Jakarta – Interaction breakdowns and perceived dismissive behavior reportedly contributed to the separation of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, culminating in their divorce finalized in January.
The couple, married for two years, experienced a growing disconnect despite a highly publicized rekindling of their relationship two decades after their initial engagement. A source revealed to Star, as reported by detikHOT on Friday (September 5, 2025), that the post-divorce relationship was less amicable than publicly perceived.Lopez reportedly ceased initiating text messages after Affleck consistently failed to respond. The source stated Affleck “never answered,” leading Lopez to feel the lack of response was disrespectful. This included a lack of reply on Affleck’s birthday. Affleck often responded to Lopez’s messages with minimal replies or simply “likes.”
The majority - 99.9 percent – of communication between the pair was handled through lawyers and assistants.This poor communication, compounded by ongoing difficulties selling their Beverly Hills luxury homes, reportedly fueled Lopez’s frustration.
Lopez filed for divorce in August, though the couple had been separated for months prior. following the separation, numerous rumors circulated, which Affleck addressed in a March interview with GQ magazine, emphasizing his continued respect for Lopez and denying any scandal surrounding their split.
