Both Lopez and Affleck, 52, have remained quiet since Lopez filed to end their marriage of two years on Tuesday, August 20. Lopez cited irreconcilable differences in the divorce papers and noted that the couple had been living apart since April .
A source who spoke to Us Weekly shared that the couple had pre-planned the terms of their split , with Lopez agreeing to be the one who filed for divorce. “J.Lo finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would file, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision,” the insider told Us .
“They had already agreed to these terms before she filed.” As for why the pair split, another insider shared that the couple steadily realized they were “incompatible.” “It was more and more apparent they weren’t a good match,” the source shared, adding that they tried to “make it work” via couples therapy.
“It boiled down to [the fact that] they are two different people.” When Lopez began gearing up for her since-canceled world tour , the source says the pair realized they were fighting a losing battle. “She came to the realization things weren’t going to change and they were incompatible,”.
