Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August. The move to officially end their marriage came after months of speculation that the pair had been on the rocks. However, just a few weeks later, the duo were seen reuniting for brunch at the Beverly Hills hotel with their children. Now, sources claim that JLo thinks she made a mistake in pulling the plug on the marriage is hoping that she’ll be able to win Ben back.
Heat World reports that Jennifer Lopez made the move to file for divorce from Ben Affleck. However, she initiated their recent meetup in hopes that the realization of ending their marriage may do something to “spark” the actor into changing his way and begging for her to come back. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Jennifer Lopez Missing Ben Affleck Amid Divorce Filing
“While Jen has been trying to be strong in public, behind closed doors she’s less sure of herself and has admitted that she’s been missing Ben a lot,” an insider revealed. “She’d secretly hoped that filing for divorce would spark him to take drastic action to turn things around and try to win her back, so the fact he still wants to go ahead with their split is heartbreaking.”
Lopez would reportedly love to reconcile with Affleck. Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the singer. The actor is said to be ready to move on from the marriage and wants to continue with the divorce.
“He’s showed zero interest in maintaining any sort of relationship, let alone trying to save their marriage,” the informant dished. “Jen’s been clinging on to something that’s very much over – she just needs to deal with it and move on.”
JLo and Ben will go down in history as one of the most talked about celebrity couples in Hollywood. However, it seems that their time is finally over. Despite all of the buzz that their reunion created, their marriage was surprisingly short-lived. Meanwhile, many fans agree that the couple should go their separate ways and not make things messier than they already are.
“She regrets the divorce for sure. She’s probably trying to get him back, but I think he’s relieved that it’s nearly over,” one person wrote via Reddit.
“Kids don’t need that kind of drama in front of them when they’re already dealing with the chaos of divorce,” another stated.
“Jennifer, no. Just cut him off,” a third comment read.
For now, the divorce is still on. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly using famed celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, per TMZ. It’s unclear how long it will be before the divorce is finalized. Until then, all eyes will certainly be on Ben and Jen to see what their next move is.
