Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck wanted so much for their love to work out the second time around. But last week the singer filed for divorce – what now?
The days after a breakup are always the hardest. It takes a while to realize that life is completely different now and that you are going your separate ways. Another heartbreak milestone is making the breakup official. In Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s case, this happened on August 20. The singer filed for divorce.
Although neither of them has yet made an official statement about their break-up, as is often the case with celebrities, the details of the proposal have already leaked out. The official date of the separation is set for April 26, 2024. The two, who were trying to get married for the second time in their lives, seem to have gone their separate ways for around four months. According to a source, the filing on August 20 was no coincidence, but rather a malicious intention on the part of the singer, as their wedding celebration was dated to this day two years ago.
Jennifer Lopez returns to social media
Five days have passed since the divorce was officially filed, what have the two ex-partners been up to since then? Ben Affleck was seen eating ice cream with two of his children on August 23rd, and his appetite has not diminished. According to celebrity portal “Page Six,” the actor is also said to be spending time with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter, Kick Kennedy. A source told the portal that they saw both of them in the Polo Lounge of the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel and at other celebrity hotspots. Kick Kennedy is said to have declined to comment on his relationship with Ben Affleck, and the request to Affleck has so far remained unanswered.
Since their separation, Ben Affleck is said to have sought protection and advice from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The couple’s marriage, which produced three children together, broke up in 2015 and the divorce was finalized three years later. Since then, the parents are said to have been on friendly terms and Garner, who has a new partner herself, has also been interested in the success of Ben’s marriage and has supported him with advice and support. It goes without saying that she is and will continue to be a strong support to him during the separation.
Jennifer Lopez has been pretty withdrawn, by her standards. The singer is normally very active on social media, but nothing happened on her Instagram account for about a week, until last Friday. Three days after filing the divorce papers, the 55-year-old posted a selfie on her Instagram story. She appears in front of the camera with a lascivious look, perfectly styled in pink terry cloth pajamas. But one detail is confusing upon closer inspection. In the background is a decorated Christmas tree. Apparently this is not a recent photo, but one that she particularly liked and remembered. So the question arises, does she want to make her ex jealous with this photo or why did she choose an older picture?
