Why Jennifer Lopez Finally Filed for Divorce from Ben Affleck: 'She Was Done Waiting' (Exclusive Sources)

Jennifer Lopez is taking control.

Hours after the singer, 55, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on Tuesday, Aug. 20, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively that Lopez "was done waiting."

"She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken," adds the source. "The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”

Multiple sources previously confirmed that Lopez, who's mom to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024.

Lopez and Affleck — who is dad to Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 (with ex-wife Jennifer Garner) — have spent much of their summer apart.

The divorce news comes two years after the pair tied the knot at an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022. Aug. 20 marked the second anniversary of their second ceremony, held in front of family and friends in Georgia.

Another insider close to Lopez tells PEOPLE that the star is ready to "move on" from Affleck, 52.

"She's very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn't given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage," says the insider.

Lopez and Affleck most recently reunited on his 52nd birthday, which an insider told PEOPLE he spent having a small "celebration at home" with his kids.

"It's exactly what he wanted. He didn't want to go out to celebrate. The kids had gifts for him, and it was cute. Jennifer [Lopez] stopped by to congratulate him," the insider told PEOPLE, adding that Garner also stopped by his rental home in Los Angeles earlier in the day.

[quote] Jennifer Lopez Wants Judge To Deny Ben Affleck Spousal Support In Shock Divorce Filing

After months of speculation, Jennifer Lopez has finally pulled the trigger on her marriage with Ben Affleck.

The actress has reportedly filed for divorce from the actor, and she did so on a significant day for her and her estranged husband.

August 20, 2022, is the day Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had their elaborate Georgia wedding after eloping in Las Vegas a month earlier.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Lopez is requesting a termination of her two-year marriage to Affleck and has waived her right to request spousal support.

The "Monster-in-Law" star, reportedly worth $400 million, has also asked a judge to deny her husband spousal support in the case that he asks for one in his response to her lawsuit.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck at the L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday, reportedly in person without the assistance of an attorney.

The singer notably did not specify if she and Affleck, who is said to be worth $150 million, have a prenup, which means that the money made by both stars during their marriage is up for grabs.

Lopez, for instance, worked on the films "Shotgun Wedding," "This Is Me ... Now," "The Mother," and "Atlas" while they were married. Affleck, on the other hand, starred in films such as "Air" and "Hypnotic" and produced "The Instigators."

The couple also does not have a settlement agreement in place. Since Lopez and Affleck did not have any kids together, they would not have to fight over child support during their divorce.

In her court filing, Lopez revealed that the precise date she separated from Affleck was April 26, 2024. This date matches the period during which the couple's marriage started being plagued by split rumors, as they were no longer seen together in public.

She has four hundred fucking MILLION dollars and she can't just chill and be a wifey for five seconds? Has to fucking turn their marriage into a PRODUCT of COMMERCE? Has to embarrass her husband in front of the world and drain all of the romance and intimacy from the union? And in record time.

JFC you cunts are harsh. Have *none* of you ever rekindled an old flame? I certainly have. It ended up not working for the same basic reasons as the first one, and I'm guessing that's what Ben & JLo were hoping: that after a 20+ year interval they could get past the general immaturity and lack of knowledge how the world works and have a successful marriage this time.

Alas, they did not, and btw being narcissistic describes nearly every actor in Hollywood. NPD isn't at all the same thing, nor have either of them ever displayed any indicators of mental health problems (aside from Ben's drinking, drugging and gambling, but those aren't indicators of NPD or BPD).

They could have just been a couple until the kids were all grown up. There was zero rush. Her kids are both 16, and his are 12, 15 and 18. Why did they have to blend their families and rush everything only for it to implode? I remember being a kid and my mom getting married and divorced 4 times. It was a total drag, and it was traumatic, to keep gaining and losing dads and families. These two are insufferable.

Jennifer Lopez's ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez shared a cryptic quote shortly after she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

A-Rod, 49, posted a quote from himself to his Instagram Stories late on Tuesday, August 20, which read, "You either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction.”

It was Jennifer, 55, who pulled the plug on her marriage to Ben, 52, filing paperwork with the Los Angeles Superior Court earlier in the day to end their union. She did it on the two-year anniversary of the estranged couple's lavish wedding at the Air star's Georgia estate.

J. Lo and A-Rod were together for more than four years. They began dating in February 2017 and got engaged in the Bahamas in March 2019.

Sucks for the kids because they seem to have bonded. I think Ben is still in love with Garner but she's too smart to ever take him back.

by Anonymousreply 46August 21, 2024 9:30 PM

And I'm in the camp that Ben was NEVER in love with Jen Garner and felt compelled to marry her when she got pregnant with the first child. Because as someone upthread called her, she is a Church Lady. I do not think Ben would have EVER married Jen Garner had it not been necessitated by the unplanned pregnancy. Think about it -- why was Ben so miserable in his marriage that he took to drinking a fifth of whiskey every night and sleeping on the couch? Why did he feel, in his words, so "trapped," if Jen Garner was the love of his life?

