Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially going through divorce proceedings. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, as she and Affleck allegedly agreed that she’d be the one to pull the trigger on the end of their marriage. A source recently said that Lopez’s friends and family see a “major shift” in her attitude post-filing.

Jennifer Lopez hoped to see her marriage to Ben Affleck last. The exes first fell in love in the early 2000s before calling off their engagement in 2004. They both went on to have other marriages and later reunited in 2021. Lopez and Affleck fell in love again and tied the knot in 2022. Unfortunately, just two years later, Lopez filed for divorce.
A source told People in August 2024 that Lopez feels “upset and disappointed” with Affleck.
As of October 2024, another source claimed that Lopez is ready to move forward with her life post-Affleck. A source told Life & Style that “friends and family have noticed a major shift” in Lopez’s attitude. “She decided to do some introspection — she says four divorces will do that. Get ready for an all-new J.Lo — she wants to start a new chapter.”
The source added that Lopez felt “overprotective” of Affleck and his history of alcoholism, adding tension to their romance. “That backfired by making him resentful, adding more stress to their marriage,” the insider noted. “Now, Ben is panicking. He’s afraid she’s sharing too much and is making him look like the bad guy in the relationship.”
