Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love story, which was once a tabloid’s dream, is now on the verge of falling apart. It’s been a month since they have been seen in public, forget about their PDA-filled outings. These Hollywood A-listers are now living separately, have put their shared mansion on the market, and reportedly want to spend time alone, even vacationing separately. Reports now claim that JLo’s mother Guadalupe Rodriguez is not backing down either. She has reportedly asked her daughter to take a major step, which includes leaving Ben behind.
Jennifer Lopez’s mother wants her to ‘leave Ben behind’
A source told the Daily Mail, “Jennifer’s mother told her, ‘Cut your losses and move on to not get embroiled in this mess any more.'” Insisting that her mother believes the singer wasted years thinking of Ben as her ‘shining warrior,’ the source added, “He’s not the person she made him out to be. It has taken a huge toll on her, making her forget who she is and what she stands for.”
‘Jennifer feels Ben doesn’t deserve her’
The source further claimed that not only her mother but the pop star herself has now come to terms with the idea that Ben doesn’t deserve her, and her sisters agree with this as well. The family believes that the All I Have singer is so entangled that “she is no longer able to see it as it is.” They want her to file for divorce first and focus on her life – her kids and career.

Lopez’s family reportedly wants him to focus on his kids, Max and Emme, and “cut his losses.” They want him to prioritize himself more than a man who “threw up and gave up” instead of trying to save the marriage.
The insider added, “It’s upsetting for his family and Jennifer that Ben can’t see that there’s a woman who is loved by millions and who will love him forever — but he wants to give up rather than actually try to fix things.”
Ben and Jen are denying split rumors
Despite living apart, Ben and Jen are keen to give the impression that they are still a couple by proudly showing off their wedding rings. As reported by Page Six, sources close to the couple indicated that they are well aware of the impact their separation has had on their fans who closely follow their every move.
