According to a new report, Jennifer Lopez reportedly did not want to end her marriage to Ben Affleck, but the actor has moved on with his life and left her.
Citing unnamed sources close to J.Lo, People magazine reported on Monday that the “Atlas” actress has been trying hard to save her marriage to the “Gone Girl” actor.
“She doesn’t want a divorce. She wants to figure things out,” the source claimed before confirming that the two stars are still “in love.”
“Jennifer is not the type of person to give up easily. [but] “The waiting was almost torture for her,” the insider added.
Sources said that this is a challenge for the female singer who sang the hit song “Jenny From the Block” as she has to try to save her marriage when Ben no longer wants to continue.
“She found it incredibly difficult when Ben decided to walk away from the marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind,” the source said.
On August 20 — exactly two years after they were married in Georgia — Lopez filed for divorce, ending months of speculation about the state of their marriage.
Interestingly, this anonymous insider claimed that “after filing for divorce, [Jennifer] seems relieved.”
The source continued, “Her family and friends all agree it was the right decision. She is surrounded by so much love and support. She will be fine. She is strong and always wins.”
This is not the first time Lopez has gone through divorce, having previously been married three times to other men.
According to Today, in less than a year from 1997 to 1998, J.Lo was first married to Ojani Noa, who was a waitress when they were together.
The second time, Jennifer walked down the aisle with dancer Cris Judd, whom she met on the set of her music video for “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” They married in 2001 but divorced in 2003.
Her third marriage was Lopez’s longest. When she married Marc Anthony in 2004, the “Maid in Manhattan” star was very much in love. She became pregnant three years later and welcomed twins Max and Emme in 2008. Unfortunately, they divorced in 2014, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to People, J.Lo is currently “heartbroken” after filing for divorce from her fourth marriage.
“[She] tried her best to make things work and was heartbroken,” the source said.
