Jennifer Lopez ends marriage with Ben Affleck amid ongoing turmoil

The marriage of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will soon be history. Although the singer recently spent her birthday with him, visiting their newly purchased house and dedicating much time and attention to his children, they could not mend their relationship. On 20 August, the film and stage star solidified one of the most difficult decisions in her turbulent life.

It's no secret that J.Lo already has considerable courtroom experience. Her three previous marriages also did not stand the test of time, with the shortest lasting only ten months. Of course, the American is far from setting the record held by her former musical rival, Britney Spears, but undoubtedly, the 55-year-old's relationships with men leave much to be desired. Her close ones are also increasingly vocal about it.

The past few months have cost the singer many complex emotions. After moving out of the residence purchased jointly with Affleck, she did not throw herself into work as usual. Instead, the hit "On The Floor" performer was happy to meet with family and friends in the city, not wanting to isolate herself from those close to her heart.

However, they started to feel exhausted by the constant upheavals in Jennifer Lopez's love life. Ben's topic dominated their meetings, which annoyed her confidants noticeably. According to the American website Daily Mail, she behaved exactly the same 13 years ago during the high-profile breakup with Marc Anthony.

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 portal’s editors report, based on statements from people close to her.

The breakup of "Bennifer" complicates their joint film project. Ben Affleck is one of the producers of the drama Unstoppable, in which Jennifer Lopez played the main character's mother. The premiere of the work is scheduled for 6 September.
