Light up:Ben Affleck has ‘hot women blowing up his phone’ but he can’t date yet for one reason
Although Ben Affleck only officially announced his split from Jennifer Lopez a few weeks ago, rumors are already rife that he may be getting back together.
After J-Lo’s divorce from The Gone Girl actress, who was the 36-year-old granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, who was famously murdered in 1968, he has been linked to US heiress Kick Kennedy.
The two were spotted at other well-known celeb hangouts like the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge. And Jennifer Garner, Ben’s ex-wife, and Kick, who he shares three kids with, are undoubtedly related. Although it was claimed that the pair could be more than just friends, Ben’s reps responded quickly and even issued a statement insisted: “There is no truth to any of it. They have never or are currently dating.
However, a source has now claimed that even if he wanted to, the 52-year-old has imposed a general dating ban on himself while his divorce proceedings are pending because he allegedly wants to stay on Jen’s good side.
The pair may have been unaware of their prenuptial agreements before they got married 20 years later, when their romance rekindled. The pair must now divide their estimated $500 million joint assets, which are said to be staggering.
So even if Ben wants to recoup the dating he once did, it’s unlikely he’ll soon release any new romances. A source told Heat magazine: “He really wants to start having fun again, and he’s got so many hot women blowing up his phone, but he’s putting a halt on dating plans.
” He can’t risk upsetting Jen. From his point of view, it’s frustrating that he’s being held back from having fun, but he can’t risk it. He anticipates that she will want to end the divorce quickly, but if he does anything, she might drag it out.
The source stated that Ben and Jen’s success in their divorce depends on their “playing nice,” which means he has “no choice but to suck it up and be as accommodating to her as possible.”
They added that Ben has made such a point of refuting the Kick rumors when he had previously been kept secret about his love life, saying that he is “practically living in fear” of Jen at the moment.
Just before their scheduled wedding, J-Lo and Ben, who had previously been engaged in the early 2000s, broke up. Later, they rekindled their friendship in 2021 and eventually exchanged vows in 2022, and later blamed this on the pressures of fame.
However, according to reports, their marriage split as early as their honeymoon, and Ben is alleged to have left the couple’s Beverly Hills home in May of this year. Though they now live separate lives, Ben is still said to feel” trapped “by Jen.
You can imagine how upsetting it is that Jen still has a lot of control over his marriage, according to the source, who added: “Ben’s biggest complaint about it was how controlling it was.” He is essentially at her’s mercy; if she doesn’t act in the way she wants, she could make him even more miserable. She’s got enough money to drag this on indefinitely. If Ben knows what’s good for him, he’ll keep his dating on ice until he’s divorced. “
