Is anyone really surprised about this marriage?

They both seem like nightmares. All told I’d rather marry JLo than Ben, given his serious alcoholism/gambling/cheating history. But she cannot be easy to deal with.

Ben acts like he hates the paparazzi but he has done more than his share of weird stunts (anyone remember the entire relationship with Ana de Armas?? Nonstop pap strolls!) and he’s dated JLo, who he KNOWS loves attention more than anything, not once but twice!

They are not splitting now, but they are on the road to divorce. They don’t want to add fuel to the fire of J Lo’s bomb of a year with her canceling shows and her documentary bombing. But yes, they are done and will divorce after all this dies down.

You know this, how? They could just as easily patch things up.

LOL OK.

You’re right given the circumstances I’m sure they will pull through and live happily ever after.

She can't stay married. She likes the chase.

I can’t say I’m surprised at the rumors that they’re heading for divorce. However, I was hopeful that they would make it and that somehow their stars finally aligned.

It's over for them but announcement will come on a Friday of a drowsy summer weekend.

Maybe they will have a better and healthier relationship if they don't live together.

Maybe. I think the only way their relationship could work is if they give each other lots of space. But if they don't have enough space in a massive mansion with 24 bathrooms, I don't know what to tell you. Living apart seems pretty drastic under these circumstances. He must be really fed up if he moved out. Her poor kids.

I think neither one is easy to live with under ideal conditions but all of her negative professional stuff this year must have taken a toll. Bet she's an absolute nightmare to be around and he's not exactly the most patient, mature guy.

Ben hates the paparazzi, he is definitely not calling them. His pics sell well as in addition to being very famous, he usually looks angry or disgruntled or disheveled so they follow him around. He is an introvert. Barely even likes people!

Can you imagine her chugging a beer at a bar and Dunkin Donuts with Ben ?

Can you imagine Ben caring about the MET Ball or Anna Wintour or high fashion red carpets , and all the girly shit J Lo loves?

They really don't fit together.

He doesn’t fit with Garner neither.

He made a comment once that he favors his son because he can talk football and basketball with him and he worships his Batman character while his daughters don’t care about him at all and were trying to make his son watch Frozen and get into Taylor Swift and he wasn’t pleased with it. That told me all I needed to know about him.

He isn’t a fit for any girly activities. He’s classic frat boy who never matured past 25. Therefore, only a 25 year old woman can relate to him. Perhaps a bartender or young actress. Certainly not a mom. He’s still in party mode. Being a husband and family man isn’t really his thing but he did it because he had to

Such bs from a femobot. He's a masculine man and enjoys his masculinity. I can't think one man (pick any age) that would sit through Frozen or a Taylor Swift concert. Let me guess, you only like soy boys. Got it.

To the contrary.. That’s not what I meant at all. I just think it was disrespectful to mock his daughters for their girly interests and say he prefers and relates more with his son over them . Could be why one of his daughters is trying to be a boy. Maybe it’s to get more high fives and affection from dad Im just sensitive to any parent Openly saying they get along better or prefer one child over the other as I went through that myself .


If he thinks little girls watching Frozen, Taylor Swift, and playing dress up is tedious , I can imagine what he thinks of 54 year old J Lo fairytale Disney Princess fantasy

When / where did he say he prefers his son over his daughters?

I think there’s a bit of wanting to “prove the naysayers wrong” baked into her . I can certainty understand. Everyone told her no. First, it was her mother she tried to prove wrong by dropping out of college to become a star. It also was her family and neighborhood in general that doubted her and told her no.

Then, the movie business , record business.

In Living Color didn’t want her at first because they thought she was too fat compared to the other dancers . Rosie Perez stood up for her. I can imagine she has low self esteem from being told she’s not good enough by virtually everyone

I would imagine narcissism will come into play for anyone who has to build up their own confidence and become their own best advocate
