Thursday, August 1, 2024 - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly set to file for divorce after months of split rumors.
According to Daily Mail, the 51-year-old 'Last Duel' actor
and the superstar singer, 55, are pushing ahead with divorce after a final
attempt at reconciliation in recent weeks failed.
The couple's divorce documents 'are finalized, but not yet
turned in', multiple sources have claimed.
The news follows Affleck buying a new $20.5 million
'bachelor pad' mansion in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the
day Lopez turned 55.
Friends of Lopez's claimed Affleck's sudden bachelor
pad purchase on her birthday had been a 'stab to the heart'.
His purchase came days after the couple listed their Beverly
Hills mansion for $68 million.
July 24 also marked the day Lopez also finalized the sale of
her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, People
reported.
‘They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but
are waiting for the right time to drop them,' one source close to the duo
claimed.
'At that time, they will release a joint statement that will
say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work,
but couldn't.
'Honestly, in the end, they could not come to a compromise.
What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it,' another source
claimed.
The pair were last pictured together on March 30. They have
since spent the summer apart; Jennifer largely on the East Coast while Ben
remains at home in Los Angeles.
They even spent their second wedding anniversary on July
16th in different cities.
Reports of Affleck and Lopez's marital woes began
circulating in May when a source close to the couple reported Ben had moved
into a $100,000 rental and the couple intended to sell their 'dream home'.
Affleck's home was just a short drive from
ex-wife Jennifer Garner's Brentwood house.
The couple were married from 2005 to 2018, and share
children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
