Despite their breakup, sources suggest that Jennifer Lopez still keeps Ben Affleck close for career guidance. The couple tied the knot in 2022 before parting ways in 2025. Although they couldn’t make their marriage work, the former couple reportedly remain on amicable terms. According to sources, the “On the Floor” singer still has Affleck on speed dial for career advice.
Sources claim Jennifer Lopez continues to seek career advice from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck parted ways in 2025, nearly three years after their marriage. Even though the couple is no longer in a relationship, Lopez reportedly continues to seek career advice from the “Gone Girl” actor.
A source told In Touch Weekly that Affleck doesn’t mind the fact that his ex-wife still relies on him. Instead, it reportedly fuels his ego in a healthy way, the source claimed. The insider added that he wants the best for Lopez and continues to advise her to this day. He reportedly likes that she takes him seriously “as an advisor,” even though their marriage didn’t work out.
The source continued, “Ben is genuinely fascinated by Jennifer’s business moves and decision-making process, so he always gets something out of it when she comes to him for advice.” When it comes to Lopez, the insider claimed that she uses Affleck as a “sounding board.”
She knows he has extensive experience and knowledge of the entertainment industry, placing his perspective on par with her professional advisers. “In some ways, Jennifer trusts Ben more because he’s not listening to her out of any kind of contractual obligation,” the source added.
Despite the split, the former couple reportedly remains cordial with one another. They even attended the red carpet premiere together during the promotions for Kiss of the Spider Woman.
According to the source, Affleck is well aware that he and Lopez will remain part of each other’s lives for the foreseeable future, which is why they continue to show the utmost respect and support for one another. The source concluded, “They truly are kindred spirits, despite no longer being man and wife.”
