Jennifer Lopez’s close friends are reportedly urging the superstar to take a step back and reflect on her life after she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck for the fourth time. The 55-year-old actress and singer’s love life has always been a topic of public fascination, but it seems her inner circle is growing increasingly concerned with her pattern of impulsive decisions.
An insider confided to DailyMail about the frustration building among Lopez’s friends. “After four failed marriages, her friends feel that she should take a look inside and focus on herself instead of what others want her to be and finally figure out who she is and what she wants from her future,” the source said. Lopez’s latest filing comes exactly two years after her lavish wedding to Affleck in Georgia, a union that had reignited one of Hollywood’s most talked-about romances.
Despite the public perception, the breakdown of their marriage appears to be more complex. A source close to the couple revealed that Affleck, 51, had emotionally checked out long before the official split, allowing Lopez to initiate the divorce on her terms. “Jennifer said she was tired of being humiliated by Ben and she waited until the two-year anniversary because she wanted to sting. But it did not sting him. He’s been done for a long time, and deep down she knows this. He let her have this so that she wouldn’t look like the villain,” the insider explained.
The revelation highlights the deep-seated issues that plagued their relationship, with Affleck reportedly adopting a “high-road” approach to avoid public conflict. Meanwhile, Lopez’s friends are becoming increasingly exasperated with her repetitive patterns, urging her to use this time for self-discovery rather than jumping into another high-profile romance.
Interestingly, despite their personal struggles, Lopez and Affleck remain professionally connected. The two are collaborating on the upcoming film Unstoppable, which has kept them in close contact even as their personal lives diverge.
As the world watches another chapter in Lopez’s storied love life come to an end, those closest to her are hopeful that she will take the opportunity to focus inward, reassess her choices, and perhaps, for the first time in a long while, prioritize her own needs and desires over the expectations of others.
