Jennifer Lopez is 'devastated' about Ben Affleck divorce, 'gave it her all to make this work': source
Jennifer Lopez is "devastated" over her split from Ben Affleck following two years of marriage, a source told Fox News Digital.
The "Let's Get Loud" singer gave the marriage her all and wanted to make things work after the couple rekindled their romance, the source noted.
Meanwhile, Affleck seems to be doing just fine despite the marriage ending, another source shared with Fox News Digital. The "Gone Girl" star "threw in the towel a long time ago."
JENNIFER LOPEZ, BEN AFFLECK DIVORCE AFTER TWO YEARS OF MARRIAGE
Lopez filed for divorce on Aug. 20 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Her petition for the dissolution of their marriage was filed on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding. Lopez listed April 26 as the date of separation, according to People magazine.
Affleck was photographed without his wedding ring on the same day Lopez filed. The 52-year-old actor had been spotted with and without the ring as the couple faced speculation of a split.
Another source told Fox News Digital, "Ben has been his usual, high-energetic self. He's been busy with his kids and work and seems to be doing just fine."
Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Lopez and Affleck for comment.
Rumors surrounding the couple's marriage have plagued the Hollywood heavyweights for months. Sources told People magazine in June that Lopez was living in the couple's $60 million Beverly Hills abode while Affleck stayed in a rental nearby as they attempted to sell the pricey mansion.
"He started moving out a while ago," a source told Fox News Digital at the time. "The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken. She loves love and wanted this to work so badly."
