Jennifer Lopez and her divorce

American actress and singer, Jennifer Lopez, 55 had wed actor Ben Affleck, 52 two years back. And now two years later, on the same date as their Georgia wedding, the couple filed for divorce. There were rumors floating now for several weeks about their split and divorce. But there was not any confirmation or statement from either parties.

Now, reports have emerged that Jennifer has filed in her divorce papers in court on 20 August 2024. The reason cited in the court documents are irreconcilable differences. But the real reason is different, insiders have revealed.

What is the real reason for the couple’s divorce?

Insiders have pointed out that it was not incompatibility or wide differences that led to the separation. But Ben used to belittle Jennifer repeatedly. Jennifer was upset and tired of it all. The source told Daily Mail:

“Jennifer said she was tired of being humiliated by Ben and she waited until the two-year anniversary because she wanted it to sting.”

However, the insider also revealed that what she had planned did not happen and Ben was not at all affected by her specific move on the specific date. The source stated:

“But it did not sting him,”
“He’s been done for a long time and deep down she knows this. He let her have this so that she wouldn’t look like the villain.”

But another source allegedly told US Weekly:

“The timing of the divorce was a big f–k you to Ben.”

In the divorce documents, Jennifer had stated that she and Ben already separated on 26 April 2024. She added that she does not want any spousal support from Ben. At the same time, she has asked the Judge to not allow Ben to have an spousal support.

Jennifer has also requested the court judge to let her change her name and drop Affleck’s name from her last name. TMZ has also reported that the couple had made no prenuptial agreement.

Earlier, the couple were together from 2002 to 2004. And after two decades, they rekindled their romance and wed at Las Vegas in July 2022 and later in Riceboro, Georgia on 20 August 2022. Jennifer had told People at that time:

“We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,”
“It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other. We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions.”

Page Six had alleged that the relationship started to have issues during their honeymoon in Italy.

Rumors on the separation

Speculations about a probable separation emerged in news tabloids when Jennifer was hosting the Met Gala in 6 May 2024 in New York City. At that time, Jennifer had walked the red carpet of the yearly fashion ceremony. But Ben was not with her.

Later, photos emerged of Ben moving out with his belongings from their USD 60 million home. He shifted to a rental place. Subsequently, Ben bought a USD 20.5 million home. The two also put up for sale the property that they had purchased together.

Besides the above clues of a split, it was noticed that Ben and Jennifer did not celebrate her 55th birthday together. Their second wedding anniversary came in July 2024. But they did not post anything on that occasion on their social media.

Though Jennifer was photographed at Ben’s rental home on his 52nd birthday few days back, later she was at musician Bruno Mars concert and had danced to the song Marry Me. But Ben was not seen there with her.