Having said that, I bet he now realizes that JEn is a good woman, as good a woman as any. That there is more to life than lust and "freedom" - the freedom to fuck up your life as much as you want. That he was actually not as trapped or as miserable as he thought he was, and that his sweet family brings him more joy and stability than whatever he was restlessly seeking when he ended his marriage. He didn't end up anywhere better than he already was. And he is still co-parenting with her. I think hindsight might have shown him that the grass wasn't greener.

[quote] Jennifer Garner felt like a 'PAWN' in Jennifer Lopez's bid to fix her broken marriage to Ben Affleck - as insiders claim she was 'forced to play mediator' in her ex-husband's divorce

Jennifer Garner has been left feeling like she was used as a 'pawn' during the breakdown of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage, according to sources who claim her friends believe she was unnecessarily 'put in the middle' in recent months.

The superstar singer, 55, officially filed for divorce from the Gone Girl actor, 52, on Tuesday night following months of speculation - and just hours before what would have been the couple's second wedding anniversary.

Prior to the filing, Affleck had been pictured spending a significant amount time with ex-wife Garner - who previously adopted the role of 'marriage counsellor' to the struggling couple.

But those close to Garner, 52, feel she was forced to 'play mediator' to help the pair work through their issues in a way that would not impact Affleck's sobriety.

'Jen feels slightly used as a pawn in JLo's bid to repair her marriage,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'She doesn't believe it was intentional.'

'But when Jen realized her ex-husband's marriage was past the point of salvation, her only concern was Ben's well-being and sobriety.'

The source explained that the actress' close friends were extremely unimpressed with the way Lopez leaned on Affleck's ex-wife despite how complicated matters were for the trio.

'She was put in the middle and her friends think - no matter how you look at it - a man's ex-wife should never have to play mediator in a divorce from his new wife,' the insider said.

'Especially when said wife was a big love who Jen was compared to throughout their 13-year marriage. She is happy that Ben is now happy.'

Earlier this summer, DailyMail revealed that Garner had made a conscious decision to step back from the 'circus' surrounding Affleck and Lopez because the situation had unearthed 'painful' memories for the actress.

Now the star is primarily focused on co-parenting with Affleck – who has battled alcoholism and a gambling addiction for decades – as he navigates life after his most recent marriage, but will remain friendly with Lopez.

The source explained: 'In the end Jen Garner always has Ben's back and although she does consider JLo a friend now, no one sees this blossoming further.

'They will likely not be hanging out and going on bike rides together in the Hamptons.'

Affleck and Garner - who are parents to Violet, 18, Finn, 15 (formerly known as Seraphina), and Samuel, 12 - were previously married from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018.

Garner has since moved on with rumored fiancé, businessman John Miller, 46, who was reportedly left frustrated by how involved Garner was in trying to ‘fix’ Affleck’s marriage.

'John wants nothing more than for Ben to be okay, but it isn’t his girlfriend’s responsibility to play babysitter to him,' an insider told DailyMail.com in June. ‘That is for Ben to figure out on his own and for his wife to handle. It isn’t Jen’s responsibility, and he has told her this.’

As all parties move forward, it has been revealed that Lopez's own friends have suggested the star needs to 'look inside herself' after ending her fourth marriage as they are growing tired of her chaotic life.

My mom hasn't been alone for one second in probably 55 years. Her partner of the last 20 years just had a massive stroke and they took him away to the vet hospital. And she's like "I'm never visiting him, it's over, I am over it, he's crazy now." My mom is 74 and this will be WILD to see if she can handle living alone. I worry she is going to start flirting with a friend's husband or something and end up in an "entanglement." We shall see.

Ben isn’t a natural on screen; he is barely competent as an actor in my opinion but he is fine as fuck. He was trying to appeal to flyover fraus and middle America and save his career.

Pope Francis has wanted to make a lot of changes to the Catholic Church, and has become one of the most unpopular Popes with traditional Catholics (and there are millions out there). The Church thought it was a good idea to crown him as Pope with his progressive agenda - hoping to attract young generations back to the Church. They thought older Catholics would progress with him (starting with divorce in the Church). Boy, did this mis-fire. I think if they could do it all over again, The Vatican would've chosen someone else. I doubt they will be making this mistake again.

(As for me, I like him as a Pope and I'm glad he's progressive on so many issues. But even in my Parish in a liberal city, I'm in the minority - and I'm 60 years old).

