Jennifer Lopez's own friends 'are fed up of her antics' as she files for divorce for fourth time...with Ben Affleck 'deploying very clever tactic against her'
Jennifer Lopez's own friends have suggested the actress needs to 'look inside herself' after she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, ending her fourth marriage.
Those close to the superstar singer and actress are growing tired of her chaotic life following the announcement Bennifer are over, a source told DailyMail.com
The insider said: 'After four failed marriages, her friends feel that she should take a look inside and focus on herself instead of what others want her to be and finally figure out who she is and what she wants from her future.'
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce without an attorney Tuesday - on the second anniversary of her stunning Georgia wedding ceremony to Affleck, 52. She listed the date of separation as April 26 this year.
But the source told DailyMail.com that the star isn't the only one capable of playing mind games.

Jennifer, who has a reported $400million net worth, has put out four films since marrying Ben, who is worth a reported $150million
Explaining Affleck's take-the-high-road approach, the insider said: 'Jennifer said she was tired of being humiliated by Ben and she waited until the two year anniversary because she wanted to sting.
'But it did not sting him. He's been done for a long time and deep down she knows this. He let her have this so that she wouldn't look like the villain.'
DailyMail.com approached representatives for both Affleck and Lopez about the claims.
Without a prenup in place, their individual earnings from the last two years, whether it be from film projects or major brand deals, would be community property.
Jennifer, who has a reported $400million net worth, has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20million self-funded project This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which documents the couple's rekindled romance.
She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and she was set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album 'This Is Me... Now' but it was canceled weeks before kick off so she could 'focus' on family.
Oscar-winner Ben, who has a reported net worth of $150million, has recently starred in the films Air (2023) and Hypnotic (2023). He also recently wrapped production of a sequel to 2016's The Accountant.
To further complicate things, Jennifer and Ben worked on the upcoming film, Unstoppable.
While Affleck is producing the project alongside Matt Damon, Lopez is among the film's stars.
According to TMZ, Jennifer is not seeking spousal support and has asked the judge to deny it for Ben as well.

It's claimed that Jennifer's divorce filing comes amid her and Ben's unresolved battle over money.
According to insiders, the exes have been embroiled in tense settlement talks for months. At times, Jennifer and Ben have stopped speaking to one another entirely.
The couple listed their $68 million Beverly Hills marital home in May — one year after purchasing it for $60million.
After failing to sell it off market, they publicly listed the sprawling property in June.
Days after Jennifer's 55th birthday in July, Ben closed escrow on a new $20.5million bachelor pad in the Pacific Palisades.
A source recently told Us Weekly that the star's decision to purchase the abode 'was the closure of the relationship.'
Meanwhile, Jennifer is still on the hunt for a new LA home and looking for a 'fresh start,' as reported by PEOPLE.
News of Jennifer's divorce filing comes after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that documents had been 'finalized, but not yet turned in.'
The couple have not been pictured publicly together since June 2 but Jennifer was seen leaving his $100,000-per-month Brentwood rental home last week.
She was visiting him on his 52nd birthday along with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51, and children.
He was notably absent from Jennifer's lavish Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday celebration in The Hamptons in late July.
Amid the divorce speculation, both Ben and Jen were frequently spotted wearing their wedding bands in public.

Earlier this month, a source told Page Six that Jennifer was 'furious' with Ben and that she was 'humiliated' by the split.
'He's humiliated her because she made a big deal that he's the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago,' they dished.
'This is some kind of a record, they're not young kids,' the insider explained to Page Six that Lopez is also angry due to their children being involved in the split.
Lopez has formed a close bond with Affleck's three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 — and has continued to spend time with them amid the split.
Lopez has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55, who have also grown close to Ben in the last two years.
'There are five kids involved in this. She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over,' the source continued.
Jennifer and Ben's love story dates back to 2002 when they met on set of the box office bomb Gigli. 'Bennifer' quickly became a Hollywood 'It couple.'
But their whirlwind romance came to an end in early 2004, when she and the Armageddon star abruptly called off their engagement.
After 17 years apart and two failed marriages, Ben and Jennifer rekindled their romance in May 2021.
The couple then married in a Las Vegas ceremony at A Little White Wedding Chapel in July 2022.

