Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce drama refuses to die down. The actor couple has been in the middle of a high-profile divorce since August. While they have been together in public since, reports have claimed that the divorce is definitely on. Now, a new report in People Magazine claims that Jennifer did not want to file for divorce but felt cornered.

JLo didn't want to file for divorce?

A report in People Magazine quotes a source close to the actor-singer saying that this has been one of the 'toughest years' in her life. "She didn't want to file for divorce. She just felt like she had no choice. Nothing was gonna change with Ben," the report quotes the source as saying. The source adds that Jennifer was upset about it but has decided to move on with the situation. "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," the source added.

Jennifer filed for divorce on August 20, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple has been married for a little over two years. The source says that the actor is now focused on improving her children's lives. "She knows she lives a privileged life in so many ways. 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."
