Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's clashes over finances have 'exacerbated' marital issues as the actor is 'worn down' by singer's lifestyle: 'The honeymoon phase has worn off'
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's martial woes have been 'exacerbated' by rows over their finances, according to a new report about their 'rocky' relationship.
The couple, who married less than two years ago, are apparently taking time apart to work out whether their marriage is 'right for both of them', an insider told Us Weekly.
Their marriage has been under the spotlight in recent weeks, as sources claim they have hit a turbulent patch over their differing lifestyles, with reports stating that Ben has moved out of the couple's $60 million Los Angeles mansion and into a rented $100,000-a-month property in Brentwood.
Insisting the 'the honeymoon phase has worn off', the source said their differing approaches to both finances and parenting have taken a toll on their relationship.
Jennifer, 54, who is worth an estimated $400million, is said to have 'started ramping up her work commitments and prepping for her tour', and is 'very focused on her work and overextends herself'.

JLo is preparing to embark on her This Is Me... Live tour next month in support of her ninth studio album, both of which have faced criticism over disappointing sales.
The source went on to state that Ben 'doesn't agree with Jennifer's lifestyle' and now feels 'worn down' by their marriage.
Ben is said to have 'checked out' of their relationship and the insider added that he and Jennifer are on 'two completely different pages most of the time.'
Another source close to Jennifer suggested the couple's work commitments have also caused a rift, saying, 'both have demanding careers that often require them to be in different cities.'
With the pair forced to spend time apart in recent months as a result of their careers, the insider said the absence 'highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them.'
They said: 'Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments.
'They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict', the insider added, explaining that Jennifer prefers to confront issues head-on, while Ben isn't as quick to open up.
Jennifer — who, along with being a musician and actress has a line of successful deals with major brands — is worth a reported $400million while Ben is said to be worth $150million.
Jennifer recently stunned fans by self-financing a three-part project documenting hers and Ben's love story for a whopping $20million.
Meanwhile Ben has acquired much of his wealth through multi-million dollar film and production deals, but he recently earned $10million to appear in Dunkin' Donuts' Super Bowl ad.
