Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez attracted attention when she appeared for the first time after filing for divorce from actor Ben Affleck. She attended an event in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California (USA).
The star born in 1969 impressed with her ageless figure and stylish fashion style. She wore a short shirt that exposed her midriff with dark jeans and high heels. The modern outfit and naturally loose, flowing hair helped Jennifer look youthful.
Her face did not show any signs of fatigue or depression. Previously, some sources said that Jennifer Lopez was really sad when her marriage to Ben only lasted less than 2 years. The actress also no longer wore her wedding ring.
On August 20, Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck after 2 years of marriage. According to documents filed in the Los Angeles court (USA), the 55-year-old singer said that she and Ben Affleck had separated since April 26.
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce without going through a lawyer. The famous singer is said to have chosen the exact date of their wedding anniversary to end her relationship with Ben because she wanted to prove to the world that “she is a woman who decides her own life”.
Another friend said that Jennifer was really heartbroken when Ben showed no signs of wanting to keep their marriage. Jennifer and Ben’s marriage has been in trouble since late 2023 and early 2024.
A source said: “Jennifer Lopez has always loved Ben and always will. But Ben has so much darkness inside him that no one can take him out of it. Jennifer Garner (Ben Affleck’s ex-wife) can’t, no other woman can . That’s the problem.”
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez both went through difficult marriages before rekindling their relationship in 2021. The two got engaged in April 2022 and held a wedding in Las Vegas (USA) in July 2022 before having a luxurious wedding at the groom’s private mansion in August of the same year.
During the happiest period of their marriage, the couple appeared to be inseparable, openly expressing their feelings. Jennifer once told Rolling Stone that she cherished the opportunity to start over with Affleck.
A mutual friend of the two said that Ben Affleck did not agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle. The actor did not like too much media attention, but Jennifer loved the spotlight and being the center of attention.
According to Radar Online, Jennifer was also frustrated because she had to “take care” of her husband in addition to her busy work schedule. She spent time helping the Batman star change his bad habits. They once argued because the actor had not completely quit smoking.
Since last May, Ben Affleck has left the couple’s home. The two no longer post photos together, and the famous singer is sometimes seen without her wedding ring.
A source told Page Six that Jennifer spent most of this summer with her children and friends in New York (USA) without her husband.
“The way Jennifer Lopez takes care of him is almost childlike. Friends constantly remind her that she is not responsible for his emotions. Sometimes he is sad and gloomy. Jennifer is the opposite. She appreciates life in a different way. She is grateful for everything,” the insider shared.
An acquaintance of Jennifer Garner (Ben Affleck’s ex-wife) said that the actor always has problems dealing with stress. He does not have crisis response skills, easily falls into a state of disappointment and tends to have mood swings.
When happy, Ben makes others comfortable, but that is not his constant state. Sometimes, Ben’s negativity affects those around him and Jennifer Lopez suffers the most. Following her husband’s erratic emotions makes the beauty born in 1969 feel stuck.
According to Page Six, Jennifer is said to feel relieved after filing for divorce. Her family and friends also think that the divorce is the right decision. Currently, Jennifer is still living in her $60 million honeymoon villa in Beverly Hills. The villa is for sale for $68 million but no one has asked to buy it.
A source from People said that Jennifer no longer feels comfortable living in the villa as when she had Ben and the children around. “She and Ben bought the house for the whole family. It’s too big for her, and it also holds many memories,” this person said.
The Hollywood actor is living in a $20 million house in the Pacific Palisades residential area, Los Angeles (USA) and enjoying the single life. A day before Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, he was spotted happily with his ex-wife and children.
Recently, the actor is also said to be dating the beautiful Kick Kennedy. The couple was discovered at the Beverly Hills Hotel, California (USA) and many other famous locations last August.
Kick Kennedy (36 years old) is one of two children from the first marriage of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Emily Black. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the nephew of US President John F. Kennedy.
Kick Kennedy is pursuing an acting career. She once appeared in an episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. In response to the curiosity of the paparazzi, Kick Kennedy refused to comment, while Ben Affleck’s representative did not respond.
