Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez on the Brink: Divorce Papers Set to Be Filed— A New Path For Both

According to SAEDNEWS, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who have been facing marital difficulties for several months, are reportedly heading toward divorce after unsuccessful attempts to reconcile.

According to a source cited by DailyMail, the 51-year-old star of Gone Girl and the 55-year-old singer of “On The Floor” are moving forward with their split and finalizing their divorce paperwork. Multiple sources have indicated that the couple has "finalized" their divorce documents but has "not yet submitted" them.

This surprising development comes on the heels of Affleck’s recent purchase of a $20.5 million bachelor pad mansion in Pacific Palisades, which occurred shortly after Lopez hosted a Bridgerton-themed birthday celebration. Notably, Affleck was absent from the birthday festivities, though Lopez was still seen wearing her wedding rings.

“Things were finalized regarding the divorce papers about a month ago, but they are waiting for the right moment to officially file,” an insider revealed. “When they do, they plan to release a joint statement expressing their love for one another and acknowledging that they fought for their relationship but ultimately could not make it work.”

Another insider added, “In the end, they just couldn’t reach a compromise. What they once had is gone, and they’ve both accepted that.”

In related news, Lopez recently sold her Madison Square Park penthouse in New York City for $23 million, seven years after it was first listed.

Friends of the singer have previously commented to RadarOnline that Affleck's decision to buy his own home felt like a "stab to the heart" for her. “Ben’s move is the final insult,” one friend remarked.

Since tying the knot in July 2022, the couple has not been seen together in months, further fueling speculation about their relationship troubles.
