Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly finalizing their divorce after a turbulent period marked by ongoing rumors and conflicts. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married two years ago, have been struggling to reconcile their differences despite multiple attempts.

Sources indicate the final straw was Affleck’s purchase of a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades, dubbed a “bachelor pad.” This move followed Lopez selling her New York City penthouse for $23 million, signaling a shift in their relationship dynamics. They had also listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, fueling separation rumors.

Their attempts to salvage their marriage reportedly failed, with Lopez celebrating her birthday and their anniversary separately, highlighting the growing distance between them. Affleck’s decision to buy a new home without Lopez’s involvement was seen as a “stab in the heart” for her.

Their divorce documents are said to be finalized but not yet submitted, with plans for a joint statement expressing their mutual love and effort to make their marriage work.
