her pool is shrinking much faster than his unless she starts dating very young men. the problem is, she is in her mid fifties and still looking for the big true love story. ben worked perfectly for that because they had their past.

A narcissist isn’t looking for true love. They look for ego boosters. Neither of these people know what true love it.

She should have stuck with ARod. That was her most mature relationship.

They had sexual heat but no actual substance. In both cases, after two years the sex haze started wearing off and he was done.

This marks the 2nd anniversary of the huge, and more traditional, wedding ceremony they held in Georgia. So, it hardly seems like a coincidence Jen filed today.

Now here's the real shocker -- J Lo does not say in her docs whether there's a prenup, and sources with knowledge tell TMZ there is indeed no prenuptial agreement.

How is this shocking and to whom? You’re being overly dramatic again.

I would feel awful for her if she hadn't been such a controlling narcissistic braggart about her "true love." If she had gone to ground and quietly focused on strengthening her marriage and respected her partner's desire for privacy. But she commodified their relationship, so I don't feel bad for her at all. Even if I think he should have left her alone to begin with.

Agree. No self-respecting guy can handle being a PR prop in JLo's show for very long. That is not a marriage. She knew how he felt about it and simply didn't care. He tried (hello Amazon special cringe-fest), but there didn't seem to be any compromise on her end. The man is a recovering addict and needs some peace.

The infantilization of this grown ass man is wild.

I think the point is it appears that he made an effort to compromise and she didn't. The publicity she insisted on was relentless.

+1. Sad for both of them. It would have been nice for them to have someone to grow old with. Really wonder if there was one big thing that did it for him or just he totally misjudged his own willingness to put up with the J Lo publicity circus.

I think in another 10-15 years he will find a woman in her 30 or early 40s who is something like a make up artist who doesn’t want kids and he will settle down with her to nurse him through until his liver or whatever gives out. (Lots of older male stars end up with this.).

Glad he at least got a house near the kids — he’s only got another 4-5 years of being a dad and then he’ll be even more unmoored.

The lack of a prenup is interesting. I am SUPER curious about what their marital income has been the past two years — it’s possible it was a net negative with that documentary flop. I just don’t have any sense how much they each get in residuals for all their prior stuff. Their expenses must be insane with all the travel and the weddings and the houses and the staff and the designer clothes. Is there any chance that stuff will get filed publicly????

More details.


She's very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn't given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage," says the insider.

"She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken," adds the source. "The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”

I never thought they’d last, but still shocked the relationship imploded so quickly. I gave them 4-5 years, figuring they’d at least want to save face and avoid all of the I-told-you-so’s.

They were in love with the ideas of each other, not true love.

I agree. She even stopped her tour. I’m sure she is devastated over this. Her documentary came out earlier this year about their love. I know this one is super embarrassing.

They had been long separated by then.

Yes, but JLO hoped they would get back together.
