Ben Affleck was seen looking happy while receiving a food delivery at his Brentwood, California rental home shortly after his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce. Photos obtained by Page Six showed the actor smiling as he collected his meal from a delivery person in a white car. Sporting a blue Nirvana t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, Affleck appeared in good spirits during the delivery.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck just two years after their marriage. Court documents revealed that the actress cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, listing the date of separation as April 26, 2024. She also waived her right to spousal support and asked the judge to do the same for Affleck. The lack of a prenuptial agreement meant that any income or property acquired during their marriage could be considered community property and divided equally.
Sources close to Lopez claimed that she tried everything to save the marriage, but Affleck’s alleged “darkness” was a contributing factor. Problems between the couple reportedly started during their honeymoon in Italy, where Affleck was unhappy about being followed by paparazzi. Their private interactions during that time were described as limited, despite efforts to portray a changed man on Affleck’s part. While they spent most of the summer apart, Affleck was said to have made time for new friends, including Kick Kennedy.
Affleck has been seen spending time with Kick Kennedy, a 36-year-old daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., at various hotspots like the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 and had a grand wedding in Georgia the following month. Affleck is a father to Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, while Lopez is a mother to twins Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony. Despite their previous attempts to make the marriage work, Lopez and Affleck’s relationship ultimately ended in divorce.
Affleck’s recent interactions with Kennedy and his alleged issues with paparazzi during the honeymoon shed light on potential underlying problems in his marriage to Lopez. The lack of effective communication and seemingly unfulfilled promises of change contributed to the ultimate demise of their relationship. As both Lopez and Affleck move forward separately, their past experiences and challenges provide valuable lessons for their future endeavors. Their high-profile statuses have only intensified the scrutiny surrounding their personal lives, making their divorce a subject of public interest and speculation.