[quote] Jennifer Lopez Drops Ben Affleck’s Last Name, Cites Reason Behind Their Divorce in Court Documents

Jennifer Lopez filed to drop Ben Affleck’s last name in their impending divorce as well as citing the reason for their split as “irreconcilable differences,” according to documents obtained by In Touch.

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer also requested that neither she nor Ben, 52, receive spousal support. J. Lo, 55, filed the documents on Tuesday, August 20, two years after their wedding ceremony in Georgia.

Many people didn’t realize that the Hustlers star legally changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck as she continued to go by Jennifer Lopez in the public eye. However, J. Lo once gushed about the importance of changing her last name to match Ben’s.

“People are still going to call me Jennifer Lopez. But my legal name will be Mrs. Affleck because we’re joined together,” Jennifer told Vogue in an interview published in November 2022. “We’re husband and wife. I’m proud of that. I don’t think that’s a problem.”

The Maid in Manhattan actress also revealed that she and Ben never considered changing his last name to Lopez.

[quote] If Ben Affleck Moves On After Jennifer Lopez, Singer’s ‘Gloves Will Come Off’: ‘She’ll Snap’

After Jennifer Lopez confirmed her split from estranged husband Ben Affleck by filing for divorce on Tuesday, August 20, a source exclusively tells In Touch that J. Lo is worried about her soon-to-be ex moving on too fast.

“Even before they separated, Ben complained about the state of their intimacy, so there’s no doubt he’s raring to get back out there and date,” says the source. “But J. Lo has put Ben on notice that if he reactivates his Raya profile or goes too far down the path of chasing tail, the gloves will come off.”

No wonder: Jennifer, 55, who reunited with the 52-year-old 20 years after their original romance, revealed that their 2004 split was her biggest heartbreak, saying, “It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right.” Now that the duo is facing another high-profile breakup, says the source, “Jen feels like Ben messed with her head. If he pushes her too far, she’ll snap.”

Did she only take Ben’s last name or did she take her other husbands as well? If Ben’s only, then she really did think he was her fairytale ending.

I wonder what their intimacy issues were. Not enough? To constrained? No stripper moves? I mean Jlo can grind and be sexy as hell as she showed in Hustlers. Maybe in real life she just wanted perfunctory sex.

R99 Her first husband who wrote a book (that JLow's lawyers successfully blocked) said that she never liked to experiment in bed and they always had sex in the missionary position.

That's probably why she's been engaged and divorced so many times. Ben looks like he needs a good blow job.

Seriously; "gloves will come off" if he dates - after she's filed for DIVORCE???

What, does she expect him to become a monk or a eunuch because he's decided to move on with his life and it will hurt her FEELINGS?

What an immature moron, no wonder he wanted to leave her ass (both times).

I like them both.

I think Ben is a fine actor; IMO he was excellent in "The Accountant," for example. And "Air" (though Matt is the lead).

JLo is a talented entertainer, whether or not her recordings are really her.

But as the cliche goes, two can love without necessarily being compatible, let alone good for each other (See: Burton, Taylor and).

One thing's for relatively certain: Marc Anthony won't be her next. He robbed the cradle for his current wife.

I know this is going to come off awkwardly, however, I want to point out that this relationship, whether a fabricated PR set up or authentic, truly highlights the importance of identifying & working on resolving/healing attachment disorders for both men & women, whether gay, bisexual, trans, or straight.

Unresolved attachment issues can literally ruin one’s ability to flourish in a healthy manner, all the way from cradle to grave. It’s a bigger deal than many people recognize or even stop to consider.

I've said this elsewhere but she is the typical Latin woman. She wants a man to dominate her in bed and pay her bills. A figurehead for normality in a Latin household. Repuditly, he speaks Spanish better than she does, so he always has been into that culture. Since she can't control him due to addiction, she parades her relationship to keep him, as in I'm doing everything for us BS. My parents and Latin and Leos just like J & B. Being a child in a tug-of-war marriage sucked. They take sides, then they get back together…exhausting.

She realized there was nothing more she could get financially out of the marriage. That's the reason she filed for divorce.

He's a terrible partner. He cheated on her the first time with various people, including a stripper, who he ate out in front of other people (including Christian Slater & his former wife).

She's a terrible partner too. She knew he's had a drinking problem for over 2 decades and she continued to drink in front of him. There were photos before this latest marriage of her and Ben at a restaurant and her drinking a big glass of wine. Then she came out with a range of alcohol mixers and continued drinking in front of him.

They're both awful people. They're SCUM. They used their kids for publicity during all of this. Ben's ALWAYS used his kids for publicity. But Jlo didn't use to. But she sure does now. Neither of them will ever be in a honest relationship. They'll never be happy.

She can go find her next victim and he can go back to having inappropriate sexual relationships (with strippers, babysitters, married women etc) and ignoring his kids. At least until he has another project coming out or has a project that's up for an award
