Ben Affleck reportedly showed ‘no interest’ in fixing marriage to Jennifer Lopez

New claims have surfaced about Ben Affleck’s behaviour in the lead-up to Jennifer Lopez finally filing for divorce.

'He hasn't shown any commitment': Jennifer Lopez 'disappointed' after filing to divorce Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is ready to “move on” from Ben Affleck after filing for divorce after two years of marriage.

A source told People that the actor showed “no interest” in fixing their fractured union, so the This Is Me … Now star pulled the plug.

“She’s very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage,” the insider shared.

Page Six confirmed that Lopez, 55, made the long-anticipated split official on Tuesday, which also happened to be the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding.

The Jenny From the Block singer listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024.

A financial information sheet submitted as part of the divorce petition, and obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, suggests Bennifer 2.0 didn’t have a prenuptial agreement in place, which means they will have to split any income or community property acquired during the union.

She also opted to waive spousal support and asked the judge to deny Affleck such support as well, TMZ reported.

Lopez and Affleck, 52, share no children together, so custody will be a non-issue in the divorce. The Oscar winner does, however, share three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner while the Selena star has twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

A source told us exclusively that the five children, who were blended during Lopez and Affleck’s marriage, have accepted the divorce.

“His kids are taking it fine as are hers,” an insider said. “Everybody is ready to move on.”

The duo first sparked break-up rumours in May amid reports that they started going to couples therapy.

A separate source told us at the time that Affleck would “divorce on grounds of temporary insanity” if he could because he finally came “to his senses” following what felt like a “fever dream” of a relationship with Lopez, to whom he was engaged once before ending it 2004.
