While they quietly broke up in 2020 before reuniting in 2021 \u2014 reportedly because he was ready for marriage and she wasn\u2019t \u2014 her position has evolved. \u201cShe wants to marry him,\u201d says the source, \u201cbut she\u2019s in her feelings about spending less time with Ben. It feels like an impossible decision, yet she knows she can\u2019t move forward with John when her ex-husband is constantly in the picture. It\u2019s just not an easy one because Ben was the love of her life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s said as much before. \u201cI didn\u2019t marry the big fat movie star; I married him.
