Jennifer Lopez Files For Divorce
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20th, 2024, two years after their traditional wedding ceremony. Their official marriage date was July 16th in Las Vegas, but they celebrated with a big wedding with friends and family in Georgia in August. The 55-year-old filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. She filed for divorce herself without using a lawyer and is technically self-represented.
“She tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken,” a source told People. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been,” they noted. Jennifer Lopez recently canceled her world tour, citing wanting to spend more time with family as the reason behind the cancellation.
Not The First Break Up From Bennifer
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck famously dated in 2022, even going as far as to get engaged and plan a September 2003 wedding. The wedding never came to fruition, though, and the couple broke up for the first time in January 2004.
The two went on to date other people—Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and Jennifer Lopez got engaged to Alex Rodriguez in 2019. When Affleck and Lopez were finally single at the same time in 2021, they didn't skip a beat in getting back together and taking it all the way. Unfortunately, the Bennifer comeback era is over.
