toldIn the film, he reflects on how he got back together with the singer after their split in 2004. “When we got back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a social media relationship,'” he shared. “Then I realized that it’s not fair to ask for that. It’s like you’re going to marry a sea captain and you’re like, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.'”
Ben also said that while they were “two people with different kinds of approaches,” they were “trying to learn how to come to an agreement.”
And while some sources continue to insist that fame has been a problem for them, a new report says that’s not entirely true.
“The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention being brought to their marriage is not true,” a source close to the actress recently told People. “There are deeper issues.”
Jen and Ben have yet to address the report, but a source previously told Entertainment Tonight that they were “trying to be as amicable as possible” during this time.
“They still want the best for everyone involved, including their children, the rest of their families and mutual friends.”
BuzzFeed has reached out to Jen and Ben’s representatives for comment on the latest report. We’ll let you know if we hear back.
