In a surprising turn of events, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly feeling disheartened following her split from Ben Affleck.
According to relationship expert Patti Stanger, the singer and actress may soon find herself grappling with her emotions while Affleck seeks solace in the arms of another woman.
After two years of marriage, the couple has been living apart for several weeks, fueling rampant speculation about their relationship status.
Stanger shared her insights with DailyMail.com, suggesting that the transition might be particularly tough for Lopez.
“It’s much easier for men to move on,” she stated, emphasizing that J.Lo could be left feeling quite discouraged as she navigates the dating scene.
The dynamics of breakups can often leave one partner reeling, and in this case, it seems Lopez may be the one left behind.
Adding to the conversation is Dr. Drew, a well-known television personality and addiction specialist.
He hinted that Lopez’s struggles in relationships might stem from what he describes as “love addiction.”
In a recent episode of TMZ Investigates, filmmaker Jon Peters echoed this sentiment, pointing out that Lopez’s history of relationships suggests a pattern of needing a partner to feel complete.
Dr. Drew elaborated on the concept of love addiction, noting its potential to wreak havoc on personal connections.
He explained that individuals with this tendency often lack strong boundaries, easily getting swept up in romantic entanglements.
They tend to fall hard and fast, making it difficult to extricate themselves when things go awry.
Lopez’s romantic history is a testament to this pattern.
Following her breakup with Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2001 after a two-year relationship, she quickly found herself involved with Affleck.
Their whirlwind romance led to an engagement, but the couple called it off in 2004 just before they were set to tie the knot.
Afterward, Lopez married Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 16-year-old twins, Emma and Max.
Their marriage lasted over six years before they divorced in 2011.
Just months later, Lopez was linked to dancer Casper Smart, but that relationship ended in 2016.
Rumors also circulated about her dating rapper Drake around the same time.
Recently, reports have emerged that Lopez and Affleck have enlisted the help of realtor Santiago Arana to sell their luxurious $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased just a year ago.
This decision follows a four-hour meeting at their sprawling 12-bedroom property, which had been taken off the market shortly after their acquisition last May.
In the weeks leading up to these developments, Lopez was spotted house-hunting in Beverly Hills alongside her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, without Affleck by her side.
This absence has only fueled speculation about the state of their marriage.
The couple’s relationship has faced scrutiny, particularly after they went 47 days without being seen together.
During that time, Lopez attended the premiere of her Netflix film “Atlas” and made a solo appearance at the Met Gala, while Affleck was frequently photographed without his wedding band.
As the dust settles from this high-profile split, it remains to be seen how both Lopez and Affleck will navigate their new realities.
Will Lopez find the strength to embrace her independence, or will she seek another relationship to fill the void?
Only time will tell how this chapter unfolds for the beloved star.
