Viral: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Reportedly Set For Divorce

Ben Affleck has reached a pivotal moment in his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, reportedly taking the significant step of “moving out” of their shared residence, according to an exclusive source who shared details with In Touch magazine.

“The writing is on the wall – it’s over,” the insider reveals. “They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!”

Observant fans have noticed a growing physical distance between Ben and Jennifer in recent weeks. Notably, Ben was conspicuously absent from the Met Gala on May 6, an event where Jennifer held a prominent role as co-chair. Although Ben cited commitments to filming The Accountant 2 as the reason for his absence, In Touch’s source contends that he has “decided to call it quits” on his marriage to the A-list singer.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” adds the insider. “Ben has already moved out, and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They’ll always love each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There was no way it could have lasted.”

A persistent challenge in their relationship was their differing approaches to public scrutiny. Jennifer embraced the limelight, while Ben preferred to retreat from it. Reflecting on their dynamic, Jennifer admitted in her documentary *The Greatest Love Story Never Told*, “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask.”

“I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing this, [but] he doesn’t want to stop me,” Jennifer added. A source noted, “Ben would never try to stifle [Jennifer]’s dreams or tell her she can’t do something that advances her career, even though she can be quite controlling of him.”

Despite efforts to find common ground, compromise proved elusive. “They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work,” the insider explains. “They both said they’d matured and learned from their mistakes, but some of the bigger issues that tore them apart the first time remained the same.”

Ben and Jen’s romantic journey dates back to the early 2000s when they first began dating. Their relationship reached a peak in 2003 when they were on the brink of marriage, only to call off the wedding shortly before. After their split in January 2004, they reunited nearly two decades later in 2021 and married in July 2022.
