The Truth About Jennifer Lopez's Alleged 'No Female Flight Attendant' Rule She Has For Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez's flight attendant rule for Ben Affleck started with her previous marriage, but that isn't the only rule she has for her husband.

While break-up speculation grows, reports say Ben is no longer living in the $60 million mega mansion they bought last year, though the reports haven’t been confirmed.

Contrary to her usual vibrant demeanor, an onlooker disclosed to Us Weekly that Lopez seemed somewhat subdued at the movie premiere, which could be a result of the divorce rumors.

"There weren't a lot of big smiles, even for photographers," remarked the eyewitness, observing that Lopez sported her wedding band but noticeably omitted her 8.5-carat diamond engagement ring. "It seemed like she was just going through the motions."

Another insider revealed that the decision to take some time apart was mutually agreed upon. "They are taking some space to work out whether or not the relationship is right for both of them," they disclosed.

Lopez’s Work Allegedly Interfered With Her Marriage

The same source claimed Jen has been throwing herself into work to distract from her alleged marital problems, which apparently has furthered the tension between her and Ben.

"Jennifer had started ramping up her work commitments and prepping for her tour," they explained. "She’s very focused on work and overextends herself."

Lopez is slated to kick off her 30-date "This Is Me…Now" Tour on June 26 in Florida, with the source indicating that Affleck "doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle" and has felt "worn down" by the marriage.

"He’s been checked out," the source continued, noting the couple's differing perspectives. "The honeymoon phase has worn off."

Another insider remarked that their demanding careers often put them in different cities, causing strain in their relationship. Recently, Lopez was in NYC filming the upcoming musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, while Affleck embarked on shooting The Accountant 2 in L.A. This divergence in schedules, as per the source, "highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them."

Even Ben has admitted his preference to keep their relationship private has contradicted with J.Lo’s lifestyles, hinting at bigger problems in their marriage, though fans are going to have to wait longer to learn if these two are officially calling it quits or not.
