It seems Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship has taken a sudden move after those photos of Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner came out. It seems that to deal with all of these emotions, the two have allegedly stepped into couples counseling.

Numerous outlets have reported that Garner pushed Lopez and Affleck into couples counseling after their rift hit a breaking point from those viral photos. No photos have been obtained of the pair going to a therapist’s office, but insiders claim Lopez has since been adamant about the two going to therapy together.

The insider hinted that Affleck isn’t as into the setup as the True Love author, saying, “Ben won’t get her to drop it by being stubborn.”

For those who don’t know, this all started after Affleck and the 13 Going on 30 star were seen hugging and smiling together in and by his car. After the photos were posted, Lopez and Affleck have allegedly been in a fight about his and Garner’s relationship.

Not only has Lopez reportedly texted Garner about her grievances, but she allegedly made Affleck agree to a set of boundaries moving forward about how he interacts with his ex-wife.

Since then, many insiders claim things have been on the rougher side of their romance. However, the pair have stepped out on McDonald’s runs together, and have now, allegedly been working to mend this issue with therapy.

For those that don’t know, Lopez and Affleck were together from 2002 to 2004 after meeting on the set of Gigli. A few years after they called off their engagement, Affleck tied the knot with Garner in 2005 and welcomed three children named Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. They broke up in 2015, and the divorce was finalized in 2018. Then, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021, and they tied the knot a year later.
