Jennifer Lopez is getting frustrated with husband Ben Affleck as he isn\u2019t pulling his weight when it comes to tending to their pets<\/p>\n

There\u2019s trouble in paradise for Jen and Ben<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Getting hitched in Las Vegas last year seemed to be a fairytale Hollywood ending for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, but an insider says the honeymoon period is well and truly over as the pair are clashing over the many pets they have, Between the two of them, there are eight dogs and one cat living in their \u00a348.7mil Beverley Hills mansion and Jen is losing patience with how soft on them Ben, 51, is, according to an insider.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a complete zoo at the house. None of the dogs are properly trained, so they\u2019re constantly barking and racing around the house chasing the cat, it\u2019s chaos and of course it drives them both nuts,\u201d they say. \u201cJen swears she\u2019s the only one that ever disciplines them or deals with their mess, she\u2019s always nagging Ben to help out more and to at least pick up their poop.
“His answer is to hire people to do it for them, which is logical, but it really bugs Jennifer because he has more than enough time on his hands right now to do it himself so in her view, he\u2019s just being lazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2021, a van from animal clean up company POOP 911 was spotted pulling up to Ben\u2019s LA home. Jennifer has also been a frequent customer of the same poop scoop company. Before getting back together with Ben in 2021 after 18 years apart, Jen, 54, had boxer dogs Roxy and Bear, Labradors Lady and Buddy, Mastiff Champ and goldendoodle Tyson – who she adopted for her son Max 15, in 2020. In December 2021, she introduced a kitten, Hendrix, to her fans on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Jen is a big animal lover<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Jen – who is also mum to Max\u2019s twin Emme, 15 with ex Marc Antony – hit the headlines in 2016 for treating her pups to a glamorous spa day. During the family\u2019s vacation in the Hamptons, Jennifer paid a local dog spa to close to the public, so that Roxy, Bear, Lady, Buddy, and Champ could have complete privacy. After arriving in a limo, they spent the day getting massages, hot oil treatments, pedicures, baths and blow-dries. This led to local Hamptons residents complaining that they had to wait until the late afternoon before their dogs could book an appointment.<\/p>\n
Ben adopted German Shepherd Hutch in 2015 with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and later got Labrador Martha. Then, a month after Ben and Jen got hitched, the pair were spotted leaving an animal shelter with a cardboard box, sparking a rumour they had added another furry friend to the family. The insider explains all of the pets have a fondness for Ben and it\u2019s irritating Jen because she\u2019s the only one who runs around after them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pets all seem to gravitate towards Ben, to the point that Jennifer gets jealous. She makes jokes about being chopped liver but as much as she laughs, there really is an element of truth to it. The dogs especially can\u2019t seem to get enough of Ben, they all race to him when he walks in the room. If he leaves the house they start whining and want to follow him. Jennifer has to give them treats to get them to calm down,\u201d the source shares, adding, \u201cBasically, he gets all the perks, with none of the work, which is one of her biggest frustrations with him. When she gets riled up, she typically complains about how easy Ben\u2019s had it in life, and how entitled that\u2019s made him, so no doubt this whole pet issue is a trigger for a much bigger issue between them. But Ben doesn\u2019t get it at all and acts like the whole thing is hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oscar winner Ben \u2013 who shares daughters Violet, 17 and Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 11 with his ex-wife Jennifer – even teases Jen in front of his friends about being jealous of their dogs and it infuriates the singer.
They say, \u201cHe claims it\u2019s all in good fun, but there\u2019s a passive aggressive element, too. Jennifer is confrontational but Ben\u2019s style is to do these micro-aggressions and get under her skin. It\u2019s all super childish and not exactly toxic but it\u2019s not healthy either. \u201cThey do really love each other but they\u2019re both such dominant personalities, it\u2019s hard. And then with all the pressure that comes along with their high profile, it all gets magnified.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple reunited after two decades apart<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time the couple have a war of words since tying the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022. In May, photos appeared to show Jen and Ben having strong words on the red carpet of the premiere of her film, The Mother. Days later, a video of Ben looking frustrated and slamming the passenger door of his car after Jennifer got in went viral on social media.
Fans took to Twitter to comment that Ben looked \u201cmiserable\u201d and \u201cstressed.\u201d Another said, \u201cHe always looks like he’s fed up and annoyed.\u201d Then, shortly after that, video footage emerged of the couple in a tense conversation in the car when they stopped at a red light. Ben, who was driving, looked visibly upset as he talking to Jennifer as she sat in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n
Jennifer, however, appeared more reserved and quiet as her husband spoke and gestured wildly throughout the discussion. The tourist that filmed the exchange said it was \u2018pretty clear’ by Ben\u2019s body language that he \u201cwas frustrated or irritated\u201d while Jennifer appeared \u201ctimid\u201d. \u201cThere were a lot of hand gestures, Ben was waving his hands up and down and it looked heated,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
And it isn\u2019t just cleaning up after the animals that has ruffled Jennifer\u2019s feathers – it\u2019s also Ben\u2019s teenage behaviour around the house, including leaving the toilet seat up and leaving towels strewn about their home.<\/p>\n

Ben\u2019s laid-back attitude is triggering Jen<\/p>\n

The source says, \u201cJennifer has been raging on Ben a lot due to his bad habits.\u201d
\u201cShe\u2019s tried and tried to train Ben on good bathroom etiquette, but he just doesn\u2019t get it. He leaves the toilet seat up, never replaces the toilet tissue, leaves the sink area a mess and doesn\u2019t fix the towels after he\u2019s used them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair have even been sleeping in different rooms.\u201cThey have separate bedrooms and their own master bathrooms, but it\u2019s the common spaces she\u2019s talking about. She\u2019s on his case but Ben doesn\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe did a good job of hiding it when he was wooing her. He was on his best behaviour. All she had to say was\u2019 jump\u2019 and he\u2019d say how high. But now that he\u2019s got his prize, the honeymoon stage is over and his true nature is coming out and unfortunately he does not take well to being told what to do, especially by his wife. And Jennifer doesn\u2019t seem to get it at all because she\u2019s constantly nagging him.\u201d<\/p>\n
