"Enjoying the emotional rollercoaster." Insider reveals why Ben Affleck can't put an end to his relationship with Jennifer Lopez

Despite his divorce from 55-year-old Jennifer Lopez, 52-year-old Ben Affleck still can't put an end to his relationship with her. This is reported by In Touch, citing a source close to the Hollywood actor.

According to the insider, Ben's loved ones, including his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, are concerned that he is "playing with fire" and could be drawn back into a destructive relationship.

"Ben has an addiction problem, and many believe that now that he's quit drinking, he's developed a new vice — he's become addicted to love. He clearly enjoys the emotional rollercoaster between him and J.Lo, even though he's not seriously considering getting back together, he's just enjoying the moment," the insider said, adding that Garner in particular thinks his ex-husband's attitude is "a terrible idea."

"First of all, he's messing with J.Lo, which is pretty cruel. Second of all, he's sending mixed signals to the kids, which is also wrong. It's been a rollercoaster ride. It seems like he's falling into a toxic pattern of behavior that's not going to end well," a source told In Touch.

He added that Ben still wants a divorce and that the chances of his full reunion with Jennifer Lopez are extremely slim, but the actor has embarked on a path of self-destruction, so his loved ones are begging him to pull himself together and start acting more thoughtfully, rather than giving in to all his impulses.

Recall that Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck at the end of August. The celebrities rekindled their relationship in 2021 after breaking off their engagement 20 years ago, and got married in 2022. At first, their family life seemed happy, but later netizens began to notice that Ben often looked gloomy next to his wife, and paparazzi periodically photographed the spouses during quarrels. After the divorce announcement, the stars were seen together more than once. Recently, they were even caught kissing during brunch with their children.
