Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck: What Went Wrong?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, once Hollywood’s golden couple, have officially called it quits again. After more than two decades of playing the on-and-off game, their marriage has come to an end.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The couple had tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their relationship the previous year. Unfortunately, this second chance didn’t last.

Surprisingly, Lopez and Affleck did not have a prenuptial agreement. This decision could have significant financial implications, given their combined wealth.

Lopez and Affleck’s love story is a rollercoaster. They met on the set of “Gigli” in 2002, got engaged, but split in 2004. Over the years, they both had other marriages and relationships. Lopez was married four times, including to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares two children. Affleck was married to actor Jennifer Garner and has three children with her.

In April 2022, Lopez and Affleck announced their engagement again, 20 years after the first proposal. They married in Las Vegas in July 2022, describing it as their dream wedding.

Rumors began swirling in May 2024 that the couple was on the outs. They hadn’t been seen together for weeks, and Affleck moved out of their home, which was then put up for sale.

The official separation date listed in the divorce documents is April 26, 2024. It seems their second chance at love wasn’t meant to be.

Despite their history and efforts, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to part ways once again. Hollywood will undoubtedly continue to follow their story, but for now, it’s the end of an era.

Love stories don’t always have fairy-tale endings, even for celebrities. Let’s hope they find happiness apart.