A month later, they had a much grander wedding at Affleck´s house in Georgia, in front of friends and family.
Lopez, 55, had been married three times before. She was briefly married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998 and to Cris Judd from 2001-2003.
She and singer Marc Anthony were married for a decade, having wed in 2004, and share 14-year-old twins.
She started dating former baseball player Alex Rodriguez in 2017, but the couple called off their engagement in 2021.
Jennifer and Ben were spotted on a number of public outings together, including their very last one on June 2, after they had already decided to go their separate ways two months earlier.
At the time, they were seen greeting each other warmly, even appearing to give each other a kiss, as they attended Affleck's 12-year-old son Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica.
Lopez and Affleck also appeared to be in high spirits while leaving together even though, as it is now revealed, they had already secretly called it off on April 26.
The couple first sparked separation rumors when they had gone 47 days without being seen together.
Split speculation continued as they did not spend a number of holidays over the summer together and Lopez also walked the red carpet alone at the Met Gala in May — which was also when Lopez called off her world tour 'to be with her family.'
Since then, the pair have been spending summers on opposite coasts and did not spend their anniversary together.
In recent months, however, the pair have been spotted out together on a handful of occasions — but notably all were when Affleck's kids were present — as they had reportedly been trying to rekindle their romance.
After being noticed without their wedding rings on several outings, they also started making it apparent that they were once again wearing their tokens of commitment.
Lopez was even seen paying Affleck a special visit on his birthday at his rental property in Brentwood, California.
The shocking divorce filing comes after they were seen stepping out together — and even occasionally putting on PDA several times — in an effort to maintain that they were reconciling in spite of being incessantly hounded by rumors of marital strife.
However, the public was largely unaware that they had already separated in secrecy on April 26, which is listed as their official date of separation on Lopez's divorce filing.
In the weeks prior to their secret split, the pair had been putting on PDA during their outings in late March and being very affectionate while house hunting together in New York City.
After celebrating Easter together in Brooklyn, Affleck returned to California to film The Accountant 2.

