'Divorce filing is imminent': Jennifer Lopez reportedly hiring crisis PR to handle split from Ben Affleck
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The famous romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appears to be disintegrating, as several insiders have revealed that the A-list couple might soon file for divorce.
In light of her marital problems with Affleck, Lopez is reportedly "hiring crisis PR to help navigate the divorce," with insiders exclusively revealing that "a divorce filing is imminent," per InTouch Weekly.
Jennifer Lopez desperately tries to navigate potential Ben Affleck divorce
The well-known couple, who rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in July 2022, have reportedly been living separately for several weeks. Affleck was also spotted without his wedding band, which further fueled rumors of a split.
According to sources, renowned divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who managed Affleck's divorce from Jennifer Garner and Lopez's from Marc Anthony, is reportedly involved in handling their impending divorce.
Another source spilled to the outlet, "It’s expected Laura Wasser will be handling this divorce. Laura was the divorce lawyer who mediated Ben’s divorce with Jennifer Garner, and she represented JLo in her divorce with Marc Anthony. So there’s history on both sides."
Insiders have claimed that the decision to split has been brewing for some time, exacerbated by Lopez's conspicuous solo appearances at high-profile events like the 2024 Met Gala.
According to a source, the 'Jenny from the Block' singer surprised many by attending solo, yet she dazzled in a custom strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown.
Day after the fashion fundraiser on May 7, an insider exclusively revealed, "Ben not being at the Met Gala with Jen, even though he’s got a great excuse, he’s working, is causing more questions than either of them want."
Another source told InTouch Weekly that the 'Batman' star's absence was because he "decided to call it quits" on his marriage to 'The Mother' actress, attributing his absence to filming 'The Accountant 2.'
Jennifer Lopez seems upbeat during dance practice amid divorce rumors
Lopez was spotted rehearsing for her upcoming 'This Is Me... Live' tour, adding further intrigue to the story. Casually dressed, she continued preparing for the June 26 concert series, seemingly unfazed by the circulating rumors.
The star grinned broadly, wearing matching sneakers, an off-the-shoulder cream shirt, and wide-leg white sweatpants. With her hair in a high bun, Lopez looked ready to dance all day, per Page Six.
Lopez, 54, was seen house-hunting earlier while wearing a similar outfit. An insider insisted that this had nothing to do with the breakup rumors.
Sources close to the couple revealed that despite Lopez still wearing her wedding band, they are currently "living separately" as Affleck focuses on filming his latest project.
Presenting a unified face, the couple went to a school performance for Affleck's kid, Fin, who goes by they/them. However, onlookers noticed that the two did not appear to be very warm toward one another.
Their first public appearance together in nearly seven weeks fueled speculation that they were maintaining a united front solely for the sake of their children.
"Nothing would have stopped" the former couple from "coming together for the kids," said a second insider.
