Jennifer Lopez’s efforts to maintain good relations with Ben Affleck’s closest friends, especially Matt Damon, appear to have hit a wall. According to an insider, the Good Will Hunting star, 53, is resolutely standing by his childhood friend, Affleck, despite Lopez’s attempts to get on his good side.
“Matt’s loyalty to Ben is unshakable,” a source exclusively told In Touch. While Lopez has been making an effort to stay on good terms with Affleck’s inner circle, particularly in light of their recent breakup, Damon remains indifferent. “It’s important to her to stay in good graces with Ben’s friends, even after the breakup,” the insider added. However, “Matt has never been close with J.Lo and is firmly on Team Affleck, no matter how hard she tries.”
The friendship between Damon and Affleck stretches back decades, originating in their hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their bond, strengthened by their Oscar-winning success on Good Will Hunting, has weathered the highs and lows of Hollywood.
For Lopez, keeping the peace with Affleck’s friends might have helped smooth the divorce process, but Damon’s deep-rooted allegiance remains unwavering. As Lopez navigates another public breakup, it seems winning over Affleck’s best friend may be a battle too tough to fight.
In the aftermath of her split with Affleck, it’s clear that certain allegiances, particularly Damon’s, won’t be easily swayed.
