Affleck is a producer on the film, and Lopez is a star, but their behavior still prompted people to wonder if they were on better terms. People wanting to see another Bennifer wedding shouldn’t get their hopes up, though. A source close to the couple said Affleck tends to keep her at a distance.</p>

<p id=”par-4_20″>The source claimed that this is because their dynamic collapses when they try to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-finalizing-divorce-wonders-relationship-source-says.html/”>get too close to each other</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-5_69″>“They each have roles to play with each other— she’s the glamorous, gorgeous diva superstar on a pedestal, he’s the roguish cad who keeps her at a distance to maintain sexual tension,” the source said. “As long as they are each playing their parts, they’re perfect. The minute they try to be anything more than that — especially something as pedestrian as husband and wife — it’s so doomed.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_17″>At the premiere, Affleck <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jennifer-lopez-said-learned-lesson-hoping-oscar.html/”>spoke glowingly about Lopez’s performance</a>, and she thanked him for producing the movie.</p>
