Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s crumbling marriage might be over for good – as friends close to the couple claim the divorce papers are already finalized!

One insider close to the Good Will Hunting actor and Love Don't Cost a Thing singer said: “They finalized the divorce papers a month ago but are waiting for the right time to drop them.
“At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work but couldn’t.
“Honestly, in the end, they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it.”

Affleck and Lopez’s rumored divorce would mark the latest obstacle for the Jenny from the Block hitmaker to overcome this year.

She was forced to cancel her This Is Me... Live summer tour in May following what some sources described as poor ticket sales. An official newsletter sent out to fans said Lopez was “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends”.
The singer-turned-actress also received poor reviews for her latest sci-fi action film on Netflix, Atlas. Although critics panned the film, it scored with viewers and preceded a massive deal between Lopez and the streaming platform giant.
