Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly on the brink of announcing their divorce, with insiders suggesting the separation has been a long time coming. A close friend of the couple recently revealed to Page Six that their marriage has been over for some time, and with progress made on the terms of their split, both Lopez and Affleck are confident there’s no turning back.
The couple, who famously rekindled their romance decades after their initial engagement, seem to have finally closed the chapter on their relationship. “They’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business of 20 plus years ago. They’ve seen things through to the end and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul. No further unanswered questions. They’ve seen all they need to see, and it’s over,” the friend stated, indicating a sense of finality between the two.
The source further hinted that the impending divorce might become “the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever,” given the couple’s immense wealth. Both Lopez and Affleck are among Hollywood’s elite, with Lopez enjoying global success in music and acting, and Affleck carving out a significant career in acting and directing. As a result, the divorce proceedings are expected to be complex and costly.
Preparations for the split are already in motion. The couple has listed their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion for sale, signaling the beginning of their asset division. Additionally, various artworks they purchased together are also being sold, with the proceeds set to be split between the two.
“Ben has already found his new home and Jen is about to choose hers. It’s totally decided and there is no interest, inclination or reason to back out,” a source close to Affleck shared. The source emphasized that the couple’s estrangement is evident and that their decision to divorce is firm, leaving no room for reconciliation.
Although the official divorce announcement is expected by the end of the summer, it’s clear that both Lopez and Affleck have already moved forward with their lives, each preparing to start anew. As the public awaits the final word, it marks the end of yet another chapter in the high-profile relationship that has captivated fans for years.
