HE NEVER THOUGHT
The acclaimed actor later explained on "Good Morning America" that he never thought he would get divorced and that he would not like to be a divorced person.

PEOPLE reported that Jennifer had asked a private judge to deal with the final details of their divorce. Before that, their divorce was in limbo for a long time.
Jennifer and John have been dating since mid-2018 and for the most part, they have kept their relationship private.
