Jennifer Lopez is reportedly feeling "relieved" after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, even though she didn’t want to end their two-year marriage.

“It’s been incredibly difficult for her that Ben chose to pull away from their marriage and move on with his life, leaving her behind,” a source told People Monday.

“She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up. It’s been almost torture for her to wait around.”

According to the insider, the “On the Floor” singer “seems relieved” since filing the divorce papers in Los Angeles last week.

“Her family and friends agree that it was the right decision,” the source continued, noting that J.Lo is “surrounded by a lot of love and support” and will “be fine” because “she’s strong and always comes out on top.”

Lopez, 55, hasn’t been seen publicly since officially ending things with Affleck, 52, on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.

The singer filed for divorce on her own without a lawyer, listing their separation date as April 26.

Affleck, meanwhile, has been spotted around Los Angeles, looking upbeat while picking up his Jack in the Box order from a delivery driver at his Brentwood, Calif., rental home on Saturday.

That same day, a source informed Page Six that the “Argo” star has been spending time with Kick Kennedy.

We’re told Affleck and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 36-year-old daughter were seen hanging out at the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge and other LA hotspots.

Affleck also appeared in good spirits while dining with close friend Matt Damon and the “Bourne Ultimatum” star’s wife, Luciana, at Italian restaurant Toscana on Sunday, according to photos obtained by TMZ.
