Ben Affleck Allegedly Blames Jennifer Lopez for Pushing Him to Get Botox, Source Says
Fans loved it when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finally tied the knot in 2022. The couple was first linked in the early 2000s, but they called off their engagement in 2004. They reconnected in 2021 and married in July 2022. Unfortunately, Affleck and Lopez are reportedly headed toward divorce — and Affleck allegedly isn’t happy with Lopez pushing him into getting work done on his face. Here’s what a source shared about his alleged Botox use.
Ben Affleck allegedly received ‘facial maintenance’ in the form of Botox because of Jennifer Lopez’s suggestion
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were Hollywood’s “it” couple in the early 2000s, and they made waves when they married in 2022. Unfortunately, all eyes are on the couple as they might head for divorce. And a source said that Affleck is upset with Lopez for pushing him into getting Botox.
“If it wasn’t for J. Lo, Ben would never get work done, but she convinced him that everybody in Hollywood does a little facial maintenance,” the source told Life & Style on May 16, 2024. “Though Ben takes responsibility for agreeing to certain procedures, from now on, he says he wants to age gracefully.”
Affleck hasn’t addressed the claim that he has had Botox injections for a smoother face. However, Dr. Kassir, founder of Kassir Plastic Surgery and Inside Beauty, told In Touch that he sees a “noticeable difference” in Affleck’s appearance.
“Ben Affleck’s signature crow’s feet have long been a defining feature of his appearance,” Dr. Kassir said. “However, upon comparing his past photos to present-day images in 2024, there’s a noticeable difference — the wrinkles around his eyes appear significantly smoother. This suggests the possibility that he may have sought treatment for his crow’s feet, possibly through injections like neurotoxin injections or similar procedures.”
J.Lo claims she’s never done ‘any injectibles’ for smooth skin
While a source claimed that Ben Affleck got Botox for smooth skin because of Jennifer Lopez’s influence, Lopez insists she’s never injected anything into her face. In 2021, she set the record straight with a fan who commented on her Instagram photo. The fan claimed that they detected “tons of Botox.”
“That’s just my face!!” Lopez commented, according to Hola!. “For the 500 millionth time, I have never done Botox or any injectables or surgery!”
However, Lopez added in another interview that she doesn’t “judge” anyone for their choices. “I don’t judge anybody,” she said. “If you want to do Botox and injectables, that’s fine!”
Lopez spoke to Hola! about her secrets for a lasting, youthful glow. For her, it’s all about working from the inside out. “I think not enough people concentrate on [supplements] with skincare,” she said. “When I started learning about its science, [I learned] it is inflammation and hydration that makes us age, giving us an older look. So, how do we attack it from the inside out? The supplements are meant to help with that.”
Jennifer Lopez and her famous husband are seemingly headed for divorce, according to sources
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are allegedly arguing about more than just Botox. According to sources, the couple has been approaching a divorce for months. They currently do not live together, with Affleck living away from home. Sources close to the couple told Us Weekly that Affleck and Lopez have different communication styles and difficulty coming together due to their hectic work schedules.
“Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively,” a source said, adding that “small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments. They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict.”
“She’s upset and really did think she and Ben would be endgame this time around,” another source said of Lopez.
