Things aren’t looking good in paradise for Bennifer. And, after being separated for over a month, Affleck is reportedly keeping a low profile around Jennifer Lopez. While some are jumping to conclusions about the separation, the real reason may be a little more mundane. It seems the prospect of a full-blown divorce battle with Lopez has scared him. This fear is so strong that he’s still holding on to his wedding ring, using it as a reminder of his commitment, even though there’s a lot of gossip going around.
Ben Affleck is worried about this Jello move
A source told InTouch that although Affleck knew the singer would never accept his idea of ​​moving out, “the more time went by, the more he became fearful of how she would react once it officially happened.” The Accountant 2 star, who is currently staying in his Brentwood rental home, has been spotted in a confused photo with his wedding ring on.
However, he hasn’t completely called it quits. Insiders believe this ring drama is connected to J.Lo’s insistence on publicly demonstrating unity. This whole situation is causing Affleck a lot of anxiety.
“The way she pressured him to wear his rings and pay for the damages, and the way she showed extreme anger at him for throwing out his stuff, has worried him,” he said.

Jennifer Lopez ‘isn’t leaving anytime soon’
The pop star who cancelled her million dollar LA residency to take some time for herself and her kids is currently enjoying some down time in the Hamptons. She has also been spotted mingling with Ben Affleck’s daughter Violet. The growing closeness between J.Lo and Violet is reportedly another factor that is making it difficult for Affleck to let go of the situation. Apparently, Affleck, 54, is not planning on exiting quietly. Insiders claim that she is becoming increasingly frustrated as things have gone on, and she is making it clear that she expects Affleck to, “play the game the way she is.”
The source added, “Until this divorce is final, she wants him to wear the ring and still behave like a married man.” Meanwhile, “Ben is trying to stay away from her as much as possible because he doesn’t want to deal with any more fights. He’s treading very carefully and never knows when she’ll flare up.”
