Ben Affleck’s close friends are worried that he might be drinking again, especially as rumors swirl about his possible divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Recent reports claim Affleck has moved out of their $61 million mansion, while J-Lo canceled her North America tour to spend more time with family.
Their marriage seems uncertain, with no official response to the rumors.
Affleck has been open about his alcohol problems before, and friends fear he might struggle again. According to the Daily Mail, a friend said Affleck is deeply sad about the reports on his marriage. Others close to him say he’s at risk of relapse into alcohol use or may already be drinking again.
“I’ve heard he’s drinking. He’s struggling with inner demons – he’s really troubled,” one friend shared. Another added, “I’ve seen him looking distant, and it worries those who care about him.”
Recent reports say that Ben Affleck moved out of the fancy Beverly Hills home he and Jennifer Lopez bought last year. He’s staying at a rental while filming The Accountant 2. During this time, he’s been seen without his wedding ring. The news that they’re selling their house has added to rumors about them breaking up.
According to PEOPLE Magazine, a source said Ben and Jennifer aren’t happy with the house. They have different reasons for wanting to sell it that don’t necessarily mean they’re having relationship problems.
“Ben never liked the house. It’s too far from his kids,” said the source close to Jennifer Lopez.
And about Jennifer, they said, “the house is way too big for her.”
Affleck and Lopez got married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas in 2022, almost 20 years after their first relationship ended. They were a famous couple in the early 2000s but broke off their engagement and dated other people.
Fans were excited when they got back together, hoping for a happy ending. But if the rumors are true, their marriage might join the long list of Hollywood relationships that didn’t last.
