- Appreciates its positive aspects
Jennifer Lopez (55) and Ben Affleck (52) haven't found marital harmony, but they're reportedly handling their upcoming divorce amicably. Sources close to "People" magazine claim that both celebrities are maintaining a positive attitude after Lopez's divorce petition.
Affleck seems content in his current situation, residing near his kids and enjoying a neighborhood he loves. An insider hints that he's "putting in the effort" and "very much focused on the positive," doing well and gradually moving into his new dwelling.
Lopez, too, seems to be finding solace in the good. A second source confirms her satisfaction with her life, despite feeling a tinge of bitterness about the split. The 55-year-old reportedly "put her all into it," but "Ben wasn't interested," the source adds. Lopez is seeking comfort in family, friends, and her children, consistently finding a ray of hope in challenging circumstances. Although the divorce is difficult, she's determined to press on.
Rocky beginnings in their honeymoon retreat?
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in the early 2000s but ultimately ended their engagement. Some time later, they walked down the aisle once more during the summer of 2022. Affleck was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner (52) between 2005 and 2018, and they share children Violet (18), Fin (15), and Samuel (12). Lopez was wed to singer Marc Anthony (55) in 2004 and welcomed twins Max and Emme (16).
Recent American media reports indicate that Lopez filed for divorce in August, listing the separation date as April 26, 2024. Months of rumors about relationship issues had been circulating. A Page Six source suggested that Affleck was allegedly displeased with the persistent paparazzi attention during their Italian honeymoon at Lake Como. When they weren't being snapped, they "seldom spoke to each other," the source alleged, hinting that this was supposed to be the happiest time of their lives.
Despite the rocky beginnings during their honeymoon at Lake Como, where allegedly Affleck was discouraged by persistent paparazzi attention, Lopez and Affleck are now reportedly handling their divorce amicably. Marriage, unfortunately, hasn't brought them marital harmony, but they're both showing resilience and positivity in their current situations.
