Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is reportedly grappling with deep feelings of regret and vulnerability following his recent divorce from global superstar Jennifer Lopez. The couple, whose rekindled romance captured the public's attention, has officially parted ways after two years of marriage.
Affleck, 52, is said to have confided in his long-time friend and fellow actor Matt Damon during a difficult emotional breakdown. "Ben is feeling particularly vulnerable and humiliated after his divorce from JLo," a source close to the actor revealed. "He broke down in tears and admitted to Matt that he was jealous of his lifestyle."
The strain on their relationship became more apparent in recent months. Lopez attended the premiere of her upcoming film Atlas alone, sparking speculation about the couple’s troubles. Additionally, Lopez canceled her planned tour to prioritize her family, further intensifying rumors of their growing distance.
The couple, who had initially split in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance, spent much of the summer apart. Affleck's absence from Lopez's high-profile, Bridgerton-themed birthday party in August raised further questions about their relationship status. On August 20, exactly two years after their intimate wedding at Affleck's Georgia mansion, Lopez officially filed for divorce.
While both stars have remained largely silent on the details of their separation, the emotional toll on Affleck has been evident. Friends close to the actor have noted that he is struggling with feelings of loss and regret over life choices that have shaped his personal and professional journey.
Lopez, meanwhile, is reportedly focusing on her family and career, navigating life post-divorce with a renewed sense of purpose. Fans of the couple, often referred to as "Bennifer," have expressed their sadness over the end of the iconic romance, as the two stars move forward on separate paths.
