Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are currently navigating their divorce. The couple have been making headlines about the state of their relationship for the past year, and in August, JLo finally filed to end the marriage. The duo have stayed quiet about the split in the media. However, they have been putting on a united front. They were even seen having brunch with their children just weeks after the divorce filing. However, sources are claiming that playing nice is all part of Affleck’s plan.
According to the October 7 issue of In Touch Weekly, Ben Affleck is doing everything he can to ensure that he’s keeping Jennifer Lopez happy amid their divorce. He’s hoping that by putting on a happy face and being friendly will help their split be less messy and more easy. However, it’s causing speculation that Ben and JLo may be rekindling their romance.
Ben Affleck Plays Nice With Jennifer Lopez to Ensure Easy Divorce?
“They’re not getting back together,” a source tells the outlet. “He’s just trying to make this breakup as clean as possible. He’s laying it on a little thick because he doesn’t want the divorce to blow up. One might say he’s toying with her,” the insider added.
However, there is one very important reason why Affleck and Lopez are going into their divorce with grace. Their children reportedly have very close bonds, and they want to cultivate those relationships despite their split.
“They’re stuck in the middle, so the less combative this divorce is, the better it is for the children. That’s Ben’s No. 1 priority here — the kids,” the informant dished.
So far, there haven’t been any confirmed snags in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce. The couple are said to be working with famed lawyer Laura Wasser. They were only married for two years, but it’s alleged that they didn’t have a prenup in place. Dividing their assets and finances may be the only issue that arises. However, if they’re devoted to being civil, then things could be wrapped up nicely.
