Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck File for Divorce After Two Years of Marriage

Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are parting ways after two years of marriage.

On Tuesday, Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, marking the end of their much-publicized relationship.

From Rekindled Love to Divorce

Lopez and Affleck first met on the set of the 2003 film Gigli, where their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship.

They became engaged in 2002, but the intense media scrutiny surrounding their relationship led them to call off their wedding in 2003. Eventually they officially split in early 2004.

However, in 2021, the couple found their way back to each other, much to the delight of their fans. Lopez even expressed her joy at getting a second chance at love: “It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.”

The couple made their relationship Instagram official in July 2021 and later got engaged again in April 2022. Then, in July 2022, they eloped to Las Vegas, followed by a larger wedding ceremony a month later in Georgia.

The Final Split

Despite their fairytale reunion, Lopez and Affleck’s marriage faced difficulties. In recent months, there were rumors of tension between the two. Reports indicated that they were living separately, and Lopez even canceled her summer tour to spend more time with her family.

Their Beverly Hills mansion was also put up for sale, fueling further speculation about the state of their relationship.

The couple was also spotted without their wedding rings on multiple occasions, adding to the whispers of trouble. On the same day as their second wedding anniversary, Lopez officially filed for divorce. The court documents revealed that the couple would need to share financial information and work towards a settlement.

A Long History of Love and Loss

Lopez has been married four times, including to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins. Affleck, on the other hand, was married to actress Jennifer Garner, and the two share three children.

Both stars have experienced highly publicized relationships, but their reunion was seen as a testament to the power of love and second chances.

Although the couple’s marriage has ended, their relationship will continue to be a point of fascination for the public.

The court has mandated that both Lopez and Affleck disclose their financial details as they move forward with the divorce. Lopez, who had legally changed her last name to Affleck, did not list any prenuptial agreement details in her petition. The divorce process may take time as both stars navigate the next steps.

As their love story comes to a close, it marks yet another chapter in the long and storied lives of two of Hollywood’s biggest stars. While their romance captivated the world for decades, Lopez and Affleck will now face the challenges of moving on from their highly publicized relationship.
