The Hollywood power couple’s marriage has sadly come to an end after just two years. Fans are left heartbroken by the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce, and many are wondering what led to their separation. Sources close to Lopez have shed light on what drove her to file for divorce.
On August 20, 2024, Lopez, mother to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, officially filed for divorce at the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The documents indicated that the couple had been separated since April 26, 2024. Throughout the summer, Lopez and Affleck, who shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, spent much of their time apart.
A source close to the situation revealed that Jennifer “was done waiting.” Despite her efforts to save the relationship, she felt deeply heartbroken. “She tried hard to make things work and is heartbroken,” the source said. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”
The news of their divorce comes exactly two years after their intimate Las Vegas wedding on July 16, 2022, and on the same day as the second anniversary of their larger ceremony in Georgia.
An insider close to Lopez mentioned that she is ready to “move on” from Affleck. “She’s very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage,” the insider shared.
