Ben Affleck ‘lays charm on J Lo’, so divided ‘won’t explode’

Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, also have their children to think about.

The insider continued, “They’re in the middle of it, so the less combative this divorce is, the better it is for the kids. That’s Ben’s first priority here: the kids.”

After months of speculation, the Marry me actress officially filed for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday, August 20 – coincidentally on the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Georgia.

According to sources, Lopez “finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would submit, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision.”

Lopez quoted “irreconcilable differences” in her application and made no mention of a prenuptial agreement.
