Jennifer Lopez claims that her relationship with Ben Affleck is so much better the second time around. And we wonder if part of their relationship being better this time is also down to her following in Beyoncé’s footsteps and allegedly setting a strict set of rules for him to follow.
Jennifer Lopez Reportedly Sets Rules For Ben Affleck To Follow
According to reports, the 54-year-old multi-hyphenate has learned a lot from her previous relationship with the 51-year-old Gone Girl actor – who she previously said she had PTSD from! – as well as her previous relationships with other men such as Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, and more. Check out some of the rules the Marry Me actress allegedly has for Affleck below…

No Female Flight Attendants
According to Us Weekly, the “Can’t Get Enough” singer doesn’t allow female flight attendants on any of her private planes due to then-husband Marc Anthony allegedly having a fling with a female flight attendant. A source told the pub at the time: “J-Lo won’t let female flight attendants work. She brings her own male flight attendant who is not a flight attendant, but a ‘personal assistant.’”
A Strict Diet And Exercise Regime
As the singer is in incredible shape herself, it doesn’t surprise us to learn that she allegedly wants her partners to follow suit. According to Ok!, she wanted the Batman v. Superman actor to be in great shape before their wedding, and put him on a strict diet and rigorous exercise plan. “She expects him to pick up the slack and wants him working out every day and eating right, no excuses,” a source said at the time.

Access To His Phone At All Times
This rule is perhaps something the Delola mogul founded after her relationship with Alex Rodriguez, not her previous relationship with Affleck. If you’ll recall, when J-Lo and A-Rod were still together, there were several rumors going around that he was cheating on her with reality star Madison LeCroy. Although LeCroy has clarified that nothing ever happened between them, she did tell Andy Cohen that the baseball star had contacted her and the pair had exchanged private messages.
Must Get Along With Marc Anthony
It makes sense that the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” hitmaker wants to co-parent her children in the best and most amicable way possible, so her current partner getting on with ex-husband Marc Anthony, who is the father of her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, is a must.
“They’re very close and act like the best of friends,” an insider once told Hollywood Life. “They are a family unit for everything. They have such a healthy, open relationship and tell each other a lot. He looks at this as if Ben makes her happy, then she should be with Ben. He wants her to live a life that brings her happiness and he really means that. All exes should be like them!”

No Over-Tipping Servers
The Tender Bar actor reportedly once tipped a cocktail server $10,000 at a Las Vegas casino – only for the “On the Floor” singer to allegedly later turn up and take it away. According to a woman on TikTok: “Jennifer immediately snatched the money, said ‘hell no!’ and took it back.” Another former casino employee echoed this in a since deleted TikTok, reportedly adding: “[Lopez] tells [Affleck] not to tip. He doesn’t tip anymore, baby! You don’t need to tell him nothing, he ain’t doing it.”
Keeping The House Spotless
The Shotgun Wedding actress is known for her cleanliness, and has reportedly insisted that her husband keep their house spotless at all times. TheThings once reported that she has even instructed him to never leave a dish out!
No Smoking Or Drinking
The Hustlers star has always had rules around drinking, with her reportedly limited ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez to three drinks maximum per night. Affleck has his own rules for drinking now that he is living a life of sobriety due to his previous alcohol addiction, but his wife reportedly likes to keep him in check by implementing random sobriety tests. J-Lo has reportedly also banned smoking inside the house, too.
