Jennifer Lopez is “furious” and “humiliated” over her split from Ben Affleck, says a source, who tells Page Six that the “Gone Girl” star is holding off on filing for divorce to spare her more embarrassment.
“She’s furious,” says the source. “He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.”
The “Jenny from the Block” chart topper and Affleck rekindled their relationship in July 2021, following Lopez’s split from her former fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, in April 2021.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 51, previously dated from 2002 to 2004 after infamously starring together in the movie “Gigli.”
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” explains the source. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”The pair eloped to Las Vegas in July 2022, and had another wedding celebration at Affleck’s home in Riceboro, Georgia, the next month.Lopez’s album, “This Is Me…Now,” and the accompanying Amazon Prime documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” co-starring Affleck, was inspired by their relationship.
“She is a romantic,” says our source.
We hear that the “Hustlers” star is also upset because the couple’s respective children are involved.
“There are five kids involved in this,” says the source. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
Lopez has twins — Max and Emme, 16 — from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 18, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.
We hear Lopez is particularly close with Violet.
We’re told Affleck — who just purchased a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades, Calif., home after his marital residence with Lopez was put on the market for $68 million — is holding off filing for divorce in order to avoid humiliating her further, says another source.
“He’s very protective of her,” says the source.
According to TMZ, Affleck and Lopez are no longer speaking — which is reportedly slowing down the divorce process.
Insiders told the outlet that the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer and “The Town” actor have not hired divorce lawyers, and instead are having their business managers hash out the details.
Their reps did not comment.
