The rumors of their impending divorce have shown no sign of slowing down, and Jennifer Lopez is reportedly humiliated that her marriage to Ben Affleck lasted just two years. This latest update—including who’s instigating their split—comes as “Bennifer” has put their $60 million marital home on the market.
“She’s lost everything. Between dealing with crisis management and intense heartbreak, she’s told friends she needs help,” an insider told In Touch Weekly, adding that JLo is “humiliated that it’s over already after just two years. She’s been crying all the time, going from anger to despair to delusion, and even having panic attacks. She’s saying she can’t imagine a scenario where she can exist without Ben in her life, which is putting a ton of pressure on him.”

The source went on to suggest that Ben was the one steering the divorce ship. “Ben wants to do this in a civilized way and make sure the transition is as smooth as possible for the kids … [He] wants them to have all their ducks in a row so there’s no messy court battle.”
They concluded: “The divorce is happening; it’s just a question of timing. Ben 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.”
In Touch was the first outlet to break the news that Jen and Ben were headed for divorce. “The writing is on the wall—it’s over. They’re headed for a divorce—and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!” a source told the outlet. “He’s focusing on his work and his kids now. Ben 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.”
