Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are finally getting their long-anticipated divorce. However, as it is finally official, Lopez seems to be reminiscing about her time with the actor. Jlo reportedly put a lot of time and effort into making Affleck a family man. Family seemed to be a core value during their marriage. However, even after the divorce, Lopez and Affleck are likely still very family-first as they prepare for this new chapter in their lives.
People reports that Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second wedding anniversary. However, before the drama, Lopez and Affleck were focused on raising their respective children. Lopez shares twins with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. While Affleck has three children with Jennifer Garner. Both love their family, and “the connection doesn’t end” after the divorce.
Family Has Always Been Important to Jennifer Lopez as She Prepares for Divorce From Ben Affleck
“Family is very important to both of them and together, they were family people. The connection doesn’t end,” the source says of their once-blended family. “However, They are very different people,” the source adds of Affleck and Lopez. “She’s super public and wants to go out, and he’s more of an introvert and is happy to hang out at home.”
After months of drama, the big divorce seemed inevitable. The signs were relatively straightforward, from Lopez spending time in Italy without Affleck to the couple trying to sell their home. However, it seems like both of them had given up on making their marriage work.
Ben Affleck allegedly “hasn’t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work.” It was also said that “It’s gotten to the point that Lopez just needs to look out for herself.“
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will most likely be better off as the divorce finalizes. However, any divorce is a slippery slope. It will be very interesting to see how the events unfold as the legal action proceeds.
