Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck
Big news in Hollywood! Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their notable relationship that spanned over two decades. The paperwork was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and it comes exactly two years after they tied the knot in Georgia.
Affleck, 55, and Lopez, 52, reported their separation date as April 26, according to filings. Speculation about their relationship began a few months back when the couple started showing up to events separately, causing fans to wonder what was going on.
Lopez and Affleck had a whirlwind romance that included two engagements and two weddings in 2022. They first met while filming the movie “Gigli” back in 2002, and their relationship quickly became a media sensation, earning them the tabloid nickname “Bennifer”.
After a brief split in 2004, where they cited intense media pressure as a factor, Lopez moved on and married Marc Anthony, while Affleck later wed Jennifer Garner. Both had children from their previous relationships, with Lopez having twins and Affleck sharing three kids with Garner.
When Lopez called off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez in 2021, rumors began swirling that she was reconnecting with Affleck. Their rekindled romance was celebrated with public appearances and affectionate moments together, leading to their surprise wedding in Las Vegas in July 2022.
They continued to flaunt their love with a bigger wedding in Georgia later that summer. But with the recent news, fans are left wondering what went wrong for the couple that seemed so in love just last year. JLo has since expressed that she needs time to focus on her family and was heartbroken about letting her fans down by canceling her planned tour.
This beautiful love story turned complicated reminds us that sometimes, even in the spotlight, relationships can face tough challenges. For now, both stars are focusing on their separate paths.