Even during their time apart, including the 47 days after their last jaunt in New York City and Lopez's solo red carpet walk at the Met Gala in May, the actress made sure to keep flashing the diamond Affleck proposed to her with; seen on May 6
In the following weeks, Lopez spend a majority of her time in New York City, but it appears that's when the cracks started showing in their marriage as they would not be pictured together for over a month.
Just days prior to their secret split in mid-April, Lopez met up with Affleck's best friend and business partner Matt Damon and his wife.
In the following weeks, Affleck skipped out on a number of his wife's gigs in May including the premiere of her Netflix movie Atlas as well as her major role as a co-chair at the Met Gala.
After sparking speculation of turmoil in their marriage and spending 47 days apart, they seemingly started to make a show of unity and going on public outings together.
On May 16, the couple finally reunited at Affleck's second child Fin's recital in Los Angeles; and in the following days, they were seen together again at another family event, during which Affleck revealed he still had her saved in his phone as 'Jennifer Affleck' alongside a sexy contact photo.
Two weeks later, they were spotted arriving at Affleck's eldest daughter Violet's graduation party together, but there was a noticeable sense of tension.
Just the following day, they put on a rare display of PDA and were spotted holding hands while attending Violet's high school graduation.
They were also spotted, seemingly in good spirits, at Affleck's son Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica on June 2 — which was the last day they were pictured together in public.
Even though it appeared as if they had reconciled, it appears they were maintaining a pretense as they hired a realtor to put their marital home up for sale just a week later.
Around the same time, it was reported that Affleck had already moved out of their mansion, which they purchased together just a year ago after a two-year hunt for their 'dream home.'
Perhaps not for any reason besides to work out divvying up their assets, Lopez was seen paying Affleck a visit at his Brentwood rental home on June 15.
She even wished him a happy Father's Day on social media the following day, calling him a 'hero,' even though he opted to spend the holiday with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Afterwards, Lopez attempted to shake off the heartache as she ventured on a solo jaunt across Europe in late June — even recreating her very PDA-filled 2021 holiday with her estranged husband and dining at the same restaurant where they shared heated kisses.
Meanwhile, he was in Los Angeles and going on outings without his wedding ring on his finger.
In early July, it was reported that Affleck had started moving out the rest of his belongings from their shared home and they began the process of selling their artwork in the $60 million mansion.
In the following weeks, the couple spent the majority of their summer and even Fourth of July on separate coasts with Affleck in Los Angeles and Lopez in the Hamptons.
As they spent miles apart, both literally and figuratively, it was reported that their kids were working behind the scenes to try to get them back together ahead of Lopez's 55th birthday.
However, their efforts would seemingly prove futile in the end as Lopez made a bold statement by replacing her 'Ben' necklace with her own name during one of her Hamptons outings to the gym in July.
During that excursion on July 19, however, she still kept her wedding ring on, and it was reported that the pair were secretly working on reconciling their romance.
It was reported that the pair were writing love letters, ones they intended to keep private this time, as that was how their romance began initially.
However, it was then when it seemingly fell apart again when Affleck 'humiliated' Lopez on her birthday by not only skipping out on her lavish celebration in the Hamptons but also choosing that day to sign the deed to his bachelor pad.
Afterwards, sources revealed that they had finalized their divorce papers but Affleck was putting it off on filing.
Despite months of split rumors , JLo's court filing sent fans into a frenzy, sparking a wave of reactions across social media
In the following weeks, the Jenny from the Block singer continued to wear her wedding ring — even once moving it to her other hand and removing the wedding band but still wearing it— and was seemingly not giving up hope completely.
After her birthday on July 24, they had not been seen together in public for 52 days; and August 2 marked two sad months of the pair not having been pictured together.
After it was reported that the pair had stopped talking to each other on August 5, the pair seemingly tried to remedy that.
On August 12, Lopez went shopping with Affleck's son Samuel and was reportedly a surprise visitor as she went inside while dropping him off.
Three days later, she quietly visited Affleck's rental home for a brief appearance at his intimate birthday party — which also included Garner and their three kids.
However, she spent the rest of the night with her girlfriends at a Bruno Mars concert.
And less than a week later, she made their split official as she finally filed for divorce by herself, without an attorney — while Affleck was traveling back to Los Angeles with Garner after moving their daughter Violet into college.
After Ben and his ex-wife Jennifer dropped off their daughter at college, the former couple's child Fin appeared to confirm that their sibling Violet was attending Yale University, after they were spotted wearing a sweatshirt from the famous institution.
Following news that the couple had officially filed for divorce, fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts.
Posts to X, formerly known as Twitter, included: ''Filling for divorce on your wedding anniversary is crazy; It lasted longer than I thought. Is she already engaged to someone else?'
'I am wondering if she is the problem, 4 divorces + others big names breakups,' another fan tweeted, referring to Jlo's long list of A-list lovers.
Another posted, 'Maybe she should just take a little bit of time and focus on herself.'
Yet another shared, 'Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting a divorce. I bet Ben is so happy that he can now be miserable in peace, meanwhile JLo will have a new love interest by Labor Day. She cannot be a single woman for long.'
On the day that Jennifer and Ben's marriage ended, the actress was spotted leaving The Whitman, a luxury boutique condominium that overlooks Manhattan - while on a solo trip to her native NYC.

