Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finalized their divorce last month, rumour mills have been churning speculations about his close bond with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Now, after Daily Mail reported exclusive footage showing an intimate moment between Affleck and Garner, sources claim JLo feels “betrayed” by their growing closeness.
The video shows Affleck placing a tender arm around Garner’s lower waist during a paintball outing near Los Angeles. The former couple, who share three children, were spending the day with two of their teenage kids.
“[JLo] saw the paintballing images when the rest of the world did, and of course, it will make her question things from their time together,” a source close to the singer told Daily Mail. “Her friends have questioned how platonic Jen [Garner] and Ben are.”
Just months ago, Affleck and Lopez were still married, and she had publicly supported him through his personal struggles. “She will feel betrayed because she invested so much time in supporting Ben through his challenges and had a rough year as their marriage broke down,” the source added.
“Seeing how quickly he has started spending more time with Garner has exacerbated the concerns she already had about his relationship with her while they were married.”
The two rekindled their romance in 2021, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement, and married in 2022. However, their relationship reportedly faced strains early on—even during their Italian honeymoon. By 2024, Affleck had moved out of their $68 million Beverly Hills home and into a rental just blocks away from Garner’s residence.

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck finalize divorce after two years of marriage
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially settled the terms of their divorce, bringing an end to their brief two-year marriage. The announcement, confirmed through court documents obtained by E! News on January 6, reveals that both parties have agreed on the terms of the divorce, and the split appears to be amicable.
The divorce filing, which was submitted by Lopez in August 2024, marks the culmination of their marriage, which began in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2022.
According to the settlement, both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will retain the earnings they individually acquired during their time together.
Neither party will be required to pay spousal support, and Lopez will revert to using her maiden name, “Lopez,” after having changed it to “Affleck” following their wedding, as per E! News.
Lopez had filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, citing the couple’s separation as having occurred on April 26, 2024.
Speculation about their relationship had been mounting in the months leading up to the filing.
Lopez’s solo appearance at the 2024 Met Gala and various promotional events added fuel to the fire.
As per E! News, in a candid interview with comedian Nikki Glaser, Lopez opened up about the emotional toll the breakup took on her, describing how her “whole f–king world exploded” after the separation, adding, “You have to be complete if you want something that’s more complete.” -
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce on hold
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s highly-publicised split is far from over. After almost 6 months of their Will they? Won’t they? divorce drama and promises to part amicably, tensions are running high behind the scenes as they struggle to finalise details. The situation has become so contentious that Affleck has reportedly been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner while avoiding his ex at all costs. Their complicated co-parenting scene only adds to the drama, as they both seek a smooth transition for their blended families.
The Jenny From the Block singer filed for divorce without a lawyer on the couple’s second wedding anniversary. Since then, the two have largely been spending time apart and rarely been seen together, despite their attempts to present a friendly split. A source told In Touch that the situation has grown “increasingly tense and argumentative,” with Affleck choosing to spend more time with his ex-wife rather than addressing the ongoing divorce.
Lopez “feels sidelined and frustrated,” believing Affleck should meet her demands, but he remains resolute believing he has been fair and that Lopez is deliberately prolonging the process.
“It’s been six months since she filed and nothing has been resolved, it doesn’t seem like they’re anywhere close to finalising the divorce,” the source added. The insider continued, “They both said they wanted to do it amicably and have even talked a good game about wanting to consciously uncouple, but that plan seems to be out the window because they can’t agree on how to divide things up, which of course is affecting things.”
The divorce argument makes sense since the couple entered their marriage on uneven footing, with Lopez’s $400 million net worth greatly outweighing Affleck’s $150 million, and no prenup in place. “She’s worth more than twice as much as him so it’s especially hard for him not to see this as her being vindictive and greedy,” the source added. “They both say they’re desperate to avoid more drama, but the longer this drags on, the worse it’s going to get.” -
Ben Affleck praises ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s performance in Unstoppable
Hollywood star Ben Affleck has showered praise on his former partner and artiste Jennifer Lopez for her performance in the film Unstoppable. Affleck called the actor’s act in the movie “spectacular,” reported Entertainment Tonight. Unstoppable has been co-produced by Affleck and his longtime friend Matt Damon.
