Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ‘Are About to Announce Their Divorce in a Joint Statement’

For months, international gossip has been claiming that Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez were on the road to divorce. But for months he had also claimed that the two stars – who got engaged in late 2002, broke off their relationship in 2004, reunited in July 2021 and married in a double wedding in 2022 – were doing everything they could to save their marriage (even writing each other love letters like at the beginning of their relationship). Now the Bennifer 2.0 fairy tale really seems to have reached its final chapter. A chapter that would have nothing to do with the fairytale happy ending desired by the most romantic. According to the Daily MailIndeed, Ben and J.Lo have already finalized their separation («they just have to deposit the papers») and they are about to announce it to the world “with a joint note”. A statement in which they will “explain how much love they feel for each other and how much they fought, unsuccessfully, to make it work.” At least, that’s what friends of the former couple told the British tabloid.

On the other hand, the two stars, according to rumors, had been living separate lives for months. And in fact, they haven’t been seen together in public for months. The only exception was last June, when they attended his son Samuel’s basketball game (a chilly reunion that had strengthened the divorce rumors). Not only that: Ben and Jen spent time apart it’s the second wedding anniversaryon July 16th, both the 55th birthday of the singer, on July 24. And Affleck, in recent days, would have taken advantage of his wife’s Italian holidays to complete the moving from mega villa in Beverly Hills which they had bought together just last year for around 60 million dollars and which they have been selling for weeks now. The star had already left the family home some time ago to move into a rented apartment in a luxury neighborhood in Los Angeles. Then, last July 24, he allegedly bought a bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades worth $20.5 million: «A stab in the heart» for J.Loas reported to the Daily Mail from the ex-couple’s own friends.

What exactly triggered the crisis between the two stars is not known. According to the gossip, Ben and J.Lo would have totally different personalities and lifestyles. And, due to their respective work commitments, they wouldn’t have enough time to live together. All this, in the long run, would have worn down the relationship: «They will never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him and he can’t change her», an insider told the American press a few weeks ago. Adding: «There’s no way this can go on». The (dire) prophecy, according to the latest rumors, is about to come true: Ben and J.Lo have already signed the divorce papers. They will soon file them, and then communicate the breakup to the world with a joint statement.
