Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly each navigating the end of their relationship in different ways after Lopez filed for divorce last month.
A source recently told People that the This Is Me... Now musician is managing to have a "positive outlook" despite having "some bitterness" about the end of her marriage, saying "she still feels very fortunate" but that "she tried so hard to make things work and it didn't matter to Ben."
"She's surrounded by family, friends and her kids," the source said. "She always manages to have a positive outlook. The divorce is difficult for her, but she always finds a way to move forward."
As of Affleck, another source told the outlet that the Academy Award winner is "doing well" and "slowly moving into his new home." The Air director and the "On the Floor" singer listed their $68 million marital mansion for sale earlier this summer.
"He's where he wants to be: close to kids and in a neighborhood that he loves," the source said. "He enjoys working too, and is very focused on the positives."
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, though she listed the date of their separation as April 26 as well as stated the reason behind the split. Though she is reportedly feeling "relieved" by the move, she is still "upset" with the outcome.
