Even though Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to divorce, they reportedly maintain warm relations. Moreover, those close to the stars have noticed that the actor continues to flirt with Jen. Allegedly, he has replaced his addictions with love, causing concern for Jennifer Garner.

A few months ago, speculation about the breakup of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage was one of the main topics in tabloids worldwide. Today, it is known that the celebrity couple has once again failed the test of time. In August, J.Lo filed for divorce after several months of separation from Ben.

Despite the decision to divorce, Ben and Jen seem to maintain amicable relations. Recently, the paparazzi even spotted them having lunch together with their children. Though they looked tense, the reason is unknown.

Friends are worried about Ben Affleck

An "In Touch" informant claims that relations between the divorcing couple are good, even friendly. Apparently, Ben is constantly flirting with Jennifer, which worries those close to him.

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. 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 – a source told "In Touch."

Jennifer Garner particularly dislikes this behaviour of the actor. The actor's ex-wife reportedly says it's a "terrible idea" for many reasons.

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 – the informant continues.

Ben Affleck as a single man

The last few months have indeed been quite a rollercoaster for both Jennifer and Ben. Recall that both had taken off and put back on their wedding rings several times. Due to the turmoil in her personal life, Lopez even cancelled her concert tour. On a related note, the 55-year-old's concert tickets had moderate interest.

There might be a grain of truth in the rumours about Ben's addiction to love. Shortly after breaking up with Lopez, the actor was seen with a mysterious woman. In the meantime, he was also linked to the daughter of a former U.S. presidential candidate. Well, everyone copes with a breakup in their own way—not always the healthiest.
