Jennifer Lopez is said to be experiencing a sense of “relief” following her decision to file for divorce from Ben Affleck, even though she did not wish to end their two-year marriage.
According to a source who spoke to People on Monday, “It has been extremely challenging for her that Ben opted to distance himself from their marriage and pursue his own path, leaving her behind.”
“She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up. It’s been almost torture for her to wait around.”
The insider noted that the “On the Floor” artist “appears relieved” since she filed the divorce papers in Los Angeles last week.
“Her family and friends agree that it was the right decision,” the source continued, explaining that J.Lo is “surrounded by a lot of love and support” and will “be fine” because “she’s strong and always comes out on top.”
Lopez, 55, has not been seen freely since authoritatively finishing her relationship with Affleck, 52, on the second commemoration of their wedding function in Georgia.
