Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez called it quits on their marriage this summer, but the pair have been seen out together looking cozy and fans are confused.
According to sources close to Affleck, he has no intention of getting back with his estranged wife, but that he just can’t help himself because he is a “love addict.”
“Ben’s got a very addictive personality, and a lot of people think now that he’s sober, he’s switched vices and become a love addict,” a source told outlet In Touch Weekly. “It’s obviously giving him some sort of buzz to be sort of back and forth with J. Lo, even though he has no intention of going any further than having a little fun.”
The source continued, “For one thing, he’s messing with J. Lo’s head, which is not kind. And it’s also sending mixed messages to the kids, which isn’t healthy. It’s just putting everyone back on this awful roller-coaster. It really seems like he’s falling into a very toxic pattern, in the long run this isn’t going to be good for anyone.”
Jennifer Lopez has been painted as an attention-grabbing wife who is greedy for fame…but if Affleck is just stringing her along, he’s not much of a victim either.
