AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez, 55, is going through a difficult time as she navigates her divorce from Ben Affleck, 52. Sources close to the "Atlas" star have revealed to PEOPLE that she is "upset and disappointed" with Affleck.
The couple has been apart for most of the summer, fueling speculation about their relationship. The source says that Lopez is struggling to live in the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased in 2023.
"She and Ben bought the house for the whole family," the source explains. "It's way too big for her and filled with too many memories as well."
Lopez and Affleck's blended family includes Affleck's children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner (Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel) and Lopez's children with ex-husband Marc Anthony (twins Max and Emme).
Lopez filed for divorce without an attorney, suggesting that she wanted to move forward quickly. Another source says that she is "doing as well as she can" but "didn't want a divorce."
Meanwhile, Affleck has been seen out with friend Matt Damon since the filing. A source says that he is "doing well and is very focused."
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their early 2000s romance in 2021 and married in two ceremonies in 2022. However, their relationship has hit a roadblock, and Lopez is now dealing with the emotional fallout of the divorce.
