Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly divorcing just two years after they tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony.

After speculation of a marriage breakdown, friends of the high-profile couple confirmed the sad news to Daily Mail.

“They finalised the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them,” one source claimed.

“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.

Another said: “Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it.”

The pair have not been seen together in months, with 51-year-old Affleck noticeably absent at Lopez’s 55th birthday bash days ago.

Affleck also recently splashed $20 million on a new home in LA after the property he bought with Lopez was put on the market for $68 million, further fueling rumours of a split.

His purchase reportedly upset Lopez, with her friends claiming it was “a stab to the heart”.
