Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s marriage drama took a more serious turn. But this time, JLo has decided to make the first crucial move. If she and Ben can’t work out their issues, she takes all the necessary steps to protect herself.
Ben Affleck Surprised By Jennifer Lopez’s Strategic Move
Ben Affleck should have been a little more careful about what he wished for because he may get it quicker than expected. Recent reports reveal that even though Jennifer Lopez wants to do everything to save her troubled marriage to Ben, she is still preparing for the worst-case scenario.
Jennifer Lopez is taking serious precautionary measures should her attempt to reconcile with Ben Affleck fail. Sources close to the pair reveal divorce is the last thing Jen wants. But this is not her first marriage rodeo, so she knows what to do. She is well aware of the steps she must take.
Of course, the singer is still hoping to work things out. But in the meantime, In Touch magazine reports that she has hired a crisis PR team to navigate the divorce. Insiders spoke with the magazine, stating that it looks as if divorce is imminent. That being said, Jennifer Lopez ensures her ducks are in a row.
Jennifer Is Not Messing Around, Hires Divorce Attorney Familiar With Her & Ben
The magazine writes that Jennifer Lopez is no newbie regarding divorce. So, should it come down to a courtroom brawl, she wants someone she knows and can count on in her corner.
“It’s expected Laura Wasser will be handling this divorce,” a second source reveals. “Laura was the divorce lawyer who mediated Ben’s divorce with Jennifer Garner, and she represented J. Lo in her divorce with Marc Anthony. So there’s history on both sides.”
Some wonder if Jennifer Lopez’s sudden move to hire an attorney is for real or if she is bluffing and hoping Ben will reconsider. Just two days ago, Jen reportedly was willing to do anything to save her marriage. However, Ben Affleck’s response was to remove his wedding ring. Some fans think Ben’s cold response left her so distraught that she needed to act fast.
It is also unknown if Ben has hired his divorce lawyer yet. As much as Jennifer Lopez wanted to save their troubled relationship, it now seems she has accepted the reality. It can’t be easy on either of them. However, as painful as divorce will be, it can’t compare to faking a happy marriage and living out your days in misery. Many fans think it is better to cut ties now and move on to the next chapter. Is it a bluff or the real deal? Time will tell.
