Jennifer Lopez is reportedly experiencing a sense of relief following her decision to file for divorce from Ben Affleck, despite her initial reluctance to end their two-year marriage. A source close to Lopez shared with People magazine, “It’s been incredibly difficult for her that Ben chose to pull away from their marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind.”
The source added, “She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up. It’s been almost torture for her to wait around.” Lopez, best known for her hit songs like “On the Floor,” seems to be finding solace now that she has taken the formal step of filing for divorce from the “Hypnotic” star.
The filing occurred last week in Los Angeles, and an insider revealed, “Her family and friends agree that it was the right decision,” noting that the singer-actor is “surrounded by a lot of love and support” and will “be fine” because “she’s strong and always comes out on top.”
Since the announcement of their split on the second anniversary of their wedding in Georgia, Lopez has kept a low profile and hasn’t been seen in public. She filed for divorce without legal representation and cited April 26 as their separation date.
In contrast, Affleck, 52, has been more visible around Los Angeles. Recently, he was seen appearing cheerful while picking up his food order from a delivery driver at his Brentwood rental home. Additionally, sources indicate that the “Batman” star has been spending time with Kick Kennedy, adding a new dimension to his post-split life.
As Lopez navigates this challenging period, her decision to file for divorce marks a significant step in moving forward, with the support of her loved ones and a growing sense of relief despite the difficulties of the past months.
