Jennifer Lopez revealed real reason she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck just weeks before their film released
The two may be in for a very awkward encounter sooner than you think
Jennifer Lopez disclosed the real reason behind her divorce from Ben Affleck, as the two could be due to meet one another in the coming days.
It was revealed that Lopez had filed for a divorce from Affleck on August 21, on the same day of the couple's one year wedding anniversary...ouch!
But fans are now waiting anxiously for the the release of Unstoppable, a movie produced by Ben starring his ex-wife Jennifer, that was shot when the pair were still married.
After a break-up, particularly a high-profile one, the last thing you want to do is add fuel to the fire by meeting up with your ex and causing even more of a stir.

But this might actually happen for Affleck and Lopez sooner than they thought, as Unstoppable is set to premiere on 6 September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Will the two make an appearance, followed by a particularly awkward encounter?
That's the question on everyone's lips.
In a surprising update, the reasoning behind J Lo's decision to end her marriage to Gone Girl actor Ben has been revealed.
As per further court documents obtained by Page Six, 55-year-old Jen cited 'irreconcilable differences' when asked to give a reason for her request.
A commonly used reason for marriage terminations - especially in the often-private celebrity realm - Girlings Solicitors describes 'irreconcilable differences' as 'disagreements between people, especially two married people that cannot be resolved'.
This isn't the first time that 'Bennifer' fans have been forced to come to terms with their pair's decision to split.
Jennifer and Ben were first romantically linked in the early noughties, having met on the set of Gigli back in 2001.
By 2004, however, they'd parted ways, citing the mass media 'scrutiny' that their relationship suffered as the reason.
In 2022, however, after almost two decades apart, they rekindled their romance and tied the knot (twice!), leading fans to believe they'd found their happy ending.
Sadly, though, it wasn't long before cracks started showing in their newly-reunited romance.
Rumours of a split started spiralling when the mother-of-two was seen holidaying separately from her hubby, and opted not to wear her wedding ring on 4th of July weekend, which she also spent alone.
And back in June, fans noticed that Affleck wasn't in attendance for the premiere of his wife's Netflix movie Atlas in Mexico - where she sensationally responded directly to divorce rumours when asked by a reporter.
"You know better than that," she warned at the time.
