Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are in the news more than ever before. The couple first got engaged in the early 2000s, but they called the marriage off in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022. Matt Damon, one of Affleck’s best friends since childhood, says he’s extremely happy for Affleck. However, a source claims that Lopez and Affleck’s wife, Luciana Barrosa, don’t get along.

Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana Barroso, allegedly don’t get along — and Ben Affleck hates it

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is allegedly on the rocks in 2024. The couple rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022. However, several sources allege they’re headed for divorce. While Affleck and Lopez are having difficulties in their marriage, another source suggests Lopez doesn’t get along with Affleck’s best friend’s wife.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up down the street from each other and became friends as children. They helped each other in their acting careers, cementing their lifelong friendship when Affleck helped Damon in a fight at school.

Damon has been married to Luciana Barroso since 2005, and they have four kids together. A source explained to Life & Style that Damon met Barroso in 2004, “the same year” Lopez and Affleck broke up the first time. Barroso grew to know Affleck well until he reconciled with Lopez in 2021. Unfortunately, the source added that Barroso “grates on Jennifer’s nerves.”

“Lucy thinks she’s better than her,” the insider added.

According to the source, Damon and Affleck have been working hard to get Lopez and Barroso to a friendly place. “It never goes well,” the insider said. “Ben and Matt think it would be great if the four of them could jet to Mexico for a weekend. The guys can’t force them, but they’re getting awfully tired of this.”

Ben Affleck did not join Lopez. This shouldn’t surprise fans, given the recent reports suggesting that Lopez and Affleck spend more time apart and live in separate homes.

Damon showed his support for Lopez and Affleck in 2021. “I’m just so happy for him,” Damon told Extra while promoting Stillwater. “He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world. I’m glad for both of them.”

However, another source told OK! Magazine that Damon has “serious reservations” about his best friend’s wife. “He’s tried to be publicly supportive for Ben’s sake, but the fact is, he hates the way J.Lo treats his buddy and can no longer hold his tongue!” the insider stated.
