Jennifer Lopez was "relieved" after she filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Ben Affleck.
Lopez filed for divorce on Aug. 20, two years to the day after the pop star celebrated her marriage to Affleck in a Georgia wedding ceremony.
"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 magazine. "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."
"After filing for divorce, she seems relieved," the insider added.
Lopez's family and friends agree filing for divorce was the "right decision," the source claimed. "She's surrounded by a lot of love and support. She'll be fine. She's strong and always comes out on top."
Representatives for Lopez and Affleck did not respond to Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.
Lopez listed April 26 as the date of separation for the couple and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to the court filing obtained by Fox News Digital. The "Love Don't Cost A Thing" singer chose to file without an attorney.

Rumors surrounding the couple's marriage have plagued the Hollywood heavyweights for months.
"He started moving out a while ago," a source previously told Fox News Digital. "The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken. She loves love and wanted this to work so badly."
