Jennifer Lopez is still obsessed with getting ex-husband Ben Affleck back — over a year after he filed for divorce and ran for the hills, according to sources.
Insiders say she’s even turning to witchcraft and astrology in a last-ditch attempt to bring them back together again.

“She’s refusing to accept that this is the end, she’s convinced that there is more to their story and will not let go,” says an insider.
The Hustlers star, 56, is also spending a fortune on all sorts of woo-woo stuff like tarot readings, chakra alignments and space clearing. According to a former makeup artist, J.Lo was once reportedly said to have a Santeria practitioner named Merle Gonzalez, who conducts voodoo rituals on her behalf.
“As if burning sage and chanting under the new moon will bring Ben running back.” says the source.

Another sign Jenny is not moving on from the Ben Block: She is still living in the $68 million mansion they shared, over a year after they put it on the market, according to Daily Mail. Experts say they need to slash the price by at least 15 percent if they’re really serious about selling.
While Ben would happily agree to a reduction because he can’t wait to move on with his life, J.Lo reportedly refuses.
“Living in the house they bought together is so unhealthy,” says the source. “One thing about Jennifer is she’s incredibly stubborn. When she’s convinced of something she won’t quit. It’s one of the secrets of her massive success and a great trait in that sense, but it’s not a positive thing when it comes to her love life — it’s keeping her stuck.”

Insiders point to other incidents as evidence she’s hoping to get Ben back by clinging to the past, like when she took Ben’s 13-year-old son, Samuel — her former stepson — on a shopping spree in Beverly Hills while dressed for the club in a crop top and low-waisted black pants, per Daily Mail.
The insider called that stunt “cringey,” adding, “That was so bizarre and such an obvious attempt to get Ben’s attention. It got his attention all right, but not in a good way.”
