This is the potential reason behind JLo-Ben Affleck's alleged split
What's the story
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, a high-profile Hollywood couple, are reportedly on the brink of divorce.
The pair has spent the summer apart and recently put their shared Beverly Hills mansion on the market, signaling a potential split.
While the exact reason for their separation remains unconfirmed, reports suggest that the launch of Lopez's new cocktail line may have contributed to tensions in their relationship.
Alcohol contention
Lopez's cocktail line reportedly strains the relationship
Lopez's alcohol brand, Delola, which launched last year, has reportedly been a significant point of contention between the couple.
Affleck, who is a recovering alcoholic, found the launch of this brand particularly hurtful.
A source close to the couple stated that Affleck saw the alcohol line as an affront to his sobriety struggles.
"Ben had to fight to get his life back after overcoming alcohol," shared a friend of Affleck.
Inside details
Her alcohol line impacted Affleck gravely
The source told Daily Mail, "Ben had to fight to get his life back after overcoming alcohol. Knowing how he lost everything including the love of his family, knowing that he could possibly relapse, Jen decided to start her own spritzer line for more money, as if she did not have enough."
"This was one of the things that broke the camel's back. But Ben saved his sobriety."
He felt as if she was "rubbing his face in it."
Documentary discontent
Affleck is also displeased with Lopez's documentary
Adding to the strain, Affleck was reportedly also unhappy with Lopez's documentary This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which delves into their past relationship issues.
Despite being a private individual, Affleck was unable to convince Lopez to stop the production of the documentary.
This disagreement over the film further exacerbated tensions between the couple, contributing to their impending separation.
Separate lives
The couple is seemingly preparing for separate futures
Recent developments indicate that both Lopez and Affleck are preparing for life apart.
Affleck has purchased a new mansion in Los Angeles, close to his children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
On the other hand, Lopez has sold her New York condo and celebrated her birthday without Affleck's presence.
Recent reports suggest that the divorce papers have already been signed and the announcement will happen soon.
