The tell-tale signs the couple’s marriage has been on the rocks

JENNIFER Lopez and Ben Affleck are set to “file for divorce” after weeks of split rumours, according to reports.

The Hollywood couple married two years ago at a lavish ceremony at the Batman actor’s £7million plantation in the southern state of Georgia, 20 years after their first engagement.

They won’t be getting one of J-Lo’s rom-com fairytale endings as they are reportedly said to be “pushing ahead with a divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation” failed, The Mail reports.

Their divorce documents are said to be “finalised, but not yet turned in”, as sources told the publication.

The pair have not been seen together for weeks and Ben was even a no-show at Jennifer’s Bridgerton-themed party for her 55th birthday.

Amid rumours their marriage was on the rocks, actor Ben, 51, clutched a coffee 2,500 miles away in Los Angeles.

It comes after Gone Girl star Ben, 51, bought a brand new £23million ‘bachelor pad’ mansion in Los Angeles on July 24, the day Jennifer turned 55.

The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, guest quarters and a media room.

It comes just weeks after he put the Beverly Hills mansion he shared with Jennifer Beverly Hills on sale for $68 million, reports TMZ.

SIGNS OF TROUBLE

There have been signs that their marriage appeared to be in trouble for months.

In May, J-Lo called off her US summer tour just weeks before it was due to start, telling fans she was “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends”.

The singer-turned-actress added: “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”

Shortly afterwards, Ben was pictured with ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner, in Santa Monica taking their son Samuel, 12, to basketball practice.

The next day J-Lo arrived to see Samuel play a match in the city and shared an awkward-looking kiss with Ben which fans fear was staged for the cameras.

Amid her relationship turmoil, she has since reportedly warned Ben’s ex to stay away from him.

Ben has repeatedly been seen without his wedding ring of late, and he and J-Lo are believed to have put their £45million Beverly Hills marital home on the market.

It was revealed last month Ben had moved out of the 12-bedroom mansion and into a £78,000-a-month rental home in Los Angeles suburb Brentwood, while J-Lo has been photographed house-hunting without her husband.

The Hollywood couple met on the set of the 2002 film Gigli and got engaged later that year before calling time in 2004, only to then get back together and marry in July 2022.

SEPARATE LIVES

But now Ben and J-Lo have reportedly been living separate lives for some time.

J-Lo now appears to be preparing for the worst, and after it emerged, she hired a crisis PR team.

She also broke her silence over the marriage rumours, blasting “negativity” in the world, while refusing to say all is well with her man.

The pair also looked tense at the premiere of Jen’s Netflix film The Mother, as J-Lo gesticulated at Ben while he looked annoyed.

She has also revealed they have clashed over her revealing outfits.

The star admitted: “He’ll joke with me sometimes . . . he’ll say things like, ‘Where’s the rest of that shirt?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, this one doesn’t have anything else’.”

There has been wedding ring drama, too. Ben was spotted without his band last month, at his kids’ school, but days later had it on again when pictured pulling up to his rental home.

Then J-Lo was seen looking for a new home, without Ben.

An insider said: “He’s focusing on his work and kids now.

“He already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for.

“They’ll never stop loving each other but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
