23 august 2024 в 04:13
Ben Affleck may have spoken too soon when he engraved the inscription «I'm not going anywhere» on his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s wedding ring. The 52-year-old actor is currently going through a divorce with the 55-year-old singer, who filed for property division on Tuesday, August 20.
Their marriage, which reached two years in July, went unnoticed as neither of them acknowledged the milestone together. According to TMZ, Lopez is proceeding with the divorce without a lawyer and noted that their separation occurred on April 26, 2024.
Affleck’s message on the ring now seems less hopeful, especially considering speculation about issues in their marriage. An insider told People, «She is very disappointed and sad, but Ben has given her no indication that he wants to continue their marriage». The source added, «He has shown no commitment or interest in continuing their marriage. It has come to the point where she needs to take care of herself».
«Bennifer», - who previously dated in the early 2000s, rekindled their relationship years after calling off their initial engagement. Although Lopez was open about their reconciliation, she admitted to feeling apprehensive. «It's a beautiful love story that we have a second chance», - she told the publication. «We are older now, we are wiser, we have more experience, we are in different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we need to be very careful about these things. We are so protected because it’s such a beautiful time for all of us».
Ben told Howard Stern in an interview for The Howard Stern Show in December 2021, «I would say it was about 50 percent [of what led to the end of our relationship]… The idea that people hate you and hate you together, and being together is poison and ugly and toxic and something that neither of us wants to be a part of».
Although Jennifer and Ben, who got married in 2022 in Las Vegas, did not make public statements about their marital status, signs of trouble were evident. They put their family home up for sale in the summer, attended events separately, and celebrated their birthdays separately. While Ben does not use social media, Jennifer was very open about their relationship, often posting about his projects and moments they spent together
