Discussions about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck moving forward with the process to finalize an impending divorce have emerged.

Even though their marriage is said to have reached its conclusion, Lopez is believed to be holding onto hope that there is still a chance for them to reconcile and rebuild their relationship.

A source told In Touch via OK magazine, "She's begged him to give their marriage a second chance."

Unfortunately, the Gone Girl actor's mind is reportedly made up. "The divorce is happening; it's just a question of timing."

The insider added, "[Affleck] is telling friends that he's looking forward to the next chapter. He wants a life with serenity and peace, and escaping this roller coaster will be a relief."

They reported that Lopez and Affleck seek an amicable separation to ensure a seamless transition for their kids.

Ensuring everything is to avoid a messy legal dispute, the 51-year-old is reportedly adamant about proper preparation for the inevitable. Following their marriage in 2022, Lopez and Affleck were spotted together in Santa Monica, Calif., on June 2, but witnesses noted a noticeable tension during their encounter.

"It was so awkward. They didn't show any real affection like a normal married couple, but they had these big smiles on their faces, like they were faking it for the cameras."

They went on to say, "Their marriage has indeed come to an end," mentioning that Affleck agreed "with some hesitation" to delay any official statement until the 54-year-old muti-hyphenate felt prepared.

Another insider revealed that the separation has been incredibly challenging for Lopez.

"She's lost everything. Between dealing with crisis management and intense heartbreak, she's told friends she needs help," they said, referring to the cancelation of This Is Me... Now Live tour.

The spark behind her latest album, which served as the foundation for the upcoming tour, was the tumultuous love story between her and Affleck.

The abrupt end of their marriage after a mere two years has reportedly left the "Get Right" singer in a state of constant emotional turmoil. Per In Touch Weekly, from fits of anger to overwhelming despair and even experiencing panic attacks, she finds herself oscillating between different emotional states. The idea of a life without Affleck seems deep to her, leading to a significant strain on their relationship.

The insider added Affleck's top priority is to avoid causing his wife pain, as his feelings for her remain strong, rooted in love and respect.

It is worth mentioning that Lopez and Affleck have not officially confirmed a divorce. Rumors and speculation are merely fueled by observations from various media platforms and social media by outlets and publications.
