Jennifer Lopez's Mom Tells Her To 'Move On' From Ben Affleck After Wasting Years Believing He's A Knight In Shining Armor: Report
Jennifer Lopez's mom and sisters want her to get on with her life and leave her husband, Ben Affleck, according to an insider.
Lopez's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, allegedly gave her daughter unsolicited advice about her marriage to Affleck. Rodriguez reportedly told J.Lo to end her marriage with the "Gone Girl" actor amid months of rumors they are heading for divorce. Affleck and Lopez have been living separately and even put their $60 million marital home for sale.
"Jennifer's mom told her, 'Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess,'" the insider told the Daily Mail.
"She told her that she's wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor. He was not the person she built him up to be. It's taken too much of a toll on her, and because of this, she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for."
The anonymous tipster also claimed that Lopez' sisters, Leslie Ann and Lynda, share their mom's sentiments. They are allegedly concerned that the "Let's Get Loud" singer has lost perspective on what her marriage has become.
"Jennifer currently feels like Ben does not deserve her and her sisters agree," the tipster continued. "They want Jennifer to be happy, of course, but they feel their sister is getting so caught up in what it was supposed to be that she isn't seeing it for what it is now. They want her to file for divorce first and get on with her life -- focus on her kids and career."

The tipster also claimed that Lopez's family is upset that Affleck couldn't see how lucky he is to have a woman, loved by millions, who is willing to "love him eternally." The "Batman" actor allegedly prefers to "throw in the towel than actually just try to fix things."
Meanwhile, another source previously told Page Six that Lopez and Affleck's marriage "has allegedly been over for months." Jacqueline Newman, a managing partner at the matrimonial law firm Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein LLP, also believed they had already signed their divorce papers because they were "dropping hints about their marriage ending."
A different insider alleged they "sunk a fortune" building up their joint brand. J.Lo and Affleck reportedly had several projects in the pipeline, but they were "pretty much all down the drain" as they were based on the "Bennifer brand" and the celebrity couple had been rumored to be getting a divorce.
