The pop diva is set to launch her 30-date This Is Me…Now Tour on June 26 in Florida.
A source revealed to Us Magazine that Ben has felt “worn down” by the marriage due to Jennifer’s increased workload.
They said: “He’s been checked out,” adding that the couple is on “two completely different pages”.
Another insider suggested that J.Lo’s intensified work schedule has also “highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them”.
They revealed that the couple has struggled to “communicate effectively” of late, leading to “significant arguments”.
The source elaborated on how Ben and Jennifer have “fundamentally different approaches to conflict”, with J.Lo preferring to talk things through while Ben tends to withdraw.
It’s understood that recent disputes have centred around finances and parenting issues.
Despite the turmoil, insiders claim J.Lo is determined to salvage their union and is urging them to seek counselling.
Although Ben was initially reluctant, he’s reportedly beginning to “invest more” in the relationship, realising the extent of his longing for Jennifer after vacating their shared abode.
Rumours of a rift were fuelled by reports that Ben has “moved out” of the family home.
An source divulged to InTouch magazine: “The writing is on the wall – it’s over. They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame! They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
Furthermore, it’s been reported that J.Lo has imposed a strict ban on any questions about her marriage while she’s on the promotional trail for her new Netflix venture. A source revealed to TMZ that Netflix had briefed all media outlets with a clear directive: “no Ben Affleck and no personal queries were allowed.”
