J.Lo thinks Ben Affleck is trying to ‘steal her friends’ to ‘annoy her’ amid divorce: report | Hollywood

Ben Affleck found new friends in David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham who reportedly left Jennifer Lopez rolling with jealousy.

Lopez thinks Affleck ‘steals his friends’

The insider told the outlet: “J.Lo has always really liked and admired Victoria, back when she was married to Marc Anthony, they were very close. They went out together a lot. After she and Marc broke up, she and Victoria went their separate ways, but she still considers her a friend.

The On The Floor singer has always had a close relationship with the Beckhams, so much so that when her marriage to Anthony ended, they were the first she turned to. In March 2021, a source told Closer that the Spice Girl, 50, was very close friends with the Love Don’t Cost a Thing singer. They were so close that she and her husband shared their concerns about the singer’s child, Emme, after the singer and their partner split.

Due to Lopez and Beckham’s long history, the latter’s friendship with Affleck is “really overwhelming for her” because “Ben is suddenly all over them,” the source said.

After his Dunkin’ 2024 Super Bowl commercial, Affleck, who now works as a business manager, involved the former football player in more fun projects. Along with Matt Damon, the three team up to film a new beer commercial.

Lopez calls it all an act to “annoy” her

The Batman actor has kept his distance from Lopez since their divorce and a source also told the outlet that he “would rather not see her.” However, the singer continues to think that this is just a ruse to mess with her head.

The insider revealed, “She’s convinced he’s only doing this to spite her, because when they were together, he never showed any interest in dating them, even though J. Lo swears he she suggested it several times.” The source added, “She’s convinced he’s only doing this to spite her, because when they were together, he never showed any interest in dating them, even though J. Lo swears she suggested it several times.”

Her fixation on Affleck matches what a third source told the outlet: “She claims to be moving away from Ben, the truth is just the opposite.” The sources added: “Even though she talks a good game moving forward, the truth is she’s still as obsessed as ever.”
