Jennifer Lopez 'Hiring Crisis PR' To Navigate Ben Affleck Divorce: Report
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce is imminent, according to an insider.
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, have been hit by divorce rumors in the past week. Sources previously claimed that they have been living separately for weeks already. And now an unnamed insider has claimed to In Touch that the "Let's Get Loud" singer is "hiring crisis PR to help navigate the divorce" as "a divorce filing is imminent."
A second source also claimed that Laura Wasser would be handling the celebrity couple's divorce. Both Lopez and Affleck have a history with the divorce attorney.
"It's expected Laura Wasser will be handling this divorce," a second source told InTouch. "Laura was the divorce lawyer who mediated Ben's divorce with Jennifer Garner, and she represented J. Lo in her divorce with Marc Anthony. So there's history on both sides."
A third source told the outlet that the "Justice League" actor is "no longer wearing his wedding band."
On Friday, Affleck was spotted pulling up to one of his kids' schools for a recital. He was photographed while adjusting the sun visor in his car and his wedding band was noticeably missing.

The sighting came just a day after he reunited with Lopez at his daughter Fin's school play. The couple, dubbed "Bennifer," was spotted together for the first time in 47 days amid rumors that they had already split and lived separately on Thursday.
Although they put on a united front for their kids, with Lopez arriving with her daughter Emme, who is very close to Fin, sources claimed that Affleck didn't appear happy to see Lopez.
"Ben did not look happy to see J.Lo as she arrived at a show for one of his kids," the source told the Daily Mail. "When he saw her get out of her car, they did not hug or kiss."
Affleck and Lopez first dated in the early 2000s. However, they canceled their big day three days before they were set to tie the knot due to excessive media attention. They reconciled nearly two decades later, in 2021, and married in July 2022.
A source claimed to In Touch that among their problems was the difference in how they would handle the spotlight. Lopez allegedly loves the attention, but Affleck doesn't feel the same. He even had one request when they reconnected.
"Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media," Affleck said in Lopez's documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told."
