Here’s a closer look at Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s platonic companionship.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: A rekindled bond
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly ‘over the moon’ with the possibility of a positive and safe space with Ben Affleck after the dramatic divorce, according to Closer. “Ben isn’t neurotic at all about Jennifer continuing to rely on his counsel, and even his emotional support, when it’s needed,” the outlet stated, before adding, “He’s still advising her, and he wants her to win. In fact, it fuels his ego, in a healthy way, to know that she still takes him incredibly seriously as an advisor, even though they couldn’t make it work as a married couple. He is also genuinely fascinated by her business moves, so he always gets something out of it when she comes to him for advice.”As for Lopez, she’s trusting the Academy Award-winning A-lister as he advises her without any contractual obligations, even if both have different perspectives about professional lives. She views him as a friend who could help her with important decisions about plotting the next steps of her acting career. While he shares a similar bond with his ex-wife and actress Jennifer Garner, Lopez is content that she has her own version as well. “She loves that she can call him pretty much any time and he almost always picks up and is happy to hear from her – though she’s careful not to call too much because she doesn’t want to push him away,” the aforementioned outlet said, adding that she takes pride in the fact that Affleck is someone she can go to for advice.
