Since rumors of a crisis emerged months ago, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been the focus of media attention. Although the controversial separation might be nearing its end, as a source close to them revealed to the British outlet Daily Mail that they have already signed the divorce papers, they haven’t filed them yet. So, the couple hasn’t officially confirmed their status.
Given the circumstances, it’s inevitable that both are in the spotlight. Recently, Ben Affleck has drastically changed his look. His new style, with a shaved head, leather jacket, and fitted jeans, is a clear departure from his usual image. And could suggest that he’s ready for a new chapter as a single man.

In photos that have gone viral on social media, the actor appears visibly slimmer with a haircut featuring shaved sides and a kind of mohawk, giving him a more rebellious and casual look. It’s unclear if this change is due to a new role or simply a personal choice. Additionally, he has acquired a new apartment. And both he and JLo have put their $68 million mansion in Beverly Hills up for sale.
After months of rumors about their marriage, it seems the couple has definitively gone their separate ways. The ‘On The Floor’ singer has also given signs that fuel the speculation. Recently, she has been seen without her engagement ring, breaking hearts after her many declarations over the years that Affleck was the love of her life.

The famous couple rekindled their romance in July 2021, shortly after Jennifer Lopez broke up with Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez in April of that year. Originally, Affleck and Lopez were together from 2002 to 2004, during the time of the movie Gigli, which they both starred in, though it wasn’t well received by critics. They split up shortly after, but in 2021 they decided to give it another try. However, as we know, the reconciliation hasn’t worked out.
According to the Daily Mail, although the papers were finalized a month ago, the couple is waiting for the right moment to file them. Another close source indicated that despite their efforts, the problems between them have overshadowed their love, leading to an inevitable separation. We are very sorry to hear this news about the couple and wish them both the best.
