Ben Affleck is reportedly pushing to divorce Jennifer Lopez, after branding the union a ‘fever dream’.

Amid swirling split rumours, PageSix has claimed Affleck, 51, is ready to call an end to his two-year marriage, going as far to claim the decision to tie the knot was down to ‘temporary insanity’.

A source told the site that the Oscar-winning Argo star has ‘come to his senses’ after previously being so in love with the 54-year-old Atlas actress that he could not think straight.

While he has been spotted spending quality alone time with Lopez in recent days, he now feels his head is ‘clear’ and he can move on.

‘If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,’ the PageSix source said.

‘He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.’

People also made claims on Monday about how they do not align when it comes to public attention, but their source maintained that they will stick it out as they have a ‘great love story.’

The two have also been looking at new homes, it was claimed, after they bought a $60M mansion together last year, though a source told PageSix that Lopez’s is only for ‘investment purposes.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to a rep for Lopez and Affleck, but has not heard back.

Fans started to notice that something might be wrong with the power couple after they had not been photographed together in almost two months.

However, the pair had busy careers: he was filming The Accountant in Los Angeles and she was working on co-chairing the Met Gala in New York City.

Headlines that they were on the rocks made the rounds.

But then suddenly Lopez was seen smiling at her husband when his child Seraphina was giving a performance in her school play last week. Ben did not look as enthused.

They were seen out together again over the weekend as he drove toward a garage by Soho House in Los Angeles.

He was holding onto a cell phone that read Jennifer Affleck on the front; it is not clear if he was holding her cell phone or if he was calling her from his phone even though she was sitting right next to him.

This time they were smiling and seemed more in sync. Both have been wearing their wedding rings.

The two have a complicated history.

They first fell in love on the set of their movie Gigli and got engaged but split in 2004.

They got back together in 2021, and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 before having a big ceremony later in Georgia.

Eyebrows were raised when she wrote about their love in her movie This Is Me… Now, in which he appeared, and she was seen melting down alongside him in the accompanying documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In the documentary he made it clear he did not like his wife sharing his old love letters.

He also addressed their different approached to fame: ‘Getting back together, I said, “Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.” Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, “Well, I don’t like the water.”‘

Together they have been co-parenting his kids with Garner – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – as well as her two teens with Marc Anthony – twins Max and Emme.

People also made claims on Monday about how they do not align when it comes to attention.

‘They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,’ said a source. ‘Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.’

It was added it is just not ‘his way’ to share so much of his personal life.

‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers. There is no question their different styles clash,’ added the source.

‘There have always been clashes in their styles, how they handle issues, and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years. This is a great love story,’ the insider shared. Seen in March

A third source, from the music world, relayed: ‘She needs that expression but Affleck simply is not comfortable with it. After a while it causes tension in the relationship.

‘He is more introspective and private. She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. This makes them considerably different, and it has been difficult in the day-to-day relationship.’

The People source was more optimistic than the Page Six source saying they will stick it out.

‘There have always been clashes in their styles, how they handle issues, and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years. This is a great love story,’ the insider shared.
