Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly experiencing tensions due to the latter's alleged refusal to take responsibility for their pet family.

Insiders claim this leads to an unpleasant atmosphere in the sixteenth month of their marriage.

A witness revealed to an outlet that the abode is a complete madhouse - with eight dogs and a cat. Unfortunately, none of the canines have been taught how to behave, meaning that the house is always filled with frantic barking and furry pursuits as the pooches go after their feline friend.

Truly A Pandemonium At JLo and Ben's Home

The National Enquirer's source has revealed that Jennifer Lopez is determined to care for her pet critters and constantly calls on the Oscar winner to help - especially when cleaning up after them.

She reportedly insists that she's the only one who puts in an effort and hates having to ask for assistance with scooping the poop.

According to the insider, Ben feels the solution is just a matter of throwing money at it. An informant stated, "He figures he can pay somebody else to take care of it. This rubs Jennifer the wrong way as she believes he has adequate time to handle his matters instead of taking the lazy approach."

A Familiar Sight For All

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's beloved pets in the house eagerly running towards the "Gone Girl" actor, much to the singer-songwriter's dismay.

According to sources close to the couple, these animals cannot get enough of him. Every time he leaves the house, they start whimpering and wanting to accompany him. The "Jenny From the Block" singer has no choice but to give them treats so that they stop bugging her.

Rumors about strife in the relationship between Ben Affleck and his partner have also been circulating for some time, with sources claiming that it is due to his lingering closeness to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Allegedly, these troubles were compounded when Ben collided with another vehicle while out and about with his ex-wife in Santa Monica, as she witnessed him receiving all the benefits of their outing without having to contribute any effort - which had become a significant source of her ire.

Rumors have also been swirling that JLo is not pleased with her partner's entitled attitude due to his privileged lifestyle.

Sources allege that there seems to be a power struggle between them, which may be causing deeper issues in their relationship.

However, the mole has remarked that Ben's habit of taunting his wife with jokes about her jealousy of their dogs in front of his friends is not going over well. An insider observed, "It's all super childish."

Still, taking these rumors with a grain of salt is best.
