Ben Affleck’s ‘final act of compassion’ to Jennifer Lopez revealed: Friends say he ‘took the high road’ after singer suffered string of personal and professional humiliations
As a dedicated fan who’s followed this power couple for what feels like a lifetime, it’s heartbreaking to see them split again. I’ve seen JLo navigate through personal and professional triumphs with grace, resilience, and an unwavering spirit that never fails to inspire me. This year, however, has been particularly challenging for her, with setbacks in her career and a canceled tour. But let’s be honest, who among us doesn’t have a few flops in our portfolio?
Following numerous draining leaks and retaliations between them for several months, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have confirmed their split – once more.
If you assumed that Lopez filing for divorce on Tuesday would conclude this trivial feud through briefings, I’m afraid you were mistaken. Here I am, still in the thick of it.
Currently, it appears that neither party is taking responsibility – instead, they’re pointing fingers at one another, following the breakdown of their two-year union.
The latest sensational revelation comes from a friend of the former couple who claims that Affleck allowed Lopez to make the final move in an act of ‘compassion’ towards his estranged wife.
According to an exclusive source, Ben had anticipated that JLo would initiate a divorce, and it came as no surprise to him. In truth, he had already allowed her to do so.
According to him, it was a kind gesture she made. He also mentioned that she was primarily worried about the impact on her career, public opinion from fans, and the media coverage following their separation.
Lopez has faced multiple professional and personal calamities this year.
In the past ten years, her debut studio album titled “This Is Me… Now” initially ranked at number 38 on the Billboard 200 list but subsequently faded into insignificance.
A film with music synchronized to it, sharing the same name, received widespread negative reviews from critics – just like her Amazon Prime documentary titled ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told’, detailing her relationship with Affleck, also faced criticism.
In May, while whispers circulated regarding the robustness of a 55-year-old’s marriage, it was announced that her upcoming 30-show arena tour had been called off. Some sources indicated that it might have been challenging for her to attract ticket buyers.
Concurrently, Sephora, a significant makeup retailer, has requested that Jennifer Lopez’s brand ‘JLo Beauty’ be removed from their stores by the end of this year due to unsatisfactory sales. Additionally, her latest movie ‘Atlas’ is currently rated poorly at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes.
According to the source, at first, the couple contemplated a joint filing. However, after witnessing the intense criticism and negativity Jennifer was already experiencing due to the documentary, movie, album, and tour, Ben chose the noble path and allowed Jennifer to file for divorce. This way, it wouldn’t appear as if the breakdown of their relationship was her fault. It was his final gesture of kindness towards her.
Certainly, the insider paints a sympathetic view of Affleck.
Some people are quick to attribute the breakup to Jennifer Lopez’s seeming devotion to her career and the supposed conflict it creates with Ben Affleck’s desire for privacy, but not everyone shares this viewpoint.
On a Wednesday, an anonymous source shared with the Mail that Ben was challenging to maintain a marriage with. Those close to him believe he can be self-centered, moody, difficult to satisfy, and generally negative.
‘[JLo] tirelessly attempted to keep his morale high, offering encouragement – it was draining,’ they noted. ‘He’s quite talkative, enjoys self-expression, and tends to boast. She was an excellent listener, usually hanging onto his every utterance, but she is no longer as youthful and vulnerable as she once was.’
Lopez considered the long-term rumors about their relationship as ‘deeply embarrassing’ on a personal level, and ultimately felt compelled to admit that it was over.
Affleck has faced a prolonged battle with substance abuse, prompting concerns among his peers that he might have resumed drinking as of June.
In 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck quickly re-established their relationship, then tied the knot in Las Vegas during July. They also purchased a luxurious $60 million residence in Beverly Hills, welcoming their children into this new shared home.
Rumors of trouble in paradise began to swirl this Spring.
In May, Affleck left the family residence and started renting a property worth $100,000 per month in Brentwood. Subsequently, they put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale, and on Lopez’s birthday, Affleck purchased a new house in LA for $20.5 million; however, he did not attend the event marking this purchase.
JLo’s divorce papers – which she filed in LA without an attorney – show the couple have been living apart since April.
