Celebrity relationships that look all glitters and gold have the messiest ends to them. And Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who are stuck in a messy divorce, are perhaps the perfect example of it. The couple has been hitting the headlines for even the smallest detail about their separation.
However, it seems like Ben Affleck is enjoying the attention they are getting for this — but for kind reasons. Reports suggest that the ‘Batman‘ actor has been holding back the divorce because he wants less embarrassment and humiliation for his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Ben Affleck Is Making The Divorce Messier On Purpose
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce drama is far from being over. A source claimed that the ‘Jenny From The Block‘ singer is filled with “anger” and is facing “humiliation” because Affleck is delaying the divorce to “protect” her from the embarrassment of yet another separation in their series of breakups.
The couple initially started dating in 2002 and were together till 2004. They rekindled their love story decades later in July 2021, after Lopez split up from her former fiance Alex Rodriguez in April of the same year.
Their quick, oscillating decisions about a consequent on-and-off relationship has put them under scrutiny. Now that their marriage is falling apart again, a source suggests that Affleck was the one to propose getting back together despite a rough past. “She’s furious. He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together,” the source was quoted as saying by Page Six.
The insider further continued that Ben Affleck “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.”

Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez Are Not On Speaking Terms
The divorce between the couple is getting icy. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez aren’t on speaking terms, which has also prevented their divorce from moving forward. As per a report by TMZ, the two don’t even talk to each other over phone calls.
The report further states that the stars recently signed a prenup and the only property assets they would be dividing would be their Beverly Hills mansion, which is up for sale in the market for $68 million.
Moreover, both Affleck and Lopez haven’t opted for a lawyer for this case and they both are handling things via their respective business managers, who are trying to settle things between the couple.
Both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are expected to reach a settlement in the coming days before any fillings can be made. It would be interesting to see for how long the drama gets dragged along.
