After unsuccessful reconciliation efforts, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reportedly finalized their divorce. Sources indicate that the couple has signed the divorce papers, awaiting the optimal moment for submission to the court.
Close associates of the Hollywood pair disclosed that a recent attempt to mend their relationship did not succeed. The Daily Mail reports these sources stating the paperwork is prepared but not filed.
The couple plans to release a joint statement highlighting their enduring respect and affection for each other and their attempts to salvage the marriage. An insider shared with the Daily Mail, “They finalized the divorce papers a month ago and are choosing the right time to announce it publicly.”
The source added, “The upcoming statement will acknowledge their deep care for each other and their struggle to make the relationship work, which, unfortunately, did not succeed.”
This development follows Ben Affleck’s acquisition of a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades, near Jennifer Garner’s residence, coinciding with Jennifer Lopez’s 55th birthday—a move sources say deeply hurt Lopez.
