Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Announce Divorce

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ending their marriage just over two years after their high-profile reunion. Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The couple’s official separation date is recorded as April 26.

Rekindled Romance Turns Sour

The pair, who reignited their romance in 2021, originally married in a quick Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. They followed up with a larger celebration in Georgia on August 20, 2022—marking exactly two years from their initial marriage.

Previous Relationships and Professional Collaborations

Lopez and Affleck first gained media attention as “Bennifer” in the early 2000s, with their relationship widely covered. They starred together in the films "Gigli" (2003) and "Jersey Girl" (2004), before breaking off their engagement. Both went on to marry and divorce others—Lopez with Marc Anthony and Affleck with Jennifer Garner—before reuniting publicly around three years ago.

Recent Projects and Public Appearances

During their second relationship, Lopez and Affleck appeared together in various projects and public events. Lopez’s recent album, “This Is Me … Now,” and its accompanying film, which featured Affleck in a cameo, reflected their renewed romance. They also made joint appearances to promote their respective projects and attended events like the Golden Globes.