Without a prenup in place, Jennifer and Ben's individual earnings from the last two years — whether it be from film projects or major brand deals — are community property.
One major asset the estranged couple will need to agree on is a $60.85 million home in Beverly Hills, California that they purchased last year.
The former couple listed the home - which has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms - in June for $65 million, then relisted it after making recent renovations for $68 million.
The home in the tony Southern California neighborhood arrived last month of the market after further work was done on the abode, which took Lopez and Affleck two years to pick out.
The mansion spans 38,000 square-feet, and state tax law might play a part in the increased price tag, as California taxes homes sold for a minimum of $10 million with a 5.5 percent charge, TMZ reported last month.
The listing on the abode had been held by The Agency, a real estate firm owned by Bravo personality Mauricio Umansky.
Affleck moved out of the Beverly Hills home and has since plunked down $20.5 million on a mansion in the Pacific Palisades, California.
Both entertainers have worked steadily in the two years they have been wed: Affleck's projects in that timespan include the 2023 movies Air (which he also directed) and Hypnotic, according to iMDb.
Affleck also made appearances in 2023's The Flash and 2024's Jennifer Lopez in This Is Me... Now. He has finished shooting the The Accountant 2, in which he reprises the role of Christian Wolff from the 2016 motion picture.
Other acting projects he has in the works include a film called Witness for the Prosecution, which is in development; and a film titled RIP, which is in the pre-production phase.
Affleck has a number of professional endeavors he's involved in as a producer, including projects such as the aforementioned The Accountant 2 and Witness for the Prosecution. He is listed as an executive producer on a TV movie called Thirst, a sports drama titled Flash Before the Bang and a Hugh Jackman movie titled Apostle Paul.
Other projects he is listed as a producer on include a film called Keeper of the Lost Cities, which he is slated to direct and star; and the film Animals, which he is slated to direct, which stars his longtime friend Matt Damon.
Two projects clearly complicated by Tuesday's news are joint ventures he is involved in with Lopez: a musical adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman and Unstoppable, both of which she stars in.
Jennifer — who has a reported $400million net worth — has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20million self-funded project This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which documents the couple's rekindled romance.
She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and she was set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album This Is Me... Now this year but it was canceled weeks before kick off so she could 'focus' on family.
Oscar-winner Ben — who has a reported net worth of $150million — has starred in the films Air (2023) and Hypnotic (2023). He also recently wrapped production of a sequel to 2016's The Accountant.pre
To further complicate things, Jennifer and Ben worked on the upcoming film, Unstoppable. While Affleck is producing the project alongside Matt Damon, Lopez is among the film's stars.
In court docs, Lopez said she was waiving spousal support and requested the court not give Affleck any either, according to the outlet.
It's claimed that Jennifer's divorce filing comes amid her and Ben's unresolved battle over money.
Last month, The Blast reported Lopez had been 'gearing up for a messy divorce' and that she was aiming at acquiring half of the $150 million Affleck owns.
Lopez had paid many expenses during the two-year marriage, insiders told Radar Online in July, noting that Affleck had 'grumbled about spending money.'
Sources told Radar Online that amid the parting, Lopez felt that Affleck had 'mooched' off of her wealth, and was subsequently 'demanding a full inventory of what she spent versus what he spent and wants all the money back she 'invested.'
'She isn't the one who gave up on their marriage and she's feeling seriously burned and is out for blood.'
The insider noted that Lopez's pursuit of financial recompense was in direct response to Affleck's conduct amid the end of the relationship.
'If he had stayed in the marriage like a good boy, she wouldn't have minded,' the source said. 'But he abandoned her and ultimately, Jennifer always gets payback and now she's ready to play hardball.'
According to TMZ insiders, the exes have been embroiled in tense settlement talks for months. At times, Jennifer and Ben have stopped speaking to one another entirely.
The source noted to the outlet that 'one of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her' - and is itemizing the expenses she laid out amid the relationship.
Said the source, 'Ben took so much money out of her, at least that's what she's saying ... she's adding up all those private jet bills she puts on her plastic, the hotels, and meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas.
'The high cost of living was done on her dime. She paid the lion's share for that $60 million mansion they bought, too.'
According to a piece from the entertainment website Koi Moi earlier this year, the now-estranged pair had a cumulative net worth estimated at $640 million.
Lopez is mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55; while Affleck is father to children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Affleck's demeanor was cited as a reason for the split between the stars, who had famously dated two decades earlier.

