Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finalized their divorce papers, although they have yet to be officially filed. The couple is coordinating a strategic public announcement and will issue a joint statement regarding the end of their marriage.
Sources close to Lopez and Affleck reveal that while the legal documents are complete, the couple is waiting for the right moment to make their separation public. They are working on finalizing arrangements and preparing a statement that will express mutual respect and their efforts to reconcile, despite ultimately being unable to resolve their differences.
Friends of Jennifer Lopez have noted how Ben Affleck’s recent actions have been interpreted as signals of their deteriorating relationship. Reports indicate that Affleck’s decision to buy a new house in Los Angeles, along with missing Lopez’s birthday and their second wedding anniversary, has deeply affected her.
According to a source who spoke to DailyMail, “The divorce papers were finalized a month ago, but they are waiting for the appropriate time to submit them.” The source added, “When they do release the statement, it will acknowledge their love for each other and their attempts to make things work, but ultimately they couldn’t come to a compromise. They’ve both accepted that what they had is now over.”
Although Lopez is reported to still have strong feelings for Affleck, he has indicated his intentions by moving out of their shared home and into a separate residence in Brentwood. The couple, who were last seen together on May 30th, have since kept their distance. While Lopez has been touring Europe and New York, Affleck has remained in Los Angeles with his children. With Affleck purchasing a new mansion in LA and their Beverly Hills home on the market, it seems increasingly clear that their divorce is approaching its final stages.
