Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are waiting to announce their separation for the sake of their children. Leaked information suggests that the odds will largely go in favor of ….
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are taking their time with their divorce — not for themselves, but for the kids! At least, that’s what this new source is saying.
While it’s no secret the couple is currently estranged amid divorce rumors, the actress and actor have not formally announced a breakup. Some have claimed they’re just waiting for their divorce details to be finalized before confirming the breakup while others have suggested Ben’s giving J.Lo time to repair her reputation online before dropping the (not so shocking) bombshell. And now that they’re no longer talking to each other, that’s made things even more difficult.
But according to this latest source, there’s another reason the pair have agreed to be very strategic and slow with this split — to protect their children. The couple share five kids collectively from their former marriages, and the kids all got along really well during their two-year marriage. So, this separation has been a big adjustment for them.
“[They are] waiting to announce their official split, because they want to make sure everything is seamless when they do, especially with everyone involved. Neither of them want this process to be rushed. They are treating the separation with as much grace, understanding, and gentleness as they can.”
Speaking of Ben’s children with Jennifer Garner, Violet, Fin, and Samuel, and Jenny From the Block‘s kids with Marc Anthony, twins Max and Emme, the source continued:
“They want to make sure the kids are comfortable with the transition and where they are living, etcetera. They don’t want to make it feel like they’re pulling the rug from underneath their children. They’re making a mutual effort to ensure that this transition is as healthy and easy as possible.”
