Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly finalizing their divorce after a turbulent period marked by ongoing rumors and publicized conflicts. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married two years ago, have been struggling to reconcile their differences despite multiple attempts.
Sources indicate that the final straw was Affleck’s purchase of a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades, which has been dubbed a “bachelor pad.” This move came on the heels of Lopez selling her New York City penthouse for $23 million, signaling a significant shift in their relationship dynamics. The couple had also listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, adding fuel to the rumors of their impending separation.
The couple’s attempts to salvage their marriage reportedly failed, with Lopez celebrating her birthday and their anniversary separately, further highlighting the growing distance between them. Affleck’s decision to purchase a new home without Lopez’s involvement was seen as a particularly hurtful act, described as a “stab in the heart” for Lopez.
Their divorce documents are said to be finalized but not yet submitted, with plans for a joint statement expressing their mutual love and the effort they put into making their marriage work.