Unstoppable tells the inspiring story of wrestler Anthony Robles, who triumphed to win the NCAA national championship despite being born with just one leg. In the film, Robles is portrayed by Jharrel Jerome, known for his role in Moonlight, while Lopez plays his mother, Judy. Affleck said the film, which is yet to release in cinemas, has been winning the hearts of critics because it is “rooted in the passion of really talented artistes. It kind of speaks to a certain kind of thing I guess we’re drawn to, which is we really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply emotionally connected to the story,” said the actor. Unstoppable premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and will hit cinemas on December 6.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got married in August, 2022. Lopez reportedly filed for divorce a couple of months ago, on their second wedding anniversary. -
Ben Affleck spotted with assistant after Jennifer Lopez drama
Ben Affleck, often seen with a Dunkin Donuts cup in hand and a brooding look, seems to be undergoing a transformation—or at least, he’s making some visible changes.
The Batman actor, currently navigating a high-profile divorce from Jennifer Lopez, was recently spotted out and about, looking much more put together than usual.
Affleck was photographed in dishevelled style with his assistant, Gigi Fouquet, donning a fall-themed ensemble consisting of a maroon jacket, cream shirt, and olive pants. This is far way from his typical “grab whatever’s clean” fashion, leading many to wonder if a stylist had entered the picture. The actor sported some facial hair and a noticeably less moody expression.
Though Affleck was still holding his signature iced coffee, it’s unclear if it was from his favourite Dunkin Donuts. Whether this is a new chapter for Affleck or just a temporary change, he certainly appeared to be in better spirits.
The Deep Water star currently juggling several projects, including the sequel to The Accountant and his Netflix film RIP with longtime friend Matt Damon. Affleck is directing Damon in an upcoming thriller titled The Animals. “Ben’s doing well. He thrives when he’s busy, and he’s been working nonstop,” a source told People.
“He spends a lot of time with his kids, too. It hasn’t been the easiest summer for him either. He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible.”
Affleck also expressed frustration during The Howard Stern Show, saying, “The idea that people hate you and they hate you together… And, ‘What the f**k are they doing together?’ I got f**king hurt and angry and felt like a fool.”
As for Jennifer Lopez, she’s embracing life after Bennifer, despite the emotional toll of the breakup. She shared with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine, “That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did. But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘F**k, that is exactly what I needed.’”
“I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f**king do when it’s just me flying on my own?” she said. “What if I’m just free?” -
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have ‘signed’ the divorce papers
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s fairytale romance appears to be nearing its end. Amid claims that the singer saw her husband as a knight in shining armour, sources close to the couple reveal that the divorce papers have been finalised, they have not yet been filed.
While the couple has been working on settling arrangements, they are strategically timing a public announcement with a carefully crafted joint statement. For months, Jen and Ben have been living separately, and although they have not commented on the separation, reports of their marital woes have skyrocketed.
“They finalised the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them,” a source told Daily Mail. Friends of Lopez have described Affleck’s recent actions as a “stab to the heart,” including his decision to purchase a new home in Los Angeles and skip both his wife’s birthday and their second wedding anniversary in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, other insiders claim Affleck has been actively preparing for the split.
