Ben and J.Lo are in the midst of a rocky split. J.Lo filed for divorce on Aug. 20 and listed the date of separation as April 26 of that year on the official documents. Earlier in the year, rumors rumbled about the divide before it was made public, especially when Ben moved out of the family home.
A source told People, “This has been one of the hardest years for Jennifer,” adding: “She didn’t want to file for divorce. She just had no choice. Nothing was going to change with Ben.”
Now, she’s taking a step back from dating, according to an insider. They told Life & Style: She decided to do some introspection she says four divorces will do that. Get ready for an all new J. Lo she wants to start a new chapter … She’s determined to turn all this heartbreak into her superpower, to take ownership of any self-destruction and make changes.”
Ben made an attempt to stay amicable with J.Lo. After they put together a new project, Unstoppable, he couldn’t avoid chatting about his ex. He explained that the cast was incredibly “passionate” about the film, telling Entertainment Tonight, Unstoppable is a very different movie than this, but in a way its similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists. Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome], and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film.”
