Ben Affleck Is ‘Flirting Up a Storm’ With Jennifer Lopez: Report

Ben Affleck “has been flirting up a storm with Jennifer Lopez” despite the couple’s pending divorce, according to a new report by In Touch Weekly.

A source told In Touch that Affleck’s behavior is concerning his “loved ones, including ex-wife Jennifer Garner.” They’re worried the actor is “getting sucked back in and that he’s playing with fire in more ways than one,” the report says.

“Ben’s got a very addictive personality, and a lot of people think now that he’s sober, he’s switched vices and become a love addict,” the source told In Touch.

The source added to In Touch, “For one thing, he’s messing with J. Lo’s head, which is not kind. And it’s also sending mixed messages to the kids, which isn’t healthy.”

Ben Affleck Is Just Trying to Have a Little Fun,’ Reports Say

The source told In Touch that the flirting doesn’t mean Affleck, 52, wants to get back together with Lopez, 55.

“It’s obviously giving him some sort of buzz to be sort of back and forth with J. Lo, even though he has no intention of going any further than having a little fun,” the source told In Touch.

The source added to In Touch, “It’s just putting everyone back on this awful roller-coaster. It really seems like he’s falling into a very toxic pattern, in the long run, this isn’t going to be good for anyone.”

Added the source to In Touch, “It just seems very self-destructive to be going down this path and people are begging him to get a grip and start acting with a little more intention instead of just following every urge he gets.”

Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 after two years of marriage, TMZ reported. She dated the couple’s separation to April 26, and they are still hashing out the details, according to TMZ.

The In Touch report comes after Page Six reported that Lopez and Affleck were kissing and holding hands at a family brunch after the divorce filing.
