Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s fairytale romance appears to be nearing its end. Amid claims that the singer saw her husband as a knight in shining armour, sources close to the couple reveal that the divorce papers have been finalised, they have not yet been filed.

While the couple has been working on settling arrangements, they are strategically timing a public announcement with a carefully crafted joint statement. For months, Jen and Ben have been living separately, and although they have not commented on the separation, reports of their marital woes have skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, other insiders claim Affleck has been actively preparing for the split.

Another source has asserted that while the documents have been signed, the couple will maintain a cordial demeanour upon officially confirming the news. “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.”
