Jennifer Lopez is 'seething on the inside' and giving Ben Affleck 'the silent treatment' after split

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez has reportedly chosen to give ex Ben Affleck the "silent treatment" following her recent divorce filing, as reported by Radar Online.

Sources close to the situation reveal that Lopez, still reeling from the end of her rekindled romance, is struggling with the way their marriage concluded, which she finds "humiliating."

Jennifer Lopez gives Ben Affleck the 'silent treatment' after divorce filing

Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, first met on the set of 'Gigli' in 2002 and briefly got engaged before parting ways in 2004. They reconnected in 2021 after both had divorced their previous partners and wed in July 2022. Despite the initial excitement surrounding their reunion, their relationship quickly soured, leading to Lopez filing for divorce on August 20.

Insiders say that Lopez's reaction to the split has been one of disbelief and frustration. "The fact that he bought a new home while she was celebrating her birthday in the Hamptons was really humiliating for her," a source disclosed.

"Plus, one day he has his ring on and the next day it's off – it's like he's gaslighting her."

Additionally, Affleck’s inconsistency in wearing his wedding ring only added to Lopez's distress, with reports suggesting that his behavior felt like "gaslighting."

Insiders added, "The way Ben ignored their anniversary, then her birthday, while having the tenacity to claim he's protecting her somehow... it was shocking."

"It makes J Lo sick to her stomach. People in their circle are wondering how it's gotten to this point and become so toxic."

The couple’s financial entanglements are also complicating the separation. Lopez, with an estimated net worth of $400 million, and Affleck, worth around $150 million, have yet to finalize the sale of their $68 million marital home.

Their lack of a prenuptial agreement means that any assets or earnings accumulated during their marriage are considered community property.

According to sources, the ongoing legal battle is proving challenging for everyone involved. "Even the lawyers are finding it daunting to be stuck in the middle of their fight," one insider noted.

As Lopez and Affleck navigate this difficult period, Lopez is reportedly struggling with how their marriage unraveled.

"Now Ben and J Lo are giving each other the silent treatment. J Lo doesn't know how it came to this. She really thought she'd finally found her happily-ever-after – and then Ben pulled the rug out from under her. She's putting up a brave front in public, but she's seething on the inside."

How are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s children adjusting to their divorce?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s children appear to be handling the news of their parents’ divorce with resilience and maturity. 

Sources close to the blended family have revealed that the children are coping well with the separation. "His kids are taking it fine as are hers," a source shared with Page Six. "Everybody is ready to move on." The source noted that the children are adjusting to the news and are prepared to move forward.

Lopez and Affleck's children had formed close bonds over the past few years. Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck’s three children—Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12—with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, grew close through shared activities and family outings.

The blended family enjoyed time together at malls, parks, and amusement parks, with both Lopez and Affleck integrating into each other’s lives and growing close to each other’s children.
