Jennifer Lopez waited for a strategic reason to end her marriage to Ben Affleck.

According to a Hollywood insider, “The timing of the divorce was a deliberate slap in the face to Ben.” This comes after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, following months of speculation surrounding the status of their union.

Court documents filed in a Los Angeles court revealed that the former couple’s actual date of separation was April 26 — three months before their second wedding anniversary. However, Lopez waited until the two-year anniversary of their actual wedding celebration to move forward with the filing.

For months, reports have continued to surface about the former couple’s marriage being on the rocks. But Lopez’s divorce filing puts an official end to the speculation.

It was confirmed in May that Affleck had moved out of their shared Beverly Hills home together.
