Ben Affleck is calmly sharing his side of the story regarding his shocking divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The actor and Lopez were married for two short years when their relationship ended brutally and irrevocably. It took them over 20 years to reconcile, but their parting was swift, taking less than a few weeks.
In August, Lopez marched to a court in Los Angeles without a lawyer and filed the documents. To make a point, the singer and actress officialized the divorce on her second wedding anniversary.
However, Ben Affleck hinted months before that he was out of the marriage. Affleck regrets not taking the exit door sooner.
He would have been more than delighted if Lopez had ended the marriage earlier this year because he had already left the relationship without looking back.
Sources confirmed to PEOPLE Magazine that when Affleck decided to move out of their marital home with Lopez in early June, he had decided to split from Lopez.
One person claimed that despite Lopez’s best efforts to salvage what they had, Affleck had never looked back.
The source said: “Ben Affleck has never looked back since moving out from living with ex Jennifer Lopez earlier this year.”
The person in the know went on to say that Affleck has been liberated since the divorce. He is focused on his children and career and is very happy being single.
The insider claimed: “He is now very focused on work and his kids. He’s staying busy and happy.”
The publication revealed that Affleck decided to part ways in May. The outlet wrote: “Multiple sources told PEOPLE back in May that Affleck and Lopez were not living together in their Los Angeles home and that he was staying in another property while filming The Accountant 2.”
In a new interview, Lopez claimed she has no regrets about marrying Affleck because the woman she was two years ago loved the idea of being to a man and growing old with him.
However, she has changed and has learned to love and appreciate being on her own.
Lopez stated: “For people who are romantics and love being in relationships and want to grow old with somebody, we think, ‘I have to have that to be whole and happy.’ And you don’t; it only took 30 years for me to learn that.”
The two Hollywood stars agree that their marriage was a colossal mistake. Both are now saying they are happy it ended.
