Psychologists say that love addiction causes singer Jennifer Lopez to have difficulty in her marriage with Ben Affleck as well as in her past relationships.

In the documentary JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs on Hulu , Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, psychotherapist Jenn Mann and others say there are many reasons why the On the Floor singer and actor Ben Affleck’s marriage did not last. One of the reasons given is that J.Lo is addicted to love.

Dr. Drew analyzed Jennifer Lopez’s love history and showed that she fell in love very quickly, but her relationships were difficult and ended quickly. Film producer Jon Peters commented that J.Lo always loved love and always needed a man in her life, which caused tension in her marriage.

Experts say the 54-year-old star has never spent enough “alone time” between relationships. According to experts, if J.Lo doesn’t take time to reflect, it’s difficult to see what caused her previous relationship to fail. A period of singleness is considered necessary to make the next relationship better and more sustainable.

They point out that in the past, J.Lo has always moved from one man to another very quickly, from Ojani Noa and Diddy to Chris Judd, Marc Anthony, A-Rod and Ben Affleck. The female artist went through three failed marriages before marrying Ben Affleck in 2022. She has been dating Ben since April 2021, just one month after breaking off her engagement with former baseball star A-Rod.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage was in trouble after less than two years of marriage. According to TMZ , the star couple is separated, each person lives in their own home and “everyone does their own thing”. Ben rented a house near his ex-wife’s house to take care of his three children while J.Lo remained in their $60 million mansion, only seeing each other occasionally. Recently, sources said that Affleck and his wife are selling the super mansion a year after buying it.

Another cause of tension in their love life is said to be due to their different perspectives on life. People newspaper quoted a source saying that Ben and Jennifer had opposite reactions to the media attention. “Ben hates all the attention and he’s always very uncomfortable when people pay attention to him. Jennifer has a different approach.”

Conflicting views on declaring love also affect the couple’s relationship. Insiders say that Ben Affleck is introverted and private while J.Lo opens up to the world. She “promoted” their love in her new album released earlier this year. Besides the new album, the female singer also spent a lot of money to make documentaries and music films about her love with Ben. “There are always conflicts in the way they live, how they handle problems and their actions,” the source said.

Last week, Dailymail ‘s source revealed that Jennifer Lopez felt tired of trying to solve everything to save her marriage and now she doesn’t want to do anything more. “J.Lo has had enough and she’s really tried but can’t do anything about it. It’s not getting any better, it’s getting worse,” the source said, sharing that Jennifer can’t stand Ben. Affleck because he is “grumpy and negative”.

The source commented: “It’s not just anyone’s fault. It’s very difficult for two big stars to maintain a marriage. One person has to give in to the other if they want to continue, but in this case, they both uncompromising”.
