Affleck is said to genuinely want Lopez to move on and enjoy a fresh chapter in her personal life. An insider claimed the “Gone Girl” actor would feel less emotional burden if she were to find love again, especially after the difficulties surrounding their split. “[Ben] truly feels awful that he couldn’t be that person for her,” the source told Globe Magazine. As per the insider, seeing Lopez happy with a new partner could “take a lot of guilt off his shoulders.”
The speculation arrives as Lopez and Goldstein continue promoting their upcoming Netflix romantic comedy, “Office Romance.” Rumors about the pair first picked up after they were spotted together during a Broadway outing in New York City. Additional reports later claimed they appeared particularly close at the movie’s wrap celebration, where insiders alleged they spent much of the night side by side.
Fans became even more invested after Lopez jokingly referred to Goldstein as the “best kisser” she had worked with while discussing the film during interviews. Despite the ongoing chatter, another insider insisted there is no actual romance between them. According to the source, Lopez and Goldstein are simply embracing the public interest to generate excitement for the film’s release.
As for Affleck, insiders allege he is ready to fully move forward. “It’s no secret Ben is trying to wash his hands of her,” one source claimed. “In his view,” the insider added, “the faster [Lopez] can find happiness with someone else, the better.”
