Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez continue to make headlines for their estranged relationship. The two Hollywood stars surprised the world when reports about struggles in their marriage started, which were later confirmed when the singer filed for divorce after months of rumors.
While the pair seems ready to move on with their lives after a difficult time, new reports indicate that their personal lives are currently affecting their professional careers, as they have been putting time and energy into the divorce.
A close source to the pair revealed to Page Six that the divorce affected Ben Affleck's new movie. Affleck is working closely with his friend and longtime collaborator Matt Damon in the upcoming Netflix thriller 'RIP.'
