Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are ready to get married after a rep for the “Let’s Get Loud” songstress confirmed that they are engaged. The former partners of Jennifer Garner and Alex Rodriguez, respectively, rekindled their romance in 2021 after previously calling off their engagement back in 2004.
In April, Jennifer Lopez shared the engagement news in her “On the JLo” newsletter days after she was snapped donning what appeared to be an engagement ring earlier that month. The fiancee of Ben Affleck divulged the exciting update to her inner circles, which allegedly included a video of the “Papi” hitmaker admiring a huge, green stone on a silver band on her ring finger.
While avid followers of the two Hollywood stars are thrilled about their imminent wedding, a new report claims that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are having trouble mixing their lives together as they gear up to get hitched. Keep on reading to know more details.
Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez’s Staff And Kids Have Trouble Mixing?
National Enquirer, in its upcoming July 18, 2022 issue, reported that the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez gangs are not one big family as they are reportedly mixing like oil and water. The Deep Water actor and “On the Floor” hitmaker have five kids in total from their previous romances, and an insider claimed the pair’s two camps of nannies and employees “don’t get along – at all.”
The same source shared:
“If someone was supposed to make a reservation, pick up or drop off one of the kids, buy groceries, whatever, and something goes wrong, they blame the other side. There is no cohesiveness, and it’s a disaster on a daily basis.”
Ben Affleck is dad to Samual, 10, Seraphina, 13, and Violet, 16 – his children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – and according to the informant, Jennifer Lopez “welcomed” them into her life. However, it is said that the Triple Frontier star’s kids have yet to get used to being around the “Ain’t Your Mama” singer’s 14-year-old twins – Emme and Max – who she shares with former husband, Marc Anthony.
A tipster stated:
“Emme and Seraphina are pals. But Emme is going through her own thing right now, trying to figure out who she is.”
Jennifer Lopez recently introduced Emme using the gender-neutral pronouns they and them before a Dodger Stadium duet. An onlooker who spotted the blended family of Ben Affleck and the “Get Right” hitmaker at the Westfield Century City mall days earlier claimed Seraphina and Emme were “dressing very tomboyish.”
Max, for his part, was allegedly glued to his phone and wandering Sam had to be reeled in by Jennifer Lopez. However, every time Violet would try to talk to Ben Affleck, the source said the songstress would rush over.
Weeks later, Sam went with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez to a luxury rental lot in Beverly Hills, where the 10-year-old got behind the wheel of a running Lamborghini and accidentally tapped a BMW. Tipsters claimed Jennifer Garner promptly read the riot act to Ben.
The insider said:
“No one was hurt and apparently neither the Lambo nor the BMW suffered any visible damage. But Garner can’t help but wonder what was in Ben’s mind.”
Both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have yet to comment on the claims that their staff and children are having trouble mixing. So, avid followers of the couple should take all these unverified claims with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
Ana de Armas Reveals Attention During Her Ben Affleck Romance Was ‘Horrible’
Meanwhile, Ana de Armas told Elle that the attention on her high-profile romance with Ben Affleck was “horrible.” The Cuban-Spanish actress even revealed she felt trapped in that fishbowl existence, and it led to her moving out of Los Angeles.
Ana de Armas explained to the magazine:
"Going through it confirmed my thoughts about, 'This is not the place for me to be.' It became a little bit too much. There’s no escape. There's no way out. [Los Angeles gave] the feeling of something that you don't have, something missing. It's a city that keeps you anxious.”
When Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas broke up, it was claimed that the actress had broken off their “complicated” romance and a factor was that she didn’t “want to be Los Angeles-based and Ben obviously has to since his kids [with Jennifer Garner] live in Los Angeles.”
