All of us are aware that Jennifer Lopez has officially initiated divorce proceedings against Ben Affleck, but the full story behind their split remains a mystery. Despite a swirl of speculation and whispers, what we do know comes from an anonymous source who spoke to People magazine.
The source disclosed, “Jennifer Lopez is deeply disappointed and heartbroken, but Ben hasn’t shown any signs of wanting to save their marriage. His lack of effort and interest in keeping their relationship intact has left her with no choice but to put herself first.” The insider suggested that Lopez decided it was best to move on.
Following the divorce news that surfaced on August 20, Page Six revealed that the couple did not enter into a prenuptial agreement before their 2022 wedding at one of the Las Vegas wedding chapels. Still, there’s no concern that either will be left in financial trouble. Ever since rekindling their romance in 2020, the public has been treated to countless images of Bennifer 2.0—showing affection, holding hands, and engaging in PDA at various events. So, when they suddenly stopped appearing together at Red carpet events in early 2024, rumors of a rift quickly began to spread. It wasn’t long before reports surfaced that Affleck had moved out, with insiders pointing to conflicting views on fame and Lopez’s hectic career as contributing factors.
But who knows? Perhaps, in another 20 years, we might witness Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reviving their romance once more, maybe even tying the knot again at one of those legendary Las Vegas wedding venues.
