It has come to light via Page Six that Jennifer Lopez is “furious” and “humiliated” over her split from Ben Affleck. The “Gone Girl” star is holding off on filing for divorce to spare her more embarrassment.
“She’s furious,” says the source of the outlet. “He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.” It has been noted that the “Jenny from the Block” chart-topper and Affleck rekindled their relationship in July 2021 after Lopez’s split from her former fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, in April 2021.
Lopez and Affleck previously dated from 2002 to 2004 after infamously starring together in the movie “Gigli.”
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” explains the source. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”
The pair went to Las Vegas in July 2022, and had another wedding celebration at Affleck’s home in Riceboro, Georgia, the next month. Lopez’s album, “This Is Me…Now,” and the accompanying Amazon Prime documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” co-starring Affleck, was inspired by their relationship.
“She is a romantic,” as per the outlet.
The “Hustlers” star is also upset because the couple’s respective children are involved.
“There are five kids involved in this,” says the source. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
Lopez has twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 18, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.
Affleck, who recently purchased a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades, Calif., home after his marital residence with Lopez was put on the market for $68 million is holding off filing for divorce to avoid humiliating her further, says another source.
“He’s very protective of her,” says the source.
