A recent image of Jennifer Lopez sporting her ‘Ben’ necklace amidst ongoing divorce proceedings with Ben Affleck has raised speculation about their relationship status. However, fans may be disappointed to learn that there’s no indication of reconciliation.
The singer, known for hits like On The Floor, initiated divorce proceedings on August 20, just two years after they married in Las Vegas. This came two years after the couple reunited following a two-decade separation. Divorce filings indicated their separation dates back to late April.
During this tumultuous time, Affleck even moved out, with the couple spending their birthdays and second wedding anniversary apart. Their relationship seemed to be on the rocks.
However, there were recent sightings of them together at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their children, where they were observed leaving in the same vehicle and reportedly sharing a kiss, suggesting that remnants of their affection might remain.
A photo surfaced on social media showing Lopez wearing a necklace dedicated to her estranged husband. It sparked curiosity about a potential rekindling of their romance, but this isn’t the full story.
This image, shared by Lopez’s beauty brand, was actually taken months prior, when she was still attempting to convey positivity in light of their challenges. It was deleted soon after fans noted her jewelry, reinforcing the idea that their relationship is indeed heading toward dissolution, despite their recent encounter on September 14.
What led to the divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck?
Lopez filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences not long after releasing a documentary that highlighted their romance and reunion two decades after their initial relationship.
The couple’s differing schedules and personalities seemed to create friction, with Lopez’s extroverted nature conflicting with Affleck’s more introverted behavior, often avoiding media attention.
“There was certainly love,” an insider shared with PEOPLE. “Yet, Ben’s unpredictable mood swings became apparent, despite his attempts to conceal them from the media.”
“Affleck can shift from being joyful and affectionate to revealing his darker emotions,” the source continued.
“They tried to navigate through it, but the volatility and toxicity became overwhelming. Ultimately, everyone must confront their own issues.”
