In a whirlwind of emotions, Jennifer Lopez finds herself grappling with feelings of anger and humiliation following her recent split from Ben Affleck.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Affleck is delaying the divorce proceedings, aiming to shield Lopez from further embarrassment.
This unexpected twist has left many questioning the dynamics of their relationship.
Lopez, 55, is reportedly fuming over the way things have unfolded.
According to insiders, Affleck, 51, was the one who initiated their reunion, which makes the current situation all the more painful for her.
“He has humiliated her,” one source explained, emphasizing that Lopez had publicly declared Affleck as the love of her life.
Their relationship seemed like a fairy tale, especially after their two lavish weddings in 2022.
The couple rekindled their romance in July 2021, shortly after Lopez’s breakup with Alex Rodriguez.
Their love story dates back to 2002, when they starred together in the infamous film “Gigli.”
Fast forward to 2022, and they eloped in Las Vegas before celebrating again in Georgia.
It felt like a dream come true, but reality has proven otherwise.
Lopez has poured her heart into her latest album, “This Is Me, Now,” and an accompanying documentary titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” both inspired by her relationship with Affleck.
She is known for her romantic nature, and this public display of affection only adds to her current distress.
The emotional investment she made in their relationship seems to be crashing down around her.
Adding complexity to the situation are the couple’s children.
Lopez shares 16-year-old twins, Max and Em, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children—Violet, 18, Finn, 17, and Samuel, 12—with his former wife, Jennifer Garner.
With five kids caught in the crossfire, Lopez is reportedly struggling to accept that this chapter of her life is closing.
Sources indicate that Lopez was particularly close to Affleck’s daughter, Violet, which makes the separation even more challenging.
The thought of blending their families had been a significant factor in their relationship, and now, the reality of its dissolution weighs heavily on Lopez’s heart.
Affleck recently purchased a lavish $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades, California, after listing their shared residence for a staggering $68 million.
This move adds another layer of complexity to their split, as it signifies a new beginning for him while Lopez is left to pick up the pieces.
Despite the emotional turmoil, Affleck is reportedly being very protective of Lopez during this difficult time.
Sources claim that he is holding off on filing for divorce to prevent causing her additional humiliation.
