It’s Official: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Split

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, one of Hollywood's most iconic couples, have officially decided to end their marriage. On Tuesday, August 20, Lopez filed for divorce in the Los Angeles Superior Court, coinciding with the second anniversary of their wedding in Riceboro, Georgia, which took place in 2022. That wedding marked the culmination of a rekindled romance after the couple first married in an impromptu ceremony in Las Vegas.

The news of their separation comes after months of speculation and rumors about the state of their relationship. Previous reports indicated that the couple had been living separately and that Lopez had canceled her summer tour to spend more time with her family. Additionally, the couple recently sold their luxurious Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million, a clear sign that things were amiss.

The divorce marks the end of a relationship that has been closely followed by the media and fans since Lopez and Affleck first met over two decades ago on the set of the comedy "Gigli." Although both married other people over the years, their romance reignited in 2021, much to the delight of their followers. However, despite their efforts, the relationship couldn't withstand the pressures and demands of public life.

The split has been surrounded by controversy, especially after Affleck did not attend Lopez’s lavish 55th birthday party in July, fueling rumors that the couple had already ended their relationship.

Moreover, it has been reported that Affleck has grown closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children and who has been a constant support for him over the years.

As this love story comes to an end, both actors appear ready to move forward on separate paths, leaving behind a relationship that, despite its ups and downs, will always be remembered as one of Hollywood’s most publicized romances.
