Now, sources are claiming that the Hustlers star is totally heartbroken by the divorce.

Another source told People that The Accountant star allegedly “chose to pull away from their marriage” and leave her behind. Lopez reportedly did not want a divorce and wanted to figure things out.

His team is non stop with trying to paint him as the goody two shoes. He’s a serial cheater who prides himself as a good father and loves his privacy but modeling daily for his personal paparazzi.

Everyone thinks shes JLo she doesn’t let anyone get her down.
Ben almost broke her once. I hope to God he hasn’t succeeded this time.🥺
The strength Jen presents to the world hides a very vulnerable person who was scared to open her heart to the man who almost destroyed her.💔

Who wouldnt be if someone love bombed, ghosted and cheated on his wife and now tries to paint her as the reason why their marriage fell apart? Glad JLo is fighting back after she dumped Ben.

Affleck has denied the alleged extramarital affair (via People) and Garner herself has stated that the rumors had nothing to do with their divorce (via Vanity Fair). However, with Affleck facing another divorce, some people are digging up questionable parts of his past and painting him in a bad light. It certainly looks bad for The Way Back actor with all the negative publicity around him from fans and the media.
