Reports suggest that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are now progressing with finalizing their divorce following an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile.
Sources close to the couple have disclosed that they have taken steps towards completing the separation process.
The divorce papers have been reportedly signed but are yet to be submitted to the judge. The couple is said to be waiting for the opportune moment to finalize their split, aiming to issue a joint statement acknowledging their love and the efforts made to salvage their relationship before ultimately choosing to go their separate ways.
An insider shared with the Daily Mail, “They finalised the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them.”
“At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t.”
“Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it.”
Ben Affleck’s recent real estate acquisition
The news follows Ben Affleck’s recent purchase of a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades, situated near the residence of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Friends of Jennifer Lopez perceived this purchase, which aligned with her 55th birthday, as a poignant development, describing it as deeply affecting.
“Ben already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for,” an insider revealed to In Touch in late March.
“They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
