As the details of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s split continue to emerge, it becomes clear that the emotional toll on both sides is significant, especially for Lopez, who has been “hit hard” by Ben Affleck amid the divorce. The insider noted that despite their efforts to make the marriage work, the couple had been facing challenges for some time, leading to the decision to part ways.
“Jennifer has always been someone who believes in love and putting family first,” the source said. “She really tried to make things work with Ben, but it just became too difficult. The separation wasn’t something she took lightly.”
The couple’s lavish Beverly Hills mansion, which they bought with the intention of creating a warm, blended home for their family, now feels more like a reminder of what could have been. “Jennifer finds it increasingly hard to live there without being reminded of their life together,” the source added. “The house was supposed to be a fresh start, but now it feels like a place that holds too much emotional weight.”
The breakup also impacted their children, who had begun to adjust to their blended family dynamic. Affleck’s three children from his marriage to Jennifer Garner and Lopez’s twins from her marriage to Marc Anthony were reportedly becoming close, making the separation all the more difficult.
Despite the heartbreak, Lopez remains focused on her children and her career, determined to keep moving forward. “Jennifer is incredibly resilient, and she’s focusing on what matters most—her kids and her work. She’s channeling her energy into those areas of her life right now,” the insider shared.
As for Affleck, sources suggest that he too is grappling with the end of their relationship, though his focus has been on co-parenting and maintaining a strong bond with his children. The actor and director has been seen spending time with his kids and ex-wife Jennifer Garner, as they all adjust to this new chapter in their lives.
The source concluded by saying, “This isn’t where either of them wanted to end up, but they’re trying to navigate it the best they can. They both have a lot of love for their families and are doing everything they can to ensure that their kids feel supported during this time.”
The split between Affleck and Lopez marks another chapter in their long, complex relationship, one that has seen its fair share of ups and downs. As they move forward separately, both stars are likely to continue facing challenges, but their commitment to their families remains a priority.
