US Weekly reports that Ben Affleck has been investigated, he and Jennifer Lopez are arguing over “finances,” and their “honeymoon phase” is over.
The tension between the Hollywood couple reportedly started a few months ago. According to a source close to the “Atlas” star, “Jennifer started increasing her work commitments and preparing for her tour. She is very focused on work and keeps herself very busy.”
Jennifer and Ben grapple with ‘tough careers’
Ben apparently “doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle” and is feeling “exhausted” by the marriage.
“They’ve been tested,” the insider said, adding that celebrities “are on two different pages most of the time. The honeymoon phase is over.”
“They both have challenging careers which often require them to live in different cities,” another source said, “and their work has caused tension at home as well.”

Another person with knowledge of the situation says that Bennifer mutually decided that they would spend time apart to figure out “if this relationship is right for both of them.” This period of separation is meant to give them the time they need to reevaluate their relationship and determine its future.
Another anonymous source revealed that their busy work schedules have become a significant issue. “Over time, it became increasingly difficult for Jennifer and Ben to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings turned into major arguments.”
The pressures of their busy careers make it challenging for them to find time for each other, and “their approaches to conflict are fundamentally different.”
J.Lo ‘upset’ by divorce rumours
According to sources, financial differences have also “added to” their problems. Despite these issues, there is still hope for the couple.
J.Lo is reportedly “committed to working on the marriage,” and Ben has started “getting more invested” after battling “loneliness” and realizing “how much he misses Jen.”

At the moment, “Ben and Jen have mainly kept in touch to discuss urgent matters and updates”, but there is a glimmer of hope that things will get better. Although their communication was focused on practical matters, it does indicate their desire to stay connected and address their issues.
A source close to JLo told Us Weekly that The Mother star is “committed to working on the marriage” and that “she’s upset at the thought of a fourth divorce” and “really thought she and Ben would stick it out to the end this time.”
