Ben Affleck recently sparked plastic surgery rumors after being spotted looking extremely different. Many people believe that Jennifer Lopez pressured him into getting the cosmetic work done. Now, Ben is more miserable than ever.
So what’s going on with Ben’s bizarre appearance lately? The truth about what he did to his face, and what it means for his marriage is honestly insane.
On Sunday, May 5th, Ben made an appearance at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast. The Daily Mail reported that he left the audience completely stunned for a couple of seriously strange reasons. People were mainly shocked by how Ben’s face looked.
He recently shaved off his facial hair for one of his movie roles, but that wasn’t the only noticeable difference. The skin on his face also appeared to be super shiny and very tightly stretched. It quickly led to rumors that he’d had some type of plastic surgery.
However, viewers of the comedy special were also taken aback by Ben’s set. Instead of focusing on roasting Tom, he spent his time on stage angrily ranting about social media critics and trolls.
But what happened the next day was incredibly surprising. The following day, JLo walked the red carpet at the Met Gala. She also served as co-chair for the event.
Despite how important his wife’s role was, Ben was noticeably missing. It turns out that his absence and his misdirected anger the night before were due to an absolutely crazy reason.
Ben Didn’t Want to Get Botox
According to what a source told In Touch Weekly, Ben was pushed into getting fillers and Botox by JLo. He supposedly never wanted to get any work done, but she wanted him to be able to keep up with her youthful looks. She allegedly wouldn’t drop the issue until he agreed to it.
After Ben’s unexpected facial transformation was dragged online following his appearance at Tom’s roast, he was allegedly even more upset. So, he decided to completely skip the Met Gala. The insider claimed that Ben is taking accountability for giving in to JLo’s demand that he cosmetically change his face, but he’s still unhappy.
Now, the couple is reportedly having another unbelievable disagreement. The source explained that Ben supposedly never wants to get any other fillers or Botox again, and plans on aging gracefully from now on.
JLo is allegedly trying to convince him that he looks amazing after getting injectables. She actually wants him to agree to get “a little facial maintenance” again in the future.
Apparently, that might not even be a concern for long. The future of Ben and JLo’s marriage is totally up in the air. In a separate report by In Touch Weekly, an insider revealed that JLo’s “need to make their relationship so public and perfect” has been pushing Ben away more than ever lately.
The source added that Ben has been feeling so “overwhelmed and henpecked” by JLo that he can barely stand being around her anymore. After they were seen in New York City at the end of March, they weren’t publicly spotted together for over a month.
Ben Has Allegedly Moved Out
The insider said that Ben is fed up with living in JLo’s shadow and has been taking time to himself. But his decision to distance himself from his wife might not just be a temporary fix.
According to another In Touch Weekly source, Ben has allegedly moved out of the house he and JLo shared. They claimed that the couple is even headed for divorce because he’s sick of dealing with her controlling behavior.
His decision to call it quits wasn’t only based on her pressuring him to cosmetically alter his face. Ben has supposedly been miserable in his marriage for quite a while now.
JLo has allegedly expected him to change himself in so many outrageous ways. According to The Things, she even has a list of super strict rules for him to follow.
Even though JLo and Ben have a team of hired staff to keep their home clean, she still expects him to make sure it looks spotless. She allegedly freaks out if she catches him making a mess, even if he just accidentally forgets to put a dish away.
There’s another rule she supposedly has for him that’s seriously insane. JLo reportedly requires Ben to work out with her whenever she hits the gym, which is multiple times a week.
When they first got back together, she supposedly even created a strict diet and exercise plan for him. Even if JLo was looking out for Ben’s best interests by trying to keep him healthy, demanding that he follow her fitness regime is definitely a little much.
JLo Keeps A Close Eye on Ben When They’re Together
She also added some really specific clauses to their prenup, and they’re truly unbelievable. One of the conditions JLo reportedly included in the prenup was that she and Ben are required to be intimate with each other at least four times a week.
She also added a clause that stated that they cannot spend more than five days apart from each other. If their work schedules don’t line up and could potentially cause them to be separated for more than five days, one of them has to travel to the other.

But that’s not all. JLo even expects Ben to FaceTime with her every single day that they’re apart.
If he’s not happy because of everything she forces him to do, wouldn’t demanding that he communicate with her daily just make their issues worse? It sounds like Ben is never allowed to have any space or time to himself.
Your Tango revealed that part of the reason JLo won’t give him much breathing room might be because she’s concerned that his past sobriety struggles will resurface, and he’ll end up relapsing. JLo supposedly tries to keep Ben’s sobriety on track by testing his drinks to make sure he isn’t consuming any adult beverages.
She also keeps a close eye on him while they’re out together. She even controls how much money he tries to tip servers.
The outlet reported that a since-deleted TikTok, posted by someone claiming to have worked at an establishment that JLo and Ben visited, exposed the couple for being cheap. The employee explained that JLo is allegedly so stingy that she often tells Ben not to leave a tip.
JLo Refused to Respect Ben’s Request for Privacy
JLo’s need for Ben to constantly communicate with her if they aren’t together is extreme. It’s one thing to make sure they’re checking in with each other so they don’t grow apart during busy times, but her treating him like a child can’t be healthy for their relationship.
On top of the crazy, over-the-top rules JLo has for Ben, she expects him to make a big change for her. Even though he’s notoriously private, she wants him to be spotted out in public with her all the time.
According to CNN, in JLo’s recent documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, she admitted that Ben wasn’t comfortable with being the muse for her projects. In one scene, he even confessed that one of his main requests was that their relationship wasn’t on social media.
Ben said that he realized that it wasn’t for him to ask JLo to keep their romance off the Internet. He added that although they’re very different people, they were trying to learn how to compromise.
JLo also acknowledged that Ben was a “reluctant participant” in her documentary. But she claimed that he supported her anyway since he knew he couldn’t stop her from making art. Honestly, it sounds like she didn’t give him a choice in the matter.
Ben brought up that he and JLo had to learn how to compromise. Based on everything she’s demanded of him throughout the years, it doesn’t sound like she’s interested in compromising with him.
If the reports about Ben moving out and the couple being headed for divorce are true, it really wouldn’t be surprising. He’s been making countless changes for JLo, but it never seems to be enough for her.
