I think Cris Judd seemed like a centered happy person.

He proposed with a ring she bought. That’s not necessarily a centered person either. He wanted a come up.

They weren’t married long enough to know much about him. He was a backup dancer she had a fling with and married on a whim and paid to go away after she cheated on him three months after the marriage once she met Ben .

OK, you got me there!

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.

This is all I've got here. We know Ben's kids will be okay since they have their mother's stability. At one point Jlo posted a pic of her son cuddled up on Ben's lap. He seems shy and sensitive. I don't think Marc Anthony is very involved in their lives at all. So sad.

He's a player too. He's on wife #4 and has 5 other children. From Marc Anthony's Wiki,

--Girlfriend Debbie Rosado, 2 children
--Broken engagement to Claudette Lali
--Married Dayanara Torres, 2 children
--Married Jennifer Lopez, 2 children
--Married Shannon De Lima
--Married Nadia Ferreira two weeks after pregnancy announcement, 1 child

I'm not surprised at all, but I did think they would last a bit longer than two years.

He is involved. He lives in Miami and that’s why the kids were bummed they left Miami too.

He also has a bunch of divorces as well. He was a cheater , chain smoking addict as well. It seems J Lo loves bad boys. Her first husband Ojani Noa (the chef) was also possessive and abusive to her allegedly. He hated her fame . Diddy was a cheater , party boy, and possibly abusive to her as well.

I think she is too shallow to attach herself to a nerdy homebody who worships the ground she walks on. That’s the ideal man to me but to her, she likes a challenge and a life of the party arrested development macho man. She is from the Bronx so I understand why it’s tough machismo she likes. She probably would be bored to tears with a man from West Hollywood or Beverly Hills. All the guys she hooks up with are from the East Coast

FWIW Ben Affleck's mom loathes Jen, is the WoTs.

He has a new family. Celebs are so impulsive, to the detriment of their children.

When has she ever shown one iota of intelligence and maturity about relationships?

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.

Oh I don't think they are forever by any means, just believe she would never throw in the towel this quickly. After trumpeting their LOVE far and wide? Would be so humiliating. She'll do whatever it takes to patch things up enough to keep him around for a few more years. UNLESS he cheats on her.

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!

1+, I do recall those endless pics with Ana! I agree with the PPs that his expressed distaste for the paparazzi is mostly talk. As we have seen from Harry & Meghan, what celebrities usually mean when they "want privacy," is that they still want lots of press, just friendly press on their own terms.

He was pap'd coming and going from the other house he's apparently now renting.
