Jennifer Lopez is being honest about her split from Ben Affleck. She says they had “irreconcilable differences,” which means they couldn’t work out their problems.

J.Lo, 55, filed for divorce from Ben, 52, on August 20. That date was special because it was exactly two years since their wedding in Georgia.

According to the Daily Mail, Jennifer chose that date on purpose.

An insider said she was tired of being embarrassed by Ben and wanted the divorce to hurt him by filing on their anniversary.
