SICK OF SETTLING Ben Affleck ‘wants Jennifer Lopez to overhaul her career’ after album flop & ‘butts heads with team’ as fans fear split
BEN Affleck allegedly wants Jennifer Lopez to overhaul her career and think more carefully about her workload as fans fear the pair are headed for divorce court.
The twice-engaged couple got married in July 2022 when they eloped in Las Vegas, before having a lavish ceremony at his Georgia home the following August.
But reports have been circulating for weeks that the pair are already having serious marital issues, while Ben is said to be living in a separate home.
An insider told The U.S. Sun their inner circle saw “the writing on the wall” many months ago as Ben, 51, has been unhappy with their clashing schedules.
On Friday, Jen canceled her upcoming tour, telling fans she needed to spend time with her kids.
“Ben feels Jen needs to overhaul her career and have a better team behind her,” the insider revealed.
“He has butted heads with some members for a while now and it’s caused tension behind the scenes.
“He just wants what’s best for her and feels she’s doing a lot of mediocre projects and is surrounded by yes people who are also sometimes making decisions for her.
“Jen is also often doing 50 things at once.”
“Ben is not working as much by choice and she’s overworking – so their priorities are different,” they continued.
“Even though she has been dedicated to her marriage and kids, she’s very busy.”
‘HEAVY WORKLOAD’
Despite several reports about her workload causing issues in her marriage, she told the Associated Press this week that she has slowed her career down, insisting she goes at “half” the speed she used to.
She also alleged she has “been doing things that are really exciting” or “inspiring” to her as opposed to “doing just everything.”

Jennifer released her comeback album, “This Is Me … Now”, earlier this year, which only debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200 – despite it being her first record in a decade.
She released a documentary to accompany the release that was also panned by critics.
Jennifer also has several brand endorsements, including a new line of bottled, ready-to-drink cocktails under the name Delola which launched last year.
On top of these commitments, she’s also the face of Italian lingerie line, Intimissimi, and has started promoting her new movie, Atlas, in which she plays a data analyst with a deep distrust of AI.
“Ben supports her but he doesn’t want her to be disappointed when something doesn’t do well,” the source said.
“When it comes to his own career, he wants to take on select projects that interest him.
