Jennifer Lopez may face a tough road ahead in her search for a new partner after her split from Ben Affleck, according to an insider source. Despite the Argo actor having moved on with his former wife Jennifer Garner, Lopez is said to be struggling with two key obstacles that are preventing her from finding lasting love.
A source shared with RadarOnline.com that Lopez’s “diva” personality, combined with her lingering feelings for Affleck, are making it difficult for her to move on from their two-year marriage. “Jen is eager to date again, but her high expectations and unresolved emotions from her marriage to Ben are holding her back,” the insider explained. “She’s also so particular that it’s hard for any man to live up to her standards.”
Lopez, who finalized her divorce from Affleck in January, has reportedly been on several low-key dates since their split, but none have led to a meaningful connection. “She tends to find faults with every guy she meets,” the source added, emphasizing how her idealized vision of romance makes it hard for anyone to meet her expectations.
What makes the situation even more complicated is that Lopez is believed to have been romantically invested in the idea that she and Affleck were soulmates, making it difficult for her to move past their marriage. A second source noted that she had a hard time letting go of that notion, which has contributed to her reluctance to fully embrace a new relationship.
Recent rumors about her chemistry with Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein have also sparked interest, as the two have been seen enjoying each other’s company during filming. Though the pair’s growing bond has fueled speculation, a source said they were “just enjoying each other’s company” for now, leaving fans wondering if this connection could bloom into something more.
For now, it seems Lopez remains focused on her personal growth and career, even as she navigates the difficult path of moving on from her past with Ben Affleck. Whether or not she can find a new connection remains to be seen, but it’s clear that her high standards and unresolved feelings may continue to shape her romantic journey.
