Jennifer Lopez is reportedly feeling “upset and disappointed” with Ben Affleck after initiating their divorce, a source has revealed. The Hustlers actress, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on August 20, citing April 26—their second wedding anniversary in Georgia—as their separation date. Over the summer, the couple had been spending time apart, leading to growing rumors about the state of their relationship.
A close insider disclosed to PEOPLE that Lopez is deeply affected by the situation, stating, “It’s taken a toll on her.” Additionally, Lopez is uncomfortable staying in the Beverly Hills mansion the pair purchased together in May 2023 for a staggering $60 million. The source shared, “The house was meant for their family, but now it’s just too large and full of memories.”

Their blended family consists of Affleck’s three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—as well as Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
When Lopez filed the divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, she did so without legal representation. This indicates her desire to resolve matters quickly, as explained by a legal expert who noted she simply wanted to move forward.
Another source close to Lopez told PEOPLE that she’s handling the situation as best as possible. While the divorce was not what she wanted, she ultimately feels a sense of relief. Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted dining out with longtime friend Matt Damon and his wife Luciana at Toscana in Los Angeles on August 25. The actor-director is reportedly coping well and remaining focused despite the recent events.
