According to a source who spoke with InTouch Weekly, Jennifer Lopez was always in close friendship with Victoria Beckham.

The source explained: “JLo has always really liked and admired Victoria, and when she was married to Marc Anthony, they became very close. They used to hang out a lot. After she and Mark broke up, she and Victoria fell out, but she still considers her a friend.’

Lopez reached out to Victoria during a difficult time in June 2014, when her marriage to Marc Anthony was falling apart.

A source confirmed that Lopez and Victoria were once “best friends” and shared a bond that seemed unbreakable. However, that friendship now appears to be under strain after Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

It seems the Beckhams have shifted their focus to Affleck, who is returning to the role of commercial director. In fact, Affleck even enlisted David Beckham to join him and his best friend Matt Damon for a new beer ad.

Lopez’s deep bond with the Beckhams has now become a point of tension, with a source claiming Affleck’s new romance with them “upset her”. According to the insider, “Ben suddenly attacked them,” which made Lopez jealous.

According to a source who spoke to InTouch, Ben Affleck hasn’t completely moved on from Jennifer Lopez, even after filing for divorce. The source claims that Affleck spends time with old friends of Lopez just to spite her.

“She’s convinced he’s only doing this to spite her,” the insider said, adding that when they were together, Affleck “never showed any interest in hanging out with them, even though JLo swears she offered it a few times times”.

Lopez reportedly believes Affleck is trying to steal her friends to get a reaction out of her. The source explained: “Now all of a sudden he’s hanging around a lot of her old friends and just picking up trash. She directly accused Ben of trying to steal her friends to raise her up.’

According to an insider, even though she claims to be moving on, Lopez is still fixated on her ex. “She claims she’s moved on from Ben, the truth is quite the opposite. While she talks a good game about moving on, the truth is she’s still as obsessed as ever,” the source said.

In contrast, another insider revealed that Affleck was “making fun of her arrogance,” adding, “The way he says it, all he wants to do is put J.Lo in the back of his mind and not think about her at all.”
