Jennifer Lopez’s close friends have long-standing dislike for Ben Affleck, including manager Benny Medina, sources claim.

The honeymoon is officially over, at least according to Jennifer Lopez’s inner circle. Sources close to the pop icon are alleging that her team has a less-than-stellar opinion of her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Amid rumours of a troubled marriage and subsequent split, insiders are claiming that Affleck’s behaviour has been a major point of contention, with some going as far as to label him a “triple-A a–hole.” An old photograph of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez from when they were engaged.

Benny Medina’s disdain for Ben Affleck dates back to first split

According to Page Six, some of Jennifer Lopez’s close friends have never been fond of Ben Affleck, dating back to their initial relationship and breakup over two decades ago. Among them is Lopez’s long-time manager, Benny Medina. His disdain for Affleck reportedly dates back to the couple’s failed engagement in the early 2000s, as a source revealed to the outlet.

“The two of them can’t stand each other. They don’t get along and there’s still bad blood,” the insider added. Jennifer Lopez and her long-time manager Benny Medina have a relationship that’s both professional and deeply trusting. Medina, who played a crucial role in elevating Lopez from a dancer on the 90s sketch show In Living Color to a global superstar, was a key figure in her rise to fame. Despite their close bond, Lopez and Medina went their separate ways in 2003.

And now insiders have disclosed that Affleck was supposedly one of the reason for that split. The Jenny From the Block singer however didn’t let go of Medina and rehired him in 2004. This reconciliation came few years after she ended her relationship with Affleck for the first time while also calling off their engagement.
