Affleck and Lopez were married for two years, before the Marry Me actress filed for divorce on Tuesday, August 20, coincidentally on their second wedding anniversary.

"She wants to see Ben happy, and loves that she’ll get to have a say because whoever he dates is going to be around her kids," the source said.
