Jennifer Lopez was all in when it came to her second act with Ben Affleck. New reports have surfaced amid the exes’ divorce about how hard the 55-year-old singer allegedly tried to make things work the second time around. A source told People that Lopez “did spend a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.
” “The way she cared for him was almost childlike,” the insider added. “Friends constantly reminded her that she’s not responsible for his feelings. He’s very moody and dark at times.
Jennifer appreciates life in another way. She’s very grateful for everything.” The insider also claimed that Affleck, 52, had “erratic mood swings,” which contributed to their split.
“The truth is there was a great deal of love but also unfortunately what became clear were Ben’s erratic mood swings that he couldn’t hide from the press, as much as he tried to,” the source confessed. “You could see the erratic behavior, the giant mood swings.” The insider added that the “Air” director would go from “being incredibly happy and warm — the best light that emanated from him” to “the deepest, darkest behavior.
” “I think he was signaling a message to the press,” they admitted. “But when the mood swings and the big highs and big lows informed a toxicity that was pervasive, no one can help you — you have to help yourself,” the source continued. “But I would not be so bold to say there isn’t love — of course there.
