Jennifer Lopez has made a bold move by filing for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second wedding anniversary. It’s clear that she wants to make a statement and show the world that she is “a woman standing up in her own way.” On the specific date of August 20th, Lopez filed for divorce in LA County Superior Court, representing herself without a lawyer. This decision further emphasizes her desire to take back control of her own life. While Lopez spent her summer in the Hamptons, enjoying bike rides and celebrating her birthday without Affleck, he was working on his latest movie in Los Angeles. Reports suggest that Lopez felt “humiliated” and “frustrated” that their reconciliation did not work out, especially since she had previously declared Affleck as the love of her life. While it may be a difficult time for both parties involved, it is clear that Jennifer Lopez is determined to move forward and embrace her independent future.
