Jennifer Lopez is ready to ‘close the door’ on her relationship with Ben Affleck as their divorce nears its end.
“The fairy tale she was promised has turned into a nightmare,” a source told People on January 7. Although Jennifer Lopez is in a “really good place,” she “just wants to close this crazy chapter,” the insider added.
Another source told the publication that they “are not getting back together.”
After Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, a source told Page Six that the 56-year-old singer believed she “finally had her chance at a fairy tale.”
“She really didn’t stop to consider who the real man in that fairy tale was,” the source said, adding that “the great love that Jennifer believed in wasn’t in Ben’s DNA.”
“Ben has a darkness that no one else can fix. His ex-wife Jennifer Garner can’t fix it, all his success in the world can’t fix it,” the source continued.
Jennifer Lopez, 55, and Ben Affleck, 52, officially settled their divorce on January 6, but it won’t be finalized until February 20, 2025.
According to TMZ, the two will part with what they earned during their marriage.
The Oscar-winning actor is keeping his stake in his and Matt Damon’s production company Artists Equity, which he co-founded with his longtime friend four months after he and Jennifer Lopez tied the knot.
The $60 million Beverly Hills mansion where the couple previously lived together is still for sale. It’s unclear how they’ve agreed to split the assets.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Lopez will keep the $5 million engagement ring that Affleck proposed to in April 2022.
The couple do not have any children together. However, they have a family of five.
Ben Affleck has three children: Violet (18), Seraphina (15) and Samuel (12) with Jennier Garner. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has twins: Max and Emme (16) with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