Another source has asserted that while the documents have been signed, the couple will maintain a cordial demeanour upon officially confirming the news. “At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t. Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it.” Multiple insiders and friends had previously noted how much Jennifer loves Ben and is not ready to throw in the towel just yet. However, the Accountant 2 star seemed to signal his intentions when he moved out of their shared mansion a month ago, settling into a separate home in Brentwood. The pair were last seen together on May 30th and have since made efforts to avoid each other. They even their summers apart with the pop star touring Europe and New York while Ben spent it with kids in LA.With the actor now buying his own mansion in LA and their Beverly Hills home on the market, reports are increasingly describing their divorce as inevitable. “Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult,” one insider told Radar Online. “J.Lo had been holding onto hope that there could be a reconciliation if they were to spend some time apart, but this is like a stab in the heart.” -
JLo’s extreme ‘love and sex addiction’ failed her marriage with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading to divorce because of JLo’s “love addiction”. The latest episode of ‘TMZ Investigates,’ titled ‘JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs,’ featured film producer Jon Peters and Dr. Drew Pinsky discussing the possibility that Lopez might be obsessed with romance.
“She’s a love and sex addict, look at the men she’s been with,” Peters, 79, commented, pointing to the fact that the 54-year-old superstar has been divorced three times and has had an additional broken engagement.
“She can’t be alone. She needs a man in her life, she has never spent any real time developing herself. And her career is in the [censored]. And she’s talented,” he added.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, a well-known TV personality and addiction specialist, concurred with Peters’ assessment, noting that “there are actually thousands of people engaged in 12-step programs who identify as love addicted.” “The features of that include not having great boundaries, they tend to get sucked into relationships readily and easily, they fall hard for people, and once they go in they can’t get themselves out.”
Earlier this year, Lopez announced the cancellation of her ‘This Is Me… Live Tour,’ which was set to begin on June 26. “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary,” she expressed in a newsletter. The cancellation fueled speculation that it was due to both low ticket sales and her ongoing issues with Affleck.
Reports indicate that the couple has been living separately while trying to determine the future of their relationship. They have also listed their $60 million marital home for sale.
An insider suggested that “Jennifer had started ramping up her work commitments and prepping for her tour. She’s very focused on work and overextends herself”, and this stems from their opposing lifestyles.
Us Weekly also reported last month that Ben “checked out” as their “honeymoon phase has worn off” due to their very different lifestyle. “Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different, there is no give and take, there was no blending, they are just on separate tracks,” a source told the Daily Mail earlier.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about feeling ‘misunderstood’ amidst divorce rumors
Amidst swirling rumours surrounding her relationship with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez has spoken out about feeling “misunderstood at times,” drawing parallels between her emotions and those of her character in her upcoming sci-fi film, ‘Atlas’.
In an interview with People magazine at the film’s Los Angeles premiere, Lopez expressed, “We are so different because she, like, doesn’t wear any of her emotions. She’s so closed off and I am too much emotional sometimes.”
She further reflected on her character’s strength and certainty, remarking, “At times. She was very sure… felt very misunderstood at times. I can also relate to that a bit.” The 54-year-old star’s remarks come amidst ongoing speculation about her relationship with Affleck, whom she married in July 2022.
Recent reports from Page Six revealed Affleck’s house-hunting activities in Los Angeles, coinciding with Lopez’s solo real estate browsing.
However, insiders have clarified that Lopez’s property search is unrelated to divorce rumours, suggesting she is considering investment opportunities.
Sources also hinted at marital troubles brewing for several months, with recent events adding fuel to the breakup speculation.
Lopez’s social media activity, including a ‘like’ on an Instagram post about unhealthy relationship traits, intensified the rumors.
Additionally, a source close to Affleck revealed his reconsideration of their union, expressing sentiments of disillusionment.
Insiders suggest Affleck feels Lopez struggles with satisfaction, citing it as a significant issue in their relationship.
Recent solo appearances by Lopez, including her attendance at the ‘Atlas’ premiere with her wedding band on display, have only fuelled speculation, particularly as Affleck was occupied with filming commitments. Source: ANI -
Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck embroiled in divorce rumors
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship seems to have hit another bump on the road. Despite the “Queen of Dance’s” supposed three-part $20 million love letter to Affleck, expressed through the multi-hyphenate musical sci-fi film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, her single This Is Me… Now and Amazon Prime documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, the Hollywood couple has reportedly hit a rough patch in under two years of their marriage.
