The Heartbreaking Reason Why Jennifer Lopez Filed for Divorce From Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, ending their two-year marriage. The couple separated months ago, with court documents listing April 26, 2024, as their separation date. Lopez, the mother of 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, marking the same day as their second wedding anniversary.
According to sources close to Lopez, she “was done waiting” for Affleck to make their marriage work. Despite her efforts, Lopez felt “heartbroken” over the situation. The source added, “She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken. The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”
Throughout the summer, Lopez and Affleck, who has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, spent much of their time apart. Their split comes two years after their intimate Las Vegas wedding on July 16, 2022, followed by a larger ceremony in Georgia.
An insider close to Lopez shared 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 revealed. Lopez is now focused on moving forward with her life.
