“She’s furious,” an alleged insider told Page Six. “He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.”
Lopez and Affleck reignited their romance in July 2021, shortly after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez in April of the same year. The pair, who previously dated from 2002 to 2004, famously starred together in the films Gigli and Jersey Girl. Now, at 55 and 51 respectively, they have found their way back to each other… only to find themselves allegedly splitting once again.
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” the insider added. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”
Indeed, Lopez and Affleck reunited to much fanfare. The power couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022. They followed it up with a wedding celebration at Affleck’s home in Riceboro, Georgia, the following month.
Compounding the situation, Lopez’s album, This Is Me…Now, along with the Amazon Prime documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, featuring Affleck, draws inspiration from their relationship. Their supposed star-crossed love has been very much on front street.
“She is a romantic,” the insider told Page Six.

Meanwhile, the source also told the outlet that Lopez is livid over the quick split after their families blended so well together.
“There are five kids involved in this,” the insider pointed out. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
Of course, Lopez has twins, Max and Emme, who are 16 years old, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, Affleck has three children—Violet, 18; Fin, 17; and Samuel, 12—from his former marriage to Jennifer Garner.
For what it’s worth, Affleck is allegedly attempting to spare Lopez’s feelings through the process. “He’s very protective of her,” the insider told Page Six.
Despite this, the duo is reportedly no longer speaking. Of course, this sort of behavior only further deploys the pending divorce.
