Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Reportedly Set to Divorce After Two Years of Marriage
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly ending their two-year marriage, according to a filing noted on the Los Angeles Superior Court docket. Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Tuesday, which happens to be the anniversary of their 2022 wedding in Georgia. This event took place after the couple first eloped in Las Vegas a month earlier.
The news of their separation follows reports that the couple had been living apart, Lopez canceled her summer tour to spend more time with her family, and they put their Beverly Hills home up for sale. Representatives for Lopez and Affleck have not yet commented.
Their relationship has long been in the public eye, beginning over 20 years ago when they first met on the set of the comedy film “Gigli.” Their on-screen partnership blossomed into a real-life romance. Despite both marrying other people and starting families in the years that followed, they rekindled their relationship in 2021, much to the delight of fans of the original “Bennifer.”
Affleck expressed in a 2021 interview with The Wall Street Journal how much he valued the way his life had evolved, focusing on honesty, authenticity, and accountability. He and Lopez initially got engaged in 2002, with Affleck presenting Lopez with a custom pink diamond ring. They became media sensations, especially after Affleck appeared in Lopez’s music video for “Jenny from the Block,” which depicted the paparazzi’s fascination with their relationship. However, they postponed their wedding in 2003 due to intense media scrutiny and officially ended their relationship in January 2004.
Their reunion in 2021 seemed like a fairytale, with Lopez publicly expressing her happiness about being with Affleck again. They got engaged for the second time in April 2022.
Lopez released a documentary titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” in 2024, chronicling the making of her album “This Is Me… Now” and her personal journey towards self-love over the years. In the film, Affleck shared that he had learned to compromise with Lopez regarding her desire to be open about their private lives.
Recently, Lopez and Affleck have been seen leading separate lives, with Lopez celebrating her birthday at a Bridgerton-themed party in July, where Affleck was notably absent. Lopez has two children with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
