According to Closer Magazine, Lopez had hoped that filing for divorce would push Affleck to reconsider their relationship and try to salvage it.
However, her plan appears to have had the opposite effect, with Affleck showing no signs of trying to stop the split.
The couple was recently spotted with their children at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, a gathering allegedly initiated by Lopez.
The outing was reportedly an effort by Lopez to remind Affleck of the family bond they share, as well as what he might be losing. Despite this, sources suggest that Affleck remains unmoved and is committed to finalizing the divorce.
An insider revealed that Lopez had orchestrated the meet-up to project a sense of unity, particularly for the sake of their children, who have grown close over the years.
