The ongoing divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has reportedly taken a bitter turn following a public fight in Beverly Hills. Recent reports claim the former Hollywood power couple, who tied the knot in 2022, are struggling to maintain civility as tensions rise amidst their split.
According to a new report by Marca, the two were seen sharing tense moments during an outing with their children in Beverly Hills. Ben Affleck was spotted with his children, Samuel and Fin, while Jennifer Lopez was with her twins, Max and Emme. What started as a family day soon turned emotional, with pictures capturing Lopez wiping away tears while Affleck stood stoically nearby. The heated exchange has ignited rumors that the couple’s divorce may be even more strained than previously thought.
A source close to Jennifer Lopez revealed to In Touch magazine that while she did her best to remain composed in front of the children, she is deeply hurt by Affleck’s cold behavior. “Jennifer would never make a scene in front of the kids, but she’s made it clear she’ll never forgive Ben for being such a cold-hearted jerk and giving up on their marriage,” the insider claimed. The source further added that Lopez has been deeply affected by Affleck’s attitude during the separation, which has only intensified the emotional strain.
Initially, both Lopez and Affleck had intended to keep things civil for the sake of their children, but it appears the mounting tension is becoming harder to hide. With divorce proceedings officially underway, the cracks in their relationship are now surfacing publicly.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has always been a topic of public fascination. The couple originally met in 2002 on the set of Gigli and quickly became one of Hollywood’s hottest couples. They got engaged later that year, but their wedding was postponed in 2003 before they eventually broke up in 2004. However, their love story reignited in 2021, and they married in a lavish ceremony in 2022.
Despite rekindling their romance, things took a sharp downturn earlier this year when Lopez officially filed for divorce. It’s been reported that they had been separated since April, and while they’ve made a few public appearances together since then—most notably at a family brunch—insiders have noted that the divorce proceedings are still ongoing.
Tensions Rise Amid Divorce
The divorce has been anything but smooth, with both parties reportedly growing frustrated with the situation. According to sources, Affleck’s cold and dismissive demeanor, including gestures like rolling his eyes, has only fueled Lopez’s anger. As their fragile truce wears thin, it’s becoming evident that emotions are running high. Lopez is said to be particularly upset by Affleck’s refusal to take responsibility for the breakdown of their marriage. His apparent indifference to reconciliation has left Lopez fuming, despite her earlier hopes that they could find common ground.
Affleck, who initially moved into a $100,000-a-month rental home before purchasing a $20 million house in Pacific Palisades, seems to have no interest in returning to the relationship. This has further aggravated Lopez, who is now eager to finalize the divorce as quickly as possible.
As the divorce proceedings continue to play out, insiders close to the couple suggest that Lopez is determined to end things swiftly, with one source saying, “The sooner the ink’s dry on the divorce papers, the better it’ll be for everyone.”
As the details of their split continue to emerge, it’s clear that the road ahead will be difficult for both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. What started as a hopeful reconciliation has now become a bitter battle, with emotions running high on both sides. For now, both celebrities seem focused on their children and moving forward separately, though the tension between them suggests that the fallout from their breakup is far from over.
