Jennifer Lopez was “horrified” and considered it a “real slap in the face” when she came back from a European vacation to discover that her husband Ben Affleck had moved all of his belongings out of their marital home, OK! Magazine reported.
“Jen was horrified when she came back and found out Ben had packed everything up while she was gone,” a source told the magazine for a July 13 report, adding that Lopez considered Affleck’s approach to be “very cold, like a military operation.”
“As far as she’s concerned, a real slap in the face,” the source told OK!. In contrast, the source told OK! that Lopez doesn’t want to “waste her time” doing “an inventory of their belongings.”
TMZ reported in early June that Lopez and Affleck were trying to sell their marital home and are living apart, after he moved into a rental property in Brentwood, California. At that time, TMZ reported that the couple’s divorce was imminent. As of July 16, they had not taken official action to divorce, although they also have done little publicly to quell speculation that they plan to do so.
Lopez and Affleck have not confirmed that they plan to divorce, either, despite spending summer vacations apart, with Lopez most recently posting Instagram photos showing herself alone in the Hamptons. Then, on June 28, People Magazine reported that Affleck had emptied the house of his belongings while Lopez was on a whirlwind vacation to Europe.
