Ben Affleck Cuts Off Communication with JLo: All Messages Now Funneled Through Intermediary

Jennifer Lopez, 56, and Ben Affleck, 53, wrapped up their divorce proceedings in January 2025, yet emerging reports indicate that their relationship remains strained. The once-iconic couple, affectionately dubbed Bennifer, revived their romance in 2021 after years of public speculation following their first engagement's end in January 2004. They exchanged vows in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, but unfortunately, their second attempt at marriage ended by April 2024, with Lopez filing for divorce later that year, citing “irreconcilable differences.” According to insiders, Affleck has been allegedly neglecting Lopez, opting to have his lawyers manage communication instead. This decision reportedly frustrates Lopez, as an anonymous source states, “It’s demeaning and rude.” Public sentiment appears largely unkind towards Lopez, with some criticizing her for clinging to Affleck post-divorce. Despite their personal struggles, both continue to collaborate professionally, notably on the film “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” set for release in theaters on October 10.