While they were yet to know about their looming box office failure, Bennifer were in front of the camera once more in 2002 as they reunited to shoot the 2004 movie Jersey Girl.
The movie was where their love was cemented and the couple's romance was born.
Their name was in fact born on-set, as Jersey Girl director Kevin Smith said: 'Bennifer' is trending.
'It's a name I first gave the kids during 'Jersey Girl' pre-production, before the world found out they were dating...
'I'd later drop the name in an interview with the @nytimes. Shortly thereafter, it appeared in the article and then entered the vernacular.'

Ben popped the question to Jennifer with an eye-popping 6.1-carat pink solitaire diamond from Harry Winston during a visit to see his family in Boston - leading to a delighted surprise.
She described the proposal, saying: 'It's just a blanket, a quilt of rose petals, all over the whole entire house. So many candles, and vases, bouquets.
'And my song I'm Glad was playing... I walk in and I was just like overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting it, and I was just like 'Oh my God.''
Ben then revealed his mother Christopher Anne Boldt helped him with the proposal, after which Jennifer said: 'I just started sobbing. Crying. I was like 'Oh! My God!''
She went on: 'I had cried a lot over sadness over the years. And for the first time in my life, I cried incredible purging tears of happiness...
'It was the most cleansing feeling and the most wonderful feeling I had ever had.'
Later that month, Ben appeared in Jennifer's Jenny From The Block music video including one scene - designed to look like a stealth paparazzi video - showing the actor caressing her famous derriere.
Not content with a video cameo, Jennifer dedicated her sensual and gushing track Dear Ben from her third studio album This Is Me... Then to her husband-to-be.

Days before their highly-publicized wedding, the couple astounded fans when they announced a postponement due to increasingly feverish media attention.
Their statement read: 'Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date...
'When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate 'decoy brides' at three different locations, we realized that something was awry...
'We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised.
'We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families and our friends.'

'Thinking back, maybe deep down I knew that this was a Band-Aid on the cut.'
She married the singer that June and went on to have twins with the star in 2008. She divorced Marc in 2014.
Ben meanwhile wed actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they share three children, Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9. The couple split in 2018.

Ben made it clear that they very much remained friends, when he told The Hollywood Reporter: 'We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an e-mail saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great'...
'I remember when she got American Idol. I said, 'This was really smart. Good luck.''
'I respect her. I like her. She's put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I'm really pleased to see her successful.'

'Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter's second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.
'We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).
'So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben's closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives. They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.
'When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men's room.

'They were right when they said, 'all you need is love'. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.'

Could be more glamorous! Affleck showed off the pink bathroom he was getting ready in
Jennifer, however, had more luxurious accommodations. She wore a chic yet simple chic dress with her hair styled in waves as she got glammed up inside an elegant bathroom.
'I feel amazing, excited,' Jennifer said before doing several twirls in her dress.
The bride appeared to be wearing two different white dresses in her post - the sleeveless frock and a more traditional lace garment which flashed some cleavage. She tucked a veil into her cascading waves.
The couple collectively known as 'Bennifer' obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on Saturday and exchanged vows in a 'super small' ceremony.
Jennifer will also be taking Affleck's last name. The Clark County Recorder's Office shows the pop star will be changing her name to 'Jennifer Affleck.' The marriage certificate, however, has yet to be filed.
Marriage officiants have 10 calendar days to submit the certificate to their office for filing, according to the Clark County Clerk's Office.

The pair's happy reunion came 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call-off their wedding in fall 2003, blaming excessive media attention.
The couple was followed down the aisle after their nuptials by close friends and family, including their children from Jennifer's third husband Marc Anthony, as well as Affleck's first wife Jennifer Garner.
Garner was notable for her absence, with Affleck's brother Casey also declining to attend after saying he had prior parental commitments in Los Angeles.
