Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially ending their marriage, with fresh details shedding light on the reason behind Lopez's decision to file for divorce. Despite efforts to avoid the topic, rumors of trouble have been circulating since May, when Lopez dodged a question about a potential split during a press tour for her Netflix film, ‘Atlas.’ The speculation only intensified after reports emerged that Affleck had moved out of their shared home, with sources hinting at ongoing tension. Now, three months later, Lopez has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and aiming to revert to her original name. Interestingly, court documents reveal that the couple had already separated back in April, earlier than previously thought.
