Jennifer Lopez seems ready to move forward after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck.
A source close to the Atlas actress, 55, tells PEOPLE she is “doing as well as she can” nearly one week after she filed for divorce on Aug. 20, which marked the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding celebration.
“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,” says the source. “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.”
And “after filing for divorce, she seems relieved,” the source adds.
“Her family and friends agree that it was the right decision,” says the source. “She’s surrounded by a lot of love and support. She’ll be fine. She’s strong and always comes out on top.”
