Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first got married in Las Vegas, then on August 20, 2022, they had a second wedding at Ben?s Georgia estate. There?s been some discussion about who wanted what my opinion and my memory of what went down two years ago was that Jennifer was the driving force for both weddings. While Ben popped the question of his own accord, I do feel like Jennifer wanted to lock it down quickly with the Vegas wedding before he got cold feet. The Georgia wedding was a piece of closure they were originally supposed to get married in Georgia nearly twenty years beforehand. Well, J.Lo chose the second wedding anniversary to file for divorce from Ben. It was a long time coming, and Ben had been checked out of the marriage for most of this year. But Page Six?s sources now say that Ben actually began to check out of the marriage on the honeymoon. The fk??
The honeymoon was over just as it started ?Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez?s relationship issues began on their honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy, a source familiar with the situation tells Page Six. The couple?s honeymoon included numerous public outings packed with PDA and shopping ? and, yes, there were of course cameras capturing it all.
?He was unhappy with paparazzi following them. She is an international superstar, and he acted like it came as a surprise that they would be followed around,? the source said. When they weren?t in front of the cameras, ?They would barely speak to each other during what was supposed to be the happiest time of their life. He sold her on him being a changed man, and that lasted a very short time,? our source claimed.
Another insider told us Affleck finally came to his senses about their renewed puppy love, once his sobriety ?started to settle in with normality.?
When they started seeing each other again, ?He was just getting sober ? He was in a vulnerable state, and whatever their chemistry played into that ? He was in this frenzied, excitable state,? the insider said. Affleck has been open about his struggles with alcohol in the past. He?d reportedly last returned to rehab in 2018.
The whirlwind romance soon wore off once he adjusted to his sober life. Affleck started craving more privacy, and he could no longer take Lopez?s level of celebrity, according to the insider. ?He doesn?t want [the entourage] and all the drama that comes with that in his home,? the source said.

I felt like Page Six was talking out of their ass so I actually looked back into the 2022 archives. I had no memory of a ?honeymoon in Como.? What happened is that after the Las Vegas wedding, Ben and J.Lo took their kids to Paris and they had a family vacation/honeymoon in France in July 2022. Then Bennifer had their second wedding in Georgia in August 2022, and after that, Ben and Jen went on a no-kids honeymoon in Como. They got pap?d constantly on the Paris trip (the photos were amazing, honestly), but the Como honeymoon was relatively low-key. There were some long-lens pap photos when they went out to dinner, but beyond that, we actually didn?t see much of them?
All of which to say, I think J.Lo?s fame was a factor, just as I think Ben?s sobriety was a factor. But their marriage failed for a variety of reasons, reasons which were compounded when Ben basically decided he was over it and he stopped trying.

In some ways, I?m glad that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn?t ?rush? into filing for divorce. They were very clearly separated for the past four months or so, although I think Jennifer?s moves show that she still believed that reconciliation was a possibility. But it was clear back in February that Ben had checked out of the marriage. His side has been clearly briefing about it for months, as has J.Lo?s side. Ben?s side is basically: when he?s done, he?s done, and he?s been done all year; he wants to focus on himself; he thinks this was all an expensive exercise in closure. Jennifer?s side is that she really tried and she hoped that they could make it work but Ben shut down. I also think it?s notable that she filed for divorce. He basically forced her to do it because he was so disengaged from her and their relationship/marriage. Sound familiar? He did the same thing when they broke up the first time, in 2003-04.
Jennifer Lopez approached her decision to divorce from Ben Affleck with great care, a source exclusively tells PEOPLE.
After the singer, 55, filed for divorce from the actor, 52, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, a source tells PEOPLE that she came to the painful conclusion that its time to move on for various reasons.
Shes very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasnt given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasnt shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. Its gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself, says the source.
Multiple insiders confirmed to PEOPLE that the star filed for divorce from Affleck in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on the second anniversary of their wedding celebration in front of family and friends in Georgia.

?He hasnt shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work.? Yep. He was done and he waited for her to understand that he was done. He stopped trying, he stopped making an effort. It basically took Jennifer four months to understand that there was no going back. The big thing was probably the fact that he did nothing for her birthday in July and he closed escrow on his new bachelor pad on that day. Anyway, I?ll always be Team J.Lo. I feel sorry for her, even if she should have listened to all of the advice people gave her. When Jane Fonda is like ?slow your roll, stop being so extra, this marriage might blow up in your face,? you should probably listen.
