Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce From Ben Affleck

As a long-time admirer of Jennifer Lopez, it is always fascinating to witness the twists and turns of her illustrious career and personal life. Her journey has been nothing short of remarkable, filled with resilience, determination, and an unwavering spirit that continues to inspire millions around the world.


Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ending their marriage after less than three years, with Lopez filing for divorce on August 20th in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to EbMaster’s confirmation. The couple’s official separation date is marked as April 26.

55-year-old Lopez and 52-year-old Affleck got married in Las Vegas last July, reviving a romance that started over two decades ago, which was often referred to as “Bennifer” by the media and was a popular topic during their coverage in the early 2000s. Their relationship from back then has been reignited.

Reflecting back on August 20, 2022, I found myself once more bearing witness to a grand nuptial affair in the heart of picturesque Georgia. Two souls, who had already embarked on their shared journey two years prior, chose to renew their vows in this beautiful setting.

In 2003 and 2004, Lopez and Affleck appeared together in two films: “Gigli,” a romantic caper widely criticized by Martin Brest, and “Jersey Girl,” a comedy directed by Kevin Smith. By the time “Jersey Girl” was released in theaters, Lopez and Affleck had ended their engagement and were no longer together.

In the time that passed, both entered into marriages and divorces – Lopez with Marc Anthony, Affleck with Jennifer Garner. Approximately three years ago, they rekindled their public relationship. Lopez has been regularly sharing updates about her engagement and subsequent marriage on her social media and newsletter platforms with her followers.

Lopez has once again opened up about their past relationship in her latest album titled “This Is Me … Now,” which follows her 2002 album “This Is Me … Then.” In this new album, she also discusses her previous relationship with Affleck. Affleck made a special appearance in Lopez’s film “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” a 65-minute fantasy filled with celebrity cameos that is centered around music from the new album. This movie was released on Prime Video in February and features Affleck wearing prosthetic makeup, portraying an older but disillusioned news anchor.

In their second go-round as a couple and spouses, Affleck and Lopez frequently showed up on promotional tours for one another’s ventures. They strolled red carpets hand in hand for “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” “The Mother,” “Air,” “The Last Duel” and “Marry Me.” This year, they also attended the Golden Globes together.

Jennifer Lopez postponed her “This Is Me… Now” summer tour in May, explaining that she needed some time to spend with her kids, family, and close friends.
