Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ‘no longer SPEAKING to each other’ as imminent update on their divorce is revealed

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly no longer on speaking terms as they struggle to reach an agreement over their divorce.

The 51-year-old Good Will Hunting actor has been in the news alongside his 55-year-old wife Jennifer. The pair have been embroiled in divorce rumours after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the documents had been ‘finalised but not yet filed.’

In recent months, photos have been taken of the once-loving couple, who dated from 2002 to 2004, without wedding rings. Now they appear to be going through with their divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation failed.

As reports mount about the fate of their A-list marriage, it appears the couple has cut all ties with each other.

According to TMZThe Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer and the Gone Girl star have stopped speaking altogether, making it even harder for the two to come to an agreement.

According to the outlet, the Hollywood moguls are only making the split more difficult by keeping their mouths shut: they refuse to speak to each other in person or by phone.

According to TMZ, the celebrities have not yet hired lawyers, but have contacted their respective business managers.

However, they plan to hire a divorce attorney once they reach a settlement.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Ben and Jennifer for comment.

Last week, a friend of the couple told DailyMail.com that they still plan to divorce.

The news came after Ben spent a whopping $20.5 million on a new bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades on July 24, the day his wife celebrated her birthday.

According to Jennifer’s friends, she was furious about the purchase and felt it “like a stab in the heart.”

Ben’s extravagant purchase came just days after the couple put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale for $68 million.

And July 24 was also the day the singer closed on the sale of her four-bedroom penthouse in New York City for $23 million, People reported.

“They finalized the divorce papers a month ago, but are still waiting for the right time to file,” a source close to the duo said.

‘They will then release a joint statement saying that they love each other very much and that they fought to make it work, but it didn’t work out.

“Honestly, they couldn’t come to a compromise in the end. What they had before is gone and they both accepted it,” another source claimed.

Amid reports of their split, Ben has also revealed his shocking new look. His midlife crisis makeover saw the actor don a tiny faux hawk and a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt.

He completed the outfit with skinny jeans, aviator shades and a black leather jacket that looked too small, but was noticeably without his wedding ring.

Ben and Jennifer were last pictured together on March 30. Since then, they’ve spent the summer apart — Jennifer largely on the East Coast, while Ben remains home in Los Angeles.

The couple showed they had no plans for romance as they celebrated their wedding anniversary, which fell on July 16, in separate cities.

In May, reports emerged about Ben and Jennifer’s marital problems. According to a source close to the couple, Ben had moved into a $100,000 rental home and the couple was looking to sell their “dream home.”

An insider close to Jennifer previously told People that their marriage is “not in the best shape right now.”

A body language expert previously revealed to DailyMail.com claimed that Ben and Jennifer appeared ‘unhappy’ and no longer had a ‘loving look’ in their eyes (seen in January)

Another source noted that the rift between the man and woman was “a difficult daily problem” because of fundamental philosophical differences.

“She likes to open her heart up to her fans and the world,” the source said. “He’s more introspective and private.”

Ben’s house was a short drive from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home in Brentwood.

The couple was married from 2005 to 2018 and have two children: Violet (18), Fin (15) and Samuel (12).

A body language expert previously told DailyMail.com that Ben and Jennifer appeared “unhappy” and no longer had a “lovely look” in their eyes, leading to speculation that the couple could be heading for a second divorce.
