Jennifer Lopez is experiencing a rollercoaster of feelings after her split from Ben Affleck.
An insider revealed to People that she’s doing her best after filing for divorce on August 20, the date marking two years since their Georgia wedding. Sources say Lopez is not one to surrender easily, and it hurts deeply because she feels abandoned by Affleck.
“Ben’s decision to step away from their marriage and move on has been incredibly tough for her,” shared a source. “She didn’t want this divorce; she wanted to work things out. They still love each other. It’s like torture for her, waiting and hoping things might change.”
It’s interesting how fans often wonder why celebrities can’t seem to make relationships last when they have everything.
Last week, when the news of the divorce surfaced, insiders pointed out that Affleck wasn’t willing to put in the effort anymore. Some said he struggled with Lopez’s public lifestyle while he preferred living away from the spotlight. Now Lopez deals with these emotions along with managing the legal side of getting divorced – something that seems to be a relief for her according to People’s source.
“After starting the divorce process, she looks relieved,” they mentioned. “Her close ones agree it’s for the best. She’s surrounded by support and love right now. She’s strong; she’ll get through this and come out stronger.”

A while back, another source told People that Lopez tried hard to make their relationship work but was left heartbroken.
Lopez and Affleck first dated in 2003 with plans to marry, but they called off their engagement in 2004. They found each other again in 2021 and tied the knot in an extravagant Georgia ceremony in August 2022 after eloping quietly in Vegas a month earlier. 💔
