Ben Affleck will leave Jennifer Lopez ‘depressed’ and looking for love when he moves on quickly to ‘get over his feelings’ says Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger – as she weighs in amid divorce rumors
Jennifer Lopez will be left ‘depressed’ in the wake of her divorce from Ben Affleck, according to Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger, who believes the actor will soon move on to another woman in an attempt to deal with his emotions.
Speculation is rife that Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, are headed for divorce after two years of marriage, with the couple living apart for weeks.
Now matchmaker Stanger, 63, has spoken out about their embattled union, predicting that the Hit the Floor singer will be left to deal with her emotions as Affleck discovers a new love interest for himself.
‘It’s much easier for the man to come [a woman]so JLo will probably be very depressed if she tries to date someone else,” she told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘There are not enough quality men for women.

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger believes Lopez, 54, will remain ‘depressed’ in the wake of her split from Affleck, 51, who will continue to deal with his feelings
‘[Men] are spoiled, their egos are inflated and men age better.
“Gisele [Bundchen] is beautiful. JLo is beautiful. They are probably the two people who normally work in the aging department.
‘But women brood, men move on to the next one to get over their feelings. It’s a completely different dynamic.’
Stanger’s prediction comes after popular TV host and addiction specialist Dr. Drew speculated that their relationship may have crumbled because of her “love addiction.”
On the latest episode of TMZ Investigates, titled JLo and Ben: Missed Warning Signs, film producer Jon Peters, 79, stated: “She’s a love addict, look at the men she’s been with. She can’t be alone.
“She needs a man in her life, she’s never really spent time developing herself.”
Dr. Drew, 65, then delved further into the topic, explaining that love addiction is very real and can be extremely damaging to a relationship.
“There are actually thousands of people involved in 12-step programs who identify as love addicts,” he said.
The couple has worked together on several fronts, including attending Affleck’s son Samuel’s recent basketball game (pictured)

‘The characteristics of this include not having great boundaries, they tend to get sucked into relationships easily and easily, they are difficult for people, and once they are in they can’t get out come.’
Jennifer has been linked to many men over the years and has walked down the aisle four times.
In 1997, she married producer Ojani Noa, but they separated after less than a year.
Months later, she started dating Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, but they went their separate ways in 2001 after two years of dating.
She then quickly married dancer Cris Judd, but they divorced in 2002.
She then started dating Affleck, and they quickly got engaged, but called it quits in 2004, just before they were about to become husband and wife.

Millionaire Matchmaker star Stanger told DailyMail.com: ‘JLo will probably be very depressed if he tries to date someone else’
She exchanged vows with Marc Anthony in 2004, and they were married for more than six years before announcing their split in 2011. They are parents of 16-year-old twins Emme and Max.
And just four months later, it was revealed that she was dating dancer Beau ‘Casper’ Smart.
They broke up in 2016, and that same year rumors broke out that she was dating rapper Drake.
In 2017, she dated Alex Rodriguez, and in 2019 they were getting ready to get married.
But in 2021, they called off the wedding and announced their split.
She reconciled with Affleck soon after, and the two stars married in Las Vegas in July 2022.
Affleck, who is parents to his three children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, has also dated a string of famous faces, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Lindsay Shookus and Ana de Armas.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Affleck and Lopez hired real estate agent Santiago Arana of The Agency to sell their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion that they bought last year.
On Sunday they spent four hours at a summit meeting at the 12-bedroom property which recently appeared on estate agents’ websites despite being removed when they bought it in May last year.
Last month, Lopez was photographed checking out properties in Beverly Hills with her longtime production partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. Affleck was not present. A source later told Page Six that she was looking for an investment property.
Reports that their marriage was under strain began to swirl when the oft-pictured couple were not spotted together for 47 days.
At the time, Lopez attended the premiere of her Netflix film Atlas and the Met Gala solo, while Affleck was pictured without his wedding ring on more than one occasion.
Since then, they’ve put on several united fronts, including the recent graduation of Affleck’s son Samuel and the basketball game where the couple shared an awkward air kiss.
