Quick recap: Back in August, Jen filed for divorce after reuniting with Ben in 2021 and getting married the following year. As you probably know, this was their second go-round together after being in a relationship from 2002 to 2004.
Last month, reports emerged that Ben and Jen were seen “kissing” at a family brunch — but further reports suggested that it was a public show of solidarity and nothing more, as they’re still moving forward with divorce proceedings.
Now, People has new reports on how Jen has been feeling amidst all the drama — and it sounds like she’s moving forward and reflecting.
A source tells the publication that “this has been one of the hardest years for Jennifer,” and that the split itself wasn’t the easiest choice.
“She didn’t want to file for divorce,” they say. “She just felt like she had no choice. Nothing was gonna change with Ben.”
“She was very upset about it. But true to her positive outlook on life, she’s moving forward with optimism. Instead of feeling like she’s fallen flat on her face, she sees it was meant to be. She’s taking time for herself right now.”
“She knows she lives a privileged life in so many ways,” the source adds. “She’s very grateful for all the beautiful memories with Ben, but she’s now focused on creating the best future for herself and her kids.”
