Ben Affleck Ghosts J.Lo! The Real Reason He’s Ignoring Her Calls

Ben Affleck is reportedly distancing himself from Jennifer Lopez after a series of cryptic social media posts seemingly aimed at their past relationship. The tension between the former couple has reached a new level, with Affleck allegedly frustrated by Lopez’s subtle hints on Instagram, fueling speculation about their past romance.

The latest incident occurred on Valentine’s Day when Lopez posted a message that read, “Self-love don’t cost a thing.” While Lopez did not directly reference anyone, many followers speculated that the post was a veiled reference to Affleck, with some interpreting it as a subtle jab at their past. Sources close to Affleck reveal that the actor is aware of the insinuation and is increasingly frustrated by Lopez’s actions.

“Ben’s really trying to be the understanding ex, but come on… J.Lo is a total celebrity, and he knows the pressure’s on for her to spill some tea about their relationship eventually,” a source told RadarOnline. “But what really grinds his gears? It’s those sneaky little social media posts of hers that seem to just dangle hints about their old romance, knowing full well that everyone’s gonna jump to conclusions and connect the dots back to him.”

Affleck, 52, is reportedly growing tired of Lopez’s cryptic behavior, particularly her insistence that her posts are not intended to stir drama. “It’s super annoying because she doesn’t even mention his name outright, insisting it wasn’t her intention to make waves. But that doesn’t fly with him—he’s seriously over it,” the insider continued.

As a result, Affleck has reportedly been pulling away from Lopez, even “dodging her messages” and keeping their interactions to a minimum. “Ben knows she thrives on validation, and guess what? She’s not getting it from him anymore,” the source added.

While Affleck has been distancing himself from Lopez, he has found support in his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Since finalizing his divorce from Lopez earlier in February, Affleck has been spending more time with Garner and their three children: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Despite their separation after 13 years of marriage, Affleck and Garner have maintained a friendly relationship, often seen celebrating holidays together with their children.

An insider close to Affleck revealed that he may still harbor feelings for Garner. “He never really got over the end of his first marriage. Jen gets him like no one else, and as the mother of his three kids, she’ll always be on a pedestal for Ben. He’ll never stop having regrets that he let her walk away.”

As the tension between Affleck and Lopez continues to simmer, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve moving forward. But for now, it’s clear that Affleck is focusing on his bond with Garner and his family, leaving Lopez’s cryptic messages behind.
