    Jennifer Lopez is still reeling from the end of her marriage to Ben Affleck .

    Jennifer Lopez has been left feeling 'duped' by the demise of her marriage to Ben Affleck. MEGA

    According to insiders, the Selena actress "didn't want their marriage to end, but it was clear that Ben was not into it ."

    "The honeymoon phase was very quick for them. Their differences came out early on in the relationship after they got married and were arguing," the source added. "Being private meant different things to the two and drove a wedge between them. Their relationship was like 'opposites attract' until it wasn't."

    The former pair, who rekindled their early 2000s romance in 2021, began to show signs of distance between them in the spring. According to Lopez's filing, the listed date of separation was April 26, 2024.

    As for Affleck, Lopez's need to be in the spotlight became too much for him to take on. "He still has love for her but couldn't handle everything that came with being married to her," the insider explained.

    While Lopez may still be licking her wounds about the breakup, she's not sad about keeping her giant engagement rings from the Boston native. "This isn't the first time Jen has kept the bling," a source spilled.

    “Back in 2003, after their first engagement went up in flames, Jennifer held on to a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring worth a cool $3.52 million. Fast-forward to 2024, and now she has no intention of parting with the latest gem!” the insider revealed of the New York native and what she held onto after their first spin around the block. “It was a gift. Just because the relationship didn’t work out doesn’t mean she has to give it back. Jennifer has zero guilt about keeping it, and clearly Ben doesn’t mind — he’s done this twice already! It’s not like he didn’t know what he was getting into!”

    Entertainment Tonight spoke with sources close to Lopez.

    I believe it is possible he got all the physical, sexual longing he had for her during his marriage to Garner…. out of his system. She had changed so much during their 20 years of not being together… she got more famous, more needy, more fit, had her kids, more extreme, more narcissistic….. that this was not the same girl he fell in love with 20 years ago. It looks like he discovered the grass was not greener on the other side and what she wanted in life was a very public marriage and he did not. Good for him to come to this realization. Not an easy thing to do yet he did it. She on the other hand is an empty vessel looking for the public to be her lover. Nothing else matters except this. THEIR SHIP HAD SAILED!

    She tried to publicize every second of her marriage. THIS IS ONE GAL WHO HAS NO IDEA OF THE MEANING OF THE WORD …. MARRIAGE. She is 4 down… not counting her long term ENGAGEMENT to Alex Rodriguez. Only 4 more to go to tie with Elizabeth Taylor. LOPEZ IS MARRIED TO HERSELF. Her Narcissism is a huge as Trumps.
