A source recently told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck's marriage is "not in the best place at the moment."

Another insider said that the pair's marital problems have had nothing to do with Lopez's status as a superstar, detailing that there have been "deeper issues" between the two.

"The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention on their marriage isn’t true," the source said.
