Jennifer Lopez Thinks Ben Affleck Is Hanging Out With the Beckhams to ‘Spite Her,’ Source Says
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce continues to dominate the media as they move through the proceedings. Before Lopez and Affleck tied the knot, Lopez was married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014. During her marriage to Anthony, she became close with Victoria Beckham. Unfortunately, a source now says that Affleck is spending time with Victoria and David Beckham. Here’s why Lopez is upset.
Jennifer Lopez allegedly believes that Ben Affleck spends time with the Beckhams to ‘spite her’
Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham go way back. During Lopez’s marriage to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, she allegedly became very close with Victoria and David Beckham, who have been married since 1999. Through the years, Lopez and Victoria seemed to go their separate ways. However, an insider suggested that Ben Affleck now spends time with the Beckham family, which upsets Lopez.
J.Lo has always really liked and admired Victoria; back when she was married to Marc Anthony, they got very close,” an insider told In Touch Weekly. “They used to hang out a lot. After she and Marc split, she and Victoria drifted apart, but she still considers her a friend.”
Recently, Affleck and Matt Damon have been spending time with David while they film a new beer ad. Lopez allegedly feels extremely upset that “Ben is suddenly all over them.”
“She’s convinced he’s only doing it to spite her, because back when they were together, he never showed any interest in hanging out with them even though J.Lo swears she suggested it multiple times,” the source continued. Lopez allegedly “accused” Affleck of “trying to steal her friends to get a rise out of her.”
Marc Anthony allegedly turned to the Beckhams for support after his divorce from J.Lo
Jennifer Lopez has four divorces in her wake, with her longest marriage to Marc Anthony. She and Anthony made their marriage work for 10 years, and they have twins, Max and Emme, together. The couple noted that they split over “irreconcilable differences” and the choice was “amicable.”
When Lopez rekindled her flame with Ben Affleck in 2021, Anthony allegedly worried. “Marc’s a bit worried, given Jen’s history of jumping into things quickly and how that might potentially upset the kids,” a source told Closer Online UK at the time. Anthony retained a great relationship with Victoria and David Beckham and confided in them regarding his feelings toward Lopez post-split.
“While Victoria and David never wanted to take sides in the split, it’s usually inevitable,” the source continued. “It created a wedge between Jen and Posh, which grew deeper as time went on. David is one of Marc’s closest friends, so Jen knows Marc often confides in him and Vic about personal things, which of course could include his co-parenting with her. While she’s accepted it, she can’t help feel slightly hurt as she and Vic used to be so tight.”
Jennifer Lopez admitted over a decade ago that she and Posh Spice lost touch
While Jennifer Lopez’s ex, Marc Anthony, retained a close relationship with Victoria and David Beckham, Lopez and Victoria appeared to lose touch. In 2011, Lopez praised Victoria for her ability to make her laugh. However, in 2012, after Lopez and Anthony officially separated, she revealed that she no longer hung out with the famous couple.
“I haven’t seen them (the Beckhams) in a while,” she said, according to Cosmopolitan. “They had little baby Harper … I wish them the best.”
Lopez and Victoria might be back on good terms in 2024. In 2023, Victoria had a viral clip on TikTok joking about how Lopez takes the garbage out. “I bet that Jennifer Lopez doesn’t do bins,” Victoria says in the clip as she’s emptying the bins in her kitchen.
“Yeah, but you’re not Jennifer Lopez,” David says in the background.
“But I bet she doesn’t do bins, does she?” Victoria continues. “I’m sure she doesn’t do bins, no.”
