After months of swirling rumors, Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, and the reasons behind this decision seem to stem from an unexpected source—Affleck’s growing bond with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Sources close to Lopez reveal that seeing photographs of Affleck and Garner appearing more like a couple than just co-parents was the final straw for her.
An insider shared with InTouch Weekly that Lopez had been holding onto hope for a reconciliation with Affleck, but his lack of effort in mending their relationship left her feeling neglected.
Instead of focusing on their marriage, it appeared that Affleck was more interested in spending time with his children and Garner.
This realization hit Lopez hard, leading her to question whether she was merely a pawn in Affleck’s attempt to win Garner back.
The source elaborated on the emotional turmoil Lopez faced, stating that throughout their brief marriage, Affleck often spoke fondly of Garner, almost idolizing her.
This constant comparison became a significant issue for Lopez, especially during arguments when Affleck would seemingly run back to his ex for support.
The insider emphasized how painful and humiliating this situation has been for Lopez, leaving her feeling betrayed and confused.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Page Six reported that Lopez and Affleck were recently spotted together, holding hands and sharing kisses, despite their ongoing divorce proceedings.
However, the nature of their interactions has been described differently by various sources.
While some claim they were affectionate during a brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, others, including TMZ, suggest there was no public display of affection at all, indicating a colder atmosphere between them.
Interestingly, the couple was seen dining at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, where they were again observed holding hands.
Their children were present but seated at a separate table, which raises questions about the dynamics of their family interactions amidst the unfolding drama.
Despite the apparent closeness, reports indicate that the atmosphere during their outings has been tense.
The contrasting narratives about their behavior—whether affectionate or frosty—only add to the intrigue surrounding their relationship.
Are they truly rekindling their romance, or is it simply a facade for the sake of their children?
The confusion doesn’t end there.
Page Six also mentioned that Lopez and Affleck were seen engaged in what looked like a serious conversation inside a vehicle parked outside a venue, further fueling speculation about their current status.
With so many conflicting accounts, it’s tough to decipher what’s really going on between these two.
Lopez’s emotional state seems to be a rollercoaster, oscillating between hope and heartbreak.
