JLo ready to sacrifice everything to save marriage to Ben Affleck
PoliticalThe cancelation Jennifer Lopez's 34-date concert tour was both sudden and emotional.
JLo said she was “heartbroken and devastated” by the cancelation of this tour, and soon social media was filled with versions of the reasons for this decision. One of them is poor ticket sales for her concerts. However, sources told The Daily Mail that a few weeks after the start, ticket sales were at a relatively healthy 78 percent. Demand started off slowly, but then picked up.
In conversations with multiple sources, it's clear that the problem isn't JLo's lack of enthusiasm for work, but rather what's going on in her marriage to actor Ben Affleck. She canceled the tour in an attempt to save their union.
Sources confirm that Ben left the family home in the middle of last month. He now lives in a rented house in the Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood. Immediately after the crisis, JLo decided to cancel the tour, explaining that she was taking time off “to be with her children, family and close friends.”
People who know JLo and Affleck say that the problem with their marriage is essentially Affleck himself. One colleague described the 51-year-old as difficult and "impossible" and "very difficult to live with."
Insiders say he disagrees with her professional choices, perhaps especially her decision to turn their relationship into a reality show in the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which aired on Amazon Prime earlier this year.
In public, they support their children at sporting and school events. Arriving and leaving each site almost separately, they politely hug each other and kiss each other on the cheek. Both continue to wear their wedding rings in an obvious but apparently empty gesture of official solidarity.
As always, Jennifer is supported by her close friend, manager Benny Medina. This week he drove her around town in a white BMW convertible. “When you marry Jennifer, you also marry Benny Medina,” says one friend.
According to her friend, Jennifer is trying her best to save her marriage. “Her Achilles heel has always been men. She is the most disciplined, hardworking, wonderful person and always gets her way in everything, except when it comes to romance. She wants this marriage to succeed so much that she is ready to make any sacrifice... She does not want to get a divorce. She doesn't want to end up like Madonna, alone at 60. She can't stand the thought of failure."
He notes that JLo canceled the concert tour precisely in an attempt to save the marriage. "She lets him smoke even though she hates it."
“Ben Affleck is a difficult person. He has a lot of demons and in my opinion his ego could never handle being married to someone of his level of fame. I think he'll end up with some pretty young model that no one has heard of." According to him, JLo constantly thinks about him.
“She even thinks he should go into politics and become president. Seriously, she's crazy about him. What a first lady she would make! But really, we all think it's over and it'll be official before the end of the summer."
