LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez’s friends, reportedly fed up with her antics, have advised her to “look inside herself” following her decision to file for divorce from Ben Affleck.

A mole citing the insider told DailyMail, “After four failed marriages, her friends feel that she should take a look inside and focus on herself instead of what others want her to be and finally figure out who she is and what she wants from her future.”

Jennifer Lopez files for divorce

Jennifer Lopez reportedly decided to officially end her fourth marriage, this time with Ben Affleck, on Tuesday, August 20. She filed the papers without legal representation, and the date of separation listed was April 26, 2024.

However, the tipster also claimed that Jennifer Lopez is not solely to blame. “Jennifer said she was tired of being humiliated by Ben, and she waited until the two-year anniversary to file because she wanted to make a statement,” they said.

The source added, “But it did not sting him. He's been done for a long time and deep down she knows this. He let her have this so that she wouldn't look like the villain.”

Jennifer Lopez believes Ben Affleck ‘humiliated her’

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Jennifer Lopez has chosen not to seek any financial support from her soon-to-be ex-husband and has asked the judge to dismiss any such claims on behalf of the 'Gone Girl' star.

The actress is estimated to have a net worth of $400 million, while Affleck's is reported to be $150 million.

This came after earlier in August, a source disclosed to Page Six that the 52-year-old actor left Lopez “furious” and “humiliated” as they went their separate ways.

The tipster revealed, “She’s furious. He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.”

“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids,” the source said.

Jennifer Lopez concerned about impact on children amid divorce

Another issue reportedly troubling Jennifer Lopez was the impact on her children. The 'Let’s Get Loud' singer is the mother of 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Affleck shares Violet, 18, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12, from his earlier marriage to Jennifer Garner.

The insider added, “There are five kids involved in this. She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
