'There’s no off switch': Ben Affleck vexed by Jennifer Lopez's diva demands, insider claims
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are not very far away from celebrating their first wedding anniversary but it seems there's already trouble in paradise. It has been said that the pair is quite different from each other and their collaboration for a new film project has only worsened the domestic situation.
“Ben wants to slow down a little. He needs that, but it’s not really how Jennifer does things. She’s an all-or-nothing type and has more energy than Ben. There’s no off switch and this is just not somebody who is down for Netflix and chill. This will undoubtedly create tension as Jen prepares to make Unstoppable, which Ben’s new company Artists Equity is financing and producing,” an insider told The Sun.

‘It’s a stressful time’
Earlier, Affleck had expressed his joy over his wife being part of the movie. He said, “What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend.” However, the tipster thinks otherwise.
They noted, “Ben has a full plate just dealing with the decisions he has to make with his career and his new business venture. When he goes home at night he wants to zone out or talk to his kids on the phone. Ben has been through hell and back a few times and he’s never had more responsibilities. It’s a stressful time.”
‘She is a Duracell Bunny’
The insider went on to say, “The guy doesn’t deserve to be ordered around, dragged to dubious social events, and critiqued on every minuscule aspect of his day. But this is what he signed up for when he married Jennifer. She is a Duracell Bunny who doesn’t stop for anybody. He’s got the vibe of a man who’s just come home from a long tour of duty in a war zone only to have to deal with his house getting hit by a tornado.”
Referring to the past few incidents, where the actor and the 53-year-old singer were spotted involved in apparent aggressive disagreements, the source added, “Jennifer is tougher, more demanding, and a hell of a lot more ambitious than she was 20 years ago. This woman likes the results she gets when she pushes Ben as hard as possible. But is that really sustainable?”
‘They both like drama’
Throwing more light on the couple’s marriage, another source told the publication, “Jennifer is very feisty. She thrives on passion, and you don’t get that without the arguments and the drama. She wants a man who will stand up to her and stand up for her. Jennifer’s a diva but Ben 100 percent knows that."
“They are both actors and they like a drama and an ever-moving stage — and that’s what their relationship is. Jennifer once said she is a seeker of love but that it always has to induce passion. You don’t get that without a few arguments and slamming of car doors,” the tipster mentioned, before adding, "She comes from a very strong family of women and knows what she wants. Ben knows who she is and that’s why he married her. I think they will make this work. After all, they’d look very silly if it didn’t."
