Here Is Why Jennifer Lopez Delayed Divorce Announcement

It’s no longer news that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love story has come to an end for the second time.

The Lopez waited months to file for divorce from Affleck, and the reason for this delay has now been made public.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on the occasion of their second wedding anniversary (July 16, 2022- Aug. 20, 2024). After learning that Jennifer Lopez is divorcing Ben Affleck, it is said that her close friends gave her some difficult-to-accept counsel.

Lopez’s closest friends and family members are rumored to be worried that she isn’t putting her love life first.

According to Mail Online, a source close to the singer revealed that those close to Lopez are “growing tired” of her erratic romantic life.

“After four failed marriages, her friends feel that she should take a look inside and focus on herself instead of what others want her to be and finally figure out who she is and what she wants from her future,” the insider said.

The source continued by saying that Lopez withheld filing for a particular reason, despite the fact that details of the split had been known for several months.

“Jennifer said she was tired of being humiliated by Ben and she waited until the two year anniversary because she wanted to sting,” said the insider.

“But it did not sting him. He’s been done for a long time and deep down she knows this. He let her have this so that she wouldn’t look like the villain.”

The singer and actress officially filed for divorce in Los Angeles.

However, a detail in the paperwork showed that the listing for their date of separation was April 26 which means the couple had not been together for nearly four months.

On Thursday, the singer and actress filed for divorce in Los Angeles. However, according to detail in the court documents, the pair had not been together for almost four months since their date of separation was listed as April 26.

Affleck is Lopez’s fourth husband, whose most notable marriage was to fellow singer Marc Anthony – with whom she shares 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
