Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their highly publicized relationship that began over two decades ago.
The filing, made in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 20, 2024, coincides with the couple’s second wedding anniversary.
Lopez cited their separation date as April 26, 2024, and did not mention a prenuptial agreement in her petition.
The couple, affectionately dubbed “Bennifer,” first became engaged in 2002 but split in 2004 amid intense media scrutiny.
They rekindled their romance in 2021, marrying twice in 2022—first in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony and later in a more formal celebration in Georgia.
Despite their seemingly fairy-tale reunion, recent months saw them appearing separately at public events, fueling speculation about their relationship’s stability.
Lopez has openly discussed the challenges of navigating high-profile relationships, admitting that public scrutiny has affected her self-esteem.
Both she and Affleck have been previously married, with Lopez having three ex-husbands and Affleck sharing three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The couple’s split has left fans reflecting on their tumultuous but captivating love story
