The emotional impact of the divorce and the consequences on his reputation have hit him deeply“, said the person close to the actor.

Understand the reasons behind divorce

The marriage between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez came to an end on August 20, when JLo filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, after four months of separation. Sources close to the couple, heard by People, point to the distance, Affleck's mood swings and personality differences as the main reasons for the breakup.

Lopez, who is more sociable, would have faced difficulties in reconciling her life with that of Affleck, who prefers a more reserved routine. Despite his efforts to save the marriage, the actor showed no interest in maintaining the relationship. Physical distance and busy schedules also complicated the relationship.