In Touch Weekly’s latest report, with the couple’s troubled marriage as its subject line, suggests that Affleck has already “moved out” of their shared residence.
The unnamed source who spilled the alleged secret to the website said, “The writing is on the wall—it’s over… They’re headed for a divorce—and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!”
On May 6, JLo helmed the pivotal position as one of the Met Gala co-chairs. However, Affleck stayed absent from the scene, missing out on the opportunity to cheer on his wife during her starry red carpet moment. Though media reports initially connected his absence at the Gala to his official commitments to filming The Accountant 2, In Touch Weekly’s new claims suggest otherwise. The website’s source told them that Affleck had, in fact, “decided to call it quits” with the 54-year-old pop diva.
Ever since they rekindled their romance, both Hollywood stars have approached their time in the spotlight differently. While JLo has avidly been the subject of several stories on camera, the Air actor has reduced his public presence to a minimum.
He’s even admitted wanting to stay away from making headlines for his relationship, but also being stuck in limbo in Jenny From the Block’s documentary: “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain, and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re trying to learn to compromise.”
Despite their former love-filled visage, fans were quick to speculate about the growing distance between the two. According to The Mirror, they were last spotted together in the final week of March, when they were headed out for a NYC lunch. The British national daily tabloid also noted that the Marry Me actress was pictured on May 15, arriving at a Los Angeles studio with her crew, minus Ben.
After allegedly moving out of their house, the insider added that Ben is “focussing on his work and his kids now.” With their relationship supposedly headed towards its downfall, the source also stated that the couple “will likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for.” Although the said person claims that Ben and Jennifer will “never stop loving each other,” the suspected crossfire emerges out of their different outlooks. -

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially a married couple, the singer-actor confirmed through her newsletter, On the JLo, on July 17. Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in a small ceremony in Las Vegas’s Little White Wedding Chapel. Now, a witness from Jennifer and Ben’s wedding ceremony said in a new interview that the couple was ‘emotional’, and cried as they read their wedding vows. As per reports, an excerpt of Jennifer’s newsletter said that the couple married with ‘the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives.’ She also called it ‘the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last’.
Now, Kenosha Portis, who watched Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s 10-minute ceremony, told Good Morning America the two were affectionate and ‘very sweet’. “It was so exciting. We were getting ready to close and we had a special guest arrive as a walk-in… I’m like, ‘Oh my god, this is Jennifer Lopez we’re getting ready to marry’.

In addition to her note following the wedding, Jennifer also shared some photos and videos from the big night, including selfies with the groom. Jennifer and Ben met in 2001 on the set of their film Gigli, and got engaged the following year. However, just days before their 2003 wedding, the two called it quits. Since then, Ben married and divorced actor Jennifer Garner; while Jennifer married and divorced singer Marc Anthony and also dated Alex Rodriguez, former American baseball player. Jennifer and Ben officially rekindled their relationship in 2021.

Ana de Armas fuels rumors she’s back with Ben Affleck, then shuts them down
Actor Ana de Armas on Sunday fuelled rumours that she’d gotten back together with Ben Affleck. She took to Instagram Stories and posted a picture of herself wearing a necklace she used to wear when she was reportedly dating Affleck last year. They were said to have split up earlier this year. The picture shared by her showed the actor wearing a beige top, and a half-heart pendant. Fans were quick to notice that it was one half of the matching pendant she used to wear with Affleck. However, the actor seemingly dismissed the rumours almost immediately when she posted a follow-up story, which was simply a collection of stickers that said ‘nope’ and ‘I don’t think so’. “Ana de Armas really said: thank you, next,” one fan wrote in a tweet. Another person tweeted, “Omg it’s March 2020 all over again. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic. Barchie isn’t getting together after getting my hopes up. And Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas might be dating again.” A third person commented, “Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are still dating which means 2020 never ended.” “Ben is no longer dating Ana. Their relationship was complicated. Ana does not want to be Los Angeles based and Ben obviously has to since his kids live in Los Angeles,” a source told People magazine earlier this year.
