Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ‘no longer SPEAKING to each other’
According to reports, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are having difficulty coming to an understanding on their split.
The 51-year-old star of Good Will Hunting has been making headlines with his 55-year-old wife, Jennifer, and the two have been the subject of divorce rumors since DailyMail.com exclusively disclosed that paperwork had been “finalized, but not yet turned in.”
The once-in-love couple, who dated from 2002 to 2004, has been spotted without their wedding bands in recent months and appears to be moving forward with their divorce after a last-ditch effort at reconciliation failed.
Additionally, the pair appears to have severed all ties with one another as rumors of the demise of their A-list union reach a fever pitch.
It’s getting harder for the Gone Girl star and the Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer to come to an understanding since, according to TMZ, they have completely stopped communicating.
According to the site, the big names in Hollywood have been making their split more difficult by remaining silent and declining to speak with each other over the phone or in person.
According to TMZ, the celebs have consulted with their individual business managers rather than hiring attorneys at this time.
But after they come to an agreement, they intend to retain divorce attorneys.
Representatives for Ben and Jennifer have been approached by DailyMail.com for comments.
A friend of the pair informed DailyMail.com last week that the couple is still planning to file for divorce.
The announcement was made on July 24, the day his spouse celebrated her birthday, after Ben lavished a whooping $20.5 million on a brand-new “bachelor pad” mansion in the Pacific Palisades.
Furthermore, Jennifer’s pals claimed that she was upset about the purchase and that it felt like a “stab to the heart.”
Days after the couple advertised their Beverly Hills property for $68 million, Ben made a sumptuous purchase.
According to People, the singer also completed the $23 million sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse on July 24.
One person close to the couple said, “They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but they’re waiting for the right time to drop them.”
At that point, they will jointly issue a statement expressing their deep love for one another and their attempts, but failures, to make their relationship work.
To be honest, they were never able to reach an amicable agreement. Another report asserted, “What they had before is gone, and they have both accepted it.”
Ben also revealed his startling new look amid rumors of their breakup.
The actor, who had a midlife crisis, appeared to be wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt and a little faux-hawk.
He completed the look with aviator sunglasses, slim pants, and an undersized black leather jacket, but he was conspicuously missing his wedding ring.
The last time Ben and Jennifer were seen together was on March 30. Since then, they have separated for the summer, with Ben staying in Los Angeles and Jennifer spending most of her time on the east coast.
The pair even spent their wedding anniversary, which fell on July 16, in different towns, demonstrating that they had no intention of being romantic.
In May, rumors about Ben and Jennifer’s marital problems started to spread after people close to the pair stated Ben had moved into a $100,000 rental and the pair planned to sell their “dream home.”
Jennifer’s marriage was “not in the best place at the moment,” an individual close to her earlier told the People.
According to a another source, the couple’s rift had been “difficult day-to-day” due to fundamental philosophical disagreements.
The insider stated, “She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world.” “He is more private and introspective.”
Ben’s residence was only a short drive away from the Brentwood home of his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The pair wed in 2005 and had three children together: Violet, now 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12.
According to a body language expert who previously spoke with DailyMail.com, Ben and Jennifer didn’t seem pleased and didn’t have the “look of love” in their eyes, which may be a sign that the couple is getting a second divorce.
