Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s second failed romance is ‘most expensive exercise in closure ever’: friend

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading for a multi-million dollar “exercise in closure” — all because they couldn’t stop wondering about the “unfinished business” of their past, according to sources.

“They got caught up in the moment. Jennifer had wanted this wedding — the gowns, the friends, all the trappings and trimmings — for decades,” one friend told Pvnew.

After calling off their first engagement in 2004, the two apparently always wondered “what if,” leading to a rekindled romance and wedding in 2022. The three-day affair at Affleck’s $8 million estate in Georgia, was a blow-out, with Lopez wearing not one but three gowns by Ralph Lauren.

Now, sources told Pvnew, the couple is expected to announce their marriage is officially over by the end of the summer.

The friend said both Affleck and Lopez got caught up in nostalgia and the idea of finally living out their dream from two decades ago.

Now,”They’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business of 20 plus years ago. They’ve seen things through to the end — and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul,” the friend said. “No further unanswered questions. They’ve seen all they need to see, and it’s over.

“In the end, it’s gonna be the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever.”

In May, a source told Pvnew of Affleck: “If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would. He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream … “

The couple have listed their $68 million Beverly Hills house for sale, and Affleck has already bought a $20 million home in Brentwood, close to his three children and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Lopez, meanwhile, has been touring homes since returning to Los Angeles spending the past month in the Hamptons.

“Ben’s found his new home, Jen’s about to select hers. It’s absolutely done and there is zero interest, inclination or reason to turn back,” said the friend.

Affleck, who turns 52 on August 15, did not join his wife on her 55th birthday in the Hamptons, which she celebrated with a “Bridgerton”-themed bash followed by a brunch.

“Her summer isn’t exactly what she originally had planned, but she’s making the best of it. She’s always grateful for family time,” a source told People.
