The impending divorce of the pop diva from the Hollywood star is not far from the lips of ordinary people and media headlines. Every day new details of the love-hate story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck emerge. It is now known that the singer’s close circle did not always like the actress.
Close friends of J.Lo, 55, are happy that their relationship with the 51-year-old artist has ended. The exes, who went to different houses, have agreed on the terms of the divorce and are waiting for the opportunity to file the papers. As reported by people close to the celebrity, this was facilitated by their friends. Many of them have not hidden their hatred for Ben Affleck since the couple’s first attempt at a relationship in the early 2000s.
Among them was the singer’s longtime manager Benny Medina. He collaborated with Lopez for many years, but in 2003 Jennifer fired her assistant. According to some reports, Affleck was the one who influenced the star’s decision. However, after ending his relationship with the actress in 2004, he brought the employee back a few years later.
Since then, Medina has remained one of J.Lo’s closest advisors and close friends. “These two can’t stand each other. Benny and Ben don’t get along, there’s still real bad blood between them,” the Daily Mail quoted an insider as saying.
Another person who temporarily lost touch with the singer during her romance with Ben was her close friend Leah Remini. After the actress, author and activist urged Lopez to consider marrying Affleck, Jennifer argued with her and even refused to invite her to her wedding. Remini asked JLo if Ben had the same flaws that led to their breakup the first time.
At the beginning of the year, the friends reconciled. Leah spent time with Jennifer and consoled her after the problems in her marriage with her chosen one. “Nobody likes Affleck except his mother Jennifer. He is a threesome layman,” said an insider.
It was previously known that his friends turned their backs on Ben Affleck during his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. What caused this – read here.
