Jennifer Lopez Struggles with Divorce from Ben Affleck, Feels ‘Disappointed’ by Split
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly feeling deeply disappointed and upset over her divorce from Ben Affleck, according to a source close to the couple. The insider revealed that the decision to end their marriage has been particularly hard on Lopez, especially since their troubles began months before she officially filed for divorce. The couple started experiencing marital issues as early as May, which eventually led Lopez to file for divorce in August on their second wedding anniversary.
The source mentioned that Lopez finds it challenging to continue living in the large Beverly Hills mansion they purchased in 2023. The house, meant to be their family home, has become a painful reminder of their time together. The 38,000-square-foot mansion, which includes 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, was listed for sale in June, two months before Lopez filed for divorce. The residence, once filled with hopes for their future, is now filled with memories that make Lopez uncomfortable.
Throughout the summer, Lopez and Affleck spent most of their time apart, fueling speculation about their relationship troubles. Lopez remained in New York City after attending the Met Gala, while Affleck stayed in Los Angeles to film “The Accountant 2.” Their physical separation led to them missing several significant milestones together, including the Fourth of July, their Las Vegas wedding anniversary, and Lopez’s 55th birthday. Despite their separation, Lopez made a special trip to see Affleck on his 52nd birthday in mid-August, but it seems that visit wasn’t enough to bridge the growing gap between them.
Insiders suggest that Lopez didn’t want the divorce and hoped they could work things out, but the relationship had already deteriorated too much. Affleck, on the other hand, appears to be managing the situation differently. He was recently seen dining with his friend Matt Damon and Damon’s wife, indicating that he is focused on moving forward. Despite their best efforts, the couple could not reconcile their differences, leading to the end of their marriage.
For those who might not remember, Lopez and Affleck’s relationship first began in the early 2000s. They rekindled their romance in 2021, shortly after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2021 and later celebrated with a larger ceremony in Georgia. Now, just two years later, their journey as a married couple has come to an end, leaving both to navigate their separate futures.
