The crisis in Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage seems to be reaching a climax. According to the latest reports, the situation between the singer and the actor is agitated. Just a few days ago, the Daily Mail reported that Jennifer and Ben "finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them."
New information sheds light on the whole situation. According to Page Six, the actor is delaying finalizing the divorce because he wants to save himself from "more embarrassment."
Jennifer Lopez is said to be furious and disappointed with her husband's behavior. Her friends say she did not expect things to turn out this way. She was counting on a quick divorce and cooperation from Ben Affleck, who persuaded her to get back together in 2021.
She’s furious. He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together. He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids. There are five kids involved in this. She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over - anonymous sources tell the service.
He is very protective of her, says a person close to the actor. That's why he hasn't filed the suit yet, it is believed.
Jennifer, not waiting for the formal end of the marriage, is slowly getting rid of keepsakes from her husband. Until now, her neck was adorned with inscriptions associated with her beloved and their relationship: "Affleck" or "Ben" with pendants in the shape of individual letters and a gold heart, and "Jennifer & Ben" in 14-karat yellow gold. Now, she wears a necklace with her own name.
