In 2024, the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce took many by surprise, especially since their separation process began immediately after celebrating their anniversary last summer.
What seemed like a troubling chapter for both finally ended in January when the divorce paperwork was finalized. Fortunately, it concluded amicably, with neither J.Lo nor Ben turning it into a major spectacle. The divorce will officially conclude on February 20, allowing Jennifer to revert to her maiden name.
Jennifer Lopez is thriving
Loren Ridinger, a good friend of J.Lo, shared with Us Weekly her admiration for the singer, stating:
“I love her, I admire her, and I respect her; she has been a source of strength during tough times. She is incredibly powerful,” Loren remarked.
The passing of her husband deeply affected Loren, but she found solace in the unwavering support from Jennifer Lopez during that tough period, attributing her resilience to J.Lo’s presence.
In their discussion, Loren commended her friend for displaying incredible strength throughout the controversy surrounding her divorce from Ben Affleck, noting, “If I ever expressed that I was having a difficult day, she would check on me, asking if I was okay. That’s what true friendship looks like through hard times. She’s stronger than ever, and I couldn’t be prouder,” Loren said.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are now wrapping up the final steps needed for their divorce, maintaining a decent but somewhat distant relationship.
