Ben Affleck is reportedly grappling with feelings of guilt following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The breakup between actor and singer continues to make headlines especially after two were recently photographed together with some reports suggesting they were seen kissing.
An insider close to the couple spoke to In Touch Weekly, revealing that Affleck is struggling emotionally despite appearing upbeat in public. Source noted that while Affleck might smile for the cameras, he often has difficult moments.
“Ben can look happy and cheerful, and he is, but he certainly has his bad days,” the source shared.
Divorce according to insiders, has taken a toll on Affleck’s public image, and he’s been wrestling with guilt over the split.
They mentioned that the actor is currently in a state of denial particularly with potential legal battles looming.
“His reputation has really suffered, and he’s dealing with a lot of guilt,” the source explained.
In an attempt to cope Affleck has reportedly buried himself in work to distract from the turmoil caused by the divorce.
Rumors about trouble between the couple first surfaced in May of this year, but neither Affleck nor Lopez commented at the time.
However, according to insiders Lopez officially filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing the separation date as April 26, 2024.
