Jennifer Lopez tries to rekindle with estranged husband Ben Affleck

According to a report from Marca, Jennifer Lopez is reaching out to her estranged husband Ben Affleck through shared family activities. Heat World cited a source stating that Lopez is “refusing to give up” on Affleck, despite their highly publicized divorce proceedings. Marca corroborated this with insights from another insider familiar with the situation. “Ben has been trying to create some distance from Jen, but she just won’t allow it. She’s been attending the same events as him and insisting on continuing group activities with their kids. If he declines, he ends up looking like the bad guy. Now, she’s pushing for them to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas together, framing it as being for the children, but Ben doesn’t believe it’s solely for their sake,” the source shared with the magazine.
