Ben Affleck looks happy arriving at his offices in LA – as Jennifer Lopez divorce drama drags on
As someone who has followed the glitzy world of celebrity relationships for years, it seems Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez‘s union is headed towards the divorce court. The news, while not entirely unexpected, is still a bittersweet pill to swallow, given their fairytale reunion just a few months ago.
Ben Affleck appeared joyful upon his arrival at a LA office building, apparently still working through the final stages of his two-year divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Before his upcoming divorce with the renowned star who is 55 years old, the Oscar-winning individual, aged 51, was seen in good moods as he strolled through a car park in Beverly Hills on a Thursday.
Despite being previously criticized for appearing serious or unapproachable in photographs and at public gatherings due to his so-called “permanent scowl” (often referred to as ‘resting b***h face’), the actor flashed an unusual grin during his most recent appearance.
A person who saw it all unfold shared with DailyMail.com that Affleck greeted everyone he came across as he entered the building.
The man with three children, fresh off buying a $20.5 million bachelorette home, presented himself elegantly in a black tailcoat and dark blue dress shirt.
He finished off his outfit with a pair of brown leather loafers, aviator-style sunglasses, and a black messenger bag.
Affleck came prepared for a long day as he carried an iced coffee with him into the building.
He and his estranged wife have been engulfed in divorce rumors for months.
Last week sources told Page Six that Affleck has held off filing for divorce in a bid to ‘protect’ Lopez, after it was reported that the pair are no longer on speaking terms.
A source disclosed: ‘He has publicly embarrassed her as she had declared him to be the one she cherishes above all. They tied the knot twice only two years back, which makes this quite remarkable given they are no longer teenagers.’
It’s believed that, aside from the marital separation, Jennifer might also be distressed because their shared children are affected by it too.
‘The source mentioned that there are five children who are part of this situation. She was aware they were planning to merge their families, but she hasn’t yet come to terms with the idea that things have ended for good.’
Jennifer is the mother of twins Max and Emme, who are 16 years old, from her past marriage to Marc Anthony. On the other hand, Ben has three children – Violet (18), Fin (15), and Samuel (12) – with his former spouse Jennifer Garner.
According to the source, Ben delayed filing for divorce initially with an aim to safeguard Jennifer.
TopMob contacted representatives for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck for further comment.
Over the past few months, the once happily paired duo, who were together from 2002 to 2004, have been spotted without their wedding bands. It appears they are now moving forward with their divorce, following an unsuccessful last-ditch effort at reconciling.
With speculation about their high-profile relationship at an all-time high, it appears they have completely severed connections with each other.
As reported by TMZ, the singer from Love Don’t Cost a Thing and the actress known for Gone Girl are no longer in contact with each other, which seems to complicate any chances they might have had to come to an understanding.
According to reports, these prominent figures in Hollywood have intentionally complicated their split by choosing not to communicate openly, either face-to-face or on the phone.
According to TMZ, the famous personalities haven’t sought legal advice just yet, instead choosing to consult with their individual business representatives.
However, they plan to hire divorce lawyers after they reach a settlement.
Earlier this month, a friend of the couple told DailyMail.com that they are still set to divorce.
On July 24, which also happened to be his spouse’s birthday, news broke that Ben had recently purchased a luxurious mansion in the Pacific Palisades for an impressive $20.5 million, marking a significant new living space for him.
According to Jennifer’s friends, the purchase made her extremely angry and seemed to wound her deeply.
Just a few days following the announcement of listing their mansion in Beverly Hills for an impressive $68 million, Ben made a significant luxury acquisition.
On July 24th, it was confirmed that the singer completed the sale of her luxurious four-bedroom New York City penthouse at a price of $23 million, according to People’s report.
As a lifestyle expert, I can confirm that the divorce documents were settled between us a month past, yet we’re taking our time to find the perfect moment to formally submit them.
In those days, I’d be the one penning a heartfelt declaration, expressing the profound affection we shared, and our tireless efforts to keep our relationship alive. Alas, destiny had different plans, and we were unable to overcome the challenges that came our way.
According to another source, they ultimately failed to reach an agreement. Whatever they previously shared is now lost, and they’ve each acknowledged this fact.
Amid reports of their separation, Ben has also unveiled his shocking new appearance.
To complete his look, he paired his attire with slim-fitting jeans, sunglasses reminiscent of aviators, and a seemingly small black leather jacket. Interestingly, he was seen without his wedding ring on this occasion.
Ben and Jennifer’s latest photo together was taken on March 30. Since then, they’ve been spending their summers separately; mainly, Jennifer has been on the eastern seaboard, whereas Ben has stayed put in his LA residence.
Instead of celebrating their romantic anniversary together on July 16th, the pair instead chose to spend the day separately in distinct cities, indicating a lack of ongoing romantic plans.
Rumors about the difficulties in Ben and Jennifer’s marriage started spreading in May. This was when someone near them said that Ben had leased a property worth $100,000, hinting at possible separation, as it was also mentioned they planned to sell their cherished house.
In my own experience, I’ve found that the relationship between my spouse and me has been challenging on a daily basis, due to some fundamental philosophical disagreements we’ve encountered along the way.
The source stated that she often shares her feelings openly with her followers and the public at large, while he tends to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself, being more reserved and personal.
