Jennifer Lopez pals reveal she’s struggling to ‘let go’ of Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly struggling to move on from her relationship with Ben Affleck, following their highly publicized divorce. 

According to Radar Online, Lopez is eager to date again but her “lofty expectations and lingering feelings” for Affleck are holding her back.

“Jen is struggling to move on from her relationship with Ben,” the insider revealed. 

“She is eager to date again, but it seems that her lofty expectations and lingering feelings for her ex-husband may be holding her back. She’s also such a diva it is hard for any man to get close to her ideals.”

Lopez, 55, has been linked to actors Kevin Costner and Brett Goldstein, but remains unattached. The insider claims that Lopez’s exacting standards and inability to move past Affleck are inhibiting her progress. 

“Jen genuinely wants to meet someone new but tends to find faults with every guy she encounters. Despite interest from a variety of suitors, including through her agent, she has been on several low-key dates — but has been unable to feel a connection.”

The insider adds that Lopez’s romantic investment in the idea that she and Affleck were soulmates makes it tough for her to let go. 

“Friends say she romantically invested in the idea that she and Affleck were soulmates, making it tough for her to let go of that notion.”
