Talk about the most influential friendships in Hollywood, and the first name to pop into your mind would be that of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Best friends since childhood, the pair’s bromance has been going strong for over four decades now, with many more to go. What’s better is that they haven’t just been best buddies off-screen, but have starred in as well as scripted numerous movies together that ended up being the biggest superhits of all time.
But this going strong and stronger companionship seems to have put Affleck’s wife Jennifer Lopez in much annoyance, as the bossy babe has been going around trying to split the best friends apart.
Ben Affleck Urged Matt Damon To Undergo Couple’s Therapy To Save Sinking Marriage
It all started when Matt Damon realized that his 18-year-old marriage with his wife Luciana Barroso was falling apart due to the Interstellar star’s hectic work schedule. Looking at how his best friend’s long-term love life was rapidly heading toward a split, the Batman actor couldn’t just sit still.
Ben Affleck stepped up and urged his Good Will Hunting pal to try couples therapy to save their marriage the same way he did with his. As per reports,
“Ben is first to admit the only thing that keeps Jennifer and him together is therapy,”
Turned out the 50-year-old’s advice worked, judging how Damon and Barroso are currently back on track to rediscovering their romance and enhancing their communication. The inside source further claimed,
“As for Matt, counseling is not only saving his marriage to Luciana. It’s thawing the freeze that existed between him and Jennifer, so he and Ben can be best buds again.”
However, while Affleck’s intentions were pure when recommending couples therapy to his close companion, his wife’s was not, judging from how Jennifer Lopez is said to have been trying to separate the longtime best pals.
Jennifer Lopez’s Selfish Reason Behind Convincing Matt Damon For Couples Therapy
As claimed by the insider, Lopez had been trying to drive a wedge between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. And judging from her bossy behavior, the claims might as well be true. The source said,
“Jennifer wanted Matt to get into counseling, too, though her reasons were a little selfish! She hoped Matt would shed the bro behavior he shares with Ben and start paying more attention to his own wife. Jennifer feels the need to micromanage Ben’s life to an extreme degree, and now Ben’s so badgered and browbeaten he doesn’t have the strength to stand up for himself.”
Furthermore, the source also gave an insight into Damon and Affleck’s friendship lately. It also claimed that the Interstellar star believes the only way to repair their bond is for Affleck to dump the singer cum actress against her will.
“Matt remembers Ben as a macho guy who dictated his own behavior, but he changed as soon as he let Jennifer back in his life. Ben and Matt’s friendship is fractured, and the only way it can get back to where it was is if Ben dumps Jennifer. But that’s not going to happen. She won’t let it.”
While the inside source claims this all to be true, fans are hoping that no toxic drama will be able to pull apart the lifetime bromance of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
