Ben Afeck is at the ‘mercy’ of J.Lo

“Since there is no pre-nup, the divorce and how smoothly it goes will depend on whether or not they get along well. That means Ben has no choice but to try to be as civil as possible with J.Lo,” a source told OK! magazine. The source claimed that Affleck is “basically” at Lopez’s “mercy” and has to “behave the way she wants” or “she’ll stick her fangs in and make everything even more miserable.”

The source explained that this pressure to behave in a certain way is preventing the Batman actor from “having fun” because “he can’t risk upsetting J.Lo”. They also revealed that one of Affleck’s biggest complaints from his marriage to J.Lo was “how controlling she was, so you can imagine how upsetting it is for him that she’s still controlling him”. The source claimed that this is “the last thing he needs” and he’s eager to deal with the divorce so “get out there and start having fun again.”

Affleck’s phone is “full of hot women”

The source further revealed that the divorce has made Affleck hold himself back, despite the fact that so many women are approaching him. “He has so many hot women blowing up his phone, but he’s scared because he can’t risk upsetting J.Lo. He’s fully aware that this is just playing into her hands, but what choice does he have right now,” the source told the media outlet.

The source suggested that the On the Floor singer might opt ​​to “drag on” the divorce process if Affleck “does anything to provoke her” which would leave the latter in a “pretty trapped” position.

J.Lo filed for divorce on August 20, after which the couple spent the summer on separate coasts. The two did not even get together for special occasions like the Fourth of July holiday, J.Lo’s 55th birthday or their second anniversary. According to divorce documents, the singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce.
