Jennifer Lopez wants Ben Affleck to quit smoking, according to a report.

Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, have been married for nearly two years. The Hollywood actor reportedly quit most of his vices since rekindling their romance, except for smoking. However, the actress-singer allegedly wants him to stop the unhealthy habit.

"J. Lo loves Ben, but she's tired of his nasty cigarettes," an unnamed insider told Life & Style. "She put up with his smoking at first because it's his only vice left, and she didn't want to be a nag, but she can't stand it."

The outlet noted that the "Justice League" actor did try to quit smoking in 2005 with the help of hypnosis. The "Let's Get Loud" singer now hopes that he will find a way to give up smoking for good this time.

"She hates cigarette smoke, and what's worse, she's smelling it on his clothes. While Ben goes outside to smoke now, she'd rather he not smoke at all," the insider continued.

Meanwhile, an anonymous source recently claimed that Affleck behaves differently when he is around his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and his current spouse. The "Batman" actor allegedly seems more relaxed when around Garner, the mother of his three children.

"He seems so relaxed and, well, happy when he's with Jen, but with J. Lo, he seems tense, even angry at times," one tipster told the same outlet in a separate report. "Ben put Jen through hell when they were together, but they've worked past all of that. There's been a lot of healing, and they may be closer now -- as friends -- than they were when they were a couple."

Patti Wood, a body language expert and author of "Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language & Charisma," also shared her professional opinions after examining Affleck's photos with Garner and Lopez. Wood noticed the "playful" interaction between Affleck and Garner.

"What I like is she's truly happy. She has that great open mouth, front upper teeth fully exposed, and you can see what I call 'a smile crushed eyes,'" Patti said after analyzing one photo of the exes. "I also like that his body lean is toward her. That tells me they're sharing a laugh. He's got a grin. He's getting a little secret pleasure from the moment."

She added that Garner and Affleck seemed "grounded together." Meanwhile, the expert claimed Affleck appeared "slightly worried" and tensed in one photo with Lopez where they kissed. There were also reportedly elements of "worry, fear, surprise and sadness" in another shot with the "Marry Me" actress.
