Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly heading for divorce, with sources citing Jennifer’s struggle with “love and sex addiction” as key factors.
In a recent episode of ‘TMZ Investigates’ titled ‘JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs,’ film producer Jon Peters and Dr. Drew Pinsky discussed the possibility that Lopez might be obsessed with love and romance.
“She’s a love and sex addict. Look at the men she’s been with,” said Peters, 79, noting that Lopez, 54, has been divorced three times and had one broken engagement.
“She can’t be alone. She needs a man in her life, she has never spent any real time developing herself. And her career is in the [censored]. And she’s talented,” he added.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, a well-known TV personality and addiction specialist, agreed with Peters, explaining that many people struggle with love addiction.
“They tend to get sucked into relationships readily and easily, they fall hard for people, and once they go in they can’t get themselves out.”
Earlier this year, Lopez canceled her ‘This Is Me… Live Tour,’ which was set to start on June 26. She expressed her regret in a newsletter, saying, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
The cancellation led to rumours that it was due to low ticket sales and her ongoing issues with Affleck.
Reports say the couple has been living separately while deciding the future of their relationship. They have also put their $60 million home up for sale.
An insider revealed that Jennifer had been increasing her work commitments and preparing for her tour, which caused tension between them. “She’s very focused on work and overextends herself,” the source said.
Us Weekly reported that Ben had “checked out” as their “honeymoon phase” ended due to their different lifestyles.
“Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different, there is no give and take, there was no blending, they are just on separate tracks. She really tried hard to make it work, and it just did not work. She invested a lot of time and energy, and I think he did the same,” another source told the Daily Mail.
