Insiders Allege How Jennifer Lopez Is ‘Faking It’ for the Cameras Amid Ben Affleck Divorce Rumors

Amid divorce rumors between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, many have wondered how they’re doing behind the cameras. While both seem on top of the world, and unbothered, insiders claim that couldn’t be more untrue for Lopez.

Insiders recently told InTouch Weekly that while Lopez looks quite happy, when out and about on vacations and birthday extravaganzas; she’s reportedly not dealing with the alleged breakup well.

“J. Lo wants the world to think she doesn’t have a care in the world, but the breakup is crushing her,” the insider said. “She’s faking it for the cameras in New York. It’s almost like she’s in an ad campaign for a woman having the time of her life on vacation….It’s all an illusion.”

This is quite heartbreaking to hear, but it’s not too shocking. A lot of the time, many try to save face during a breakup and try not to show if they’re hurting inside. We just hope everyone is healing and taking their time.

However, while Affleck looks the same when being photographed by the paparazzi, insiders claim he actually is doing just fine. They said, “He just feels lighter and is definitely less stressed without her. But J. Lo is destroyed and doesn’t want to move on.”

For those who don’t know, Lopez and Affleck fell in love on the set of the film Gigli. They appeared in a couple more projects together, and got engaged by the end of 2002, per People. In 2003, they postponed their wedding and then broke up days before, due to the paparazzi and pressure they faced, and were broken up by 2004.

Fast forward to 2021, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance. A year later, they got engaged and married in a lavish ceremony, but as of July 2024, it seems clear that trouble is definitely afoot in their romance.

While neither has publicly commented on whether or not they’re splitting up, many can’t seem to guess what’s happening. Some PR experts believe this “will they, won’t they divorce” news cycle is merely a strategy to distract fans from Lopez’s failed tour, while others are convinced Affleck and Lopez’s romance will be ending for good soon.
