Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck on 2nd Anniversary

Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on the day that marked their second wedding anniversary. The filing, submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court on August 20, 2024, was done without legal representation, a move that has raised eyebrows given the complexities typically associated with high-profile divorces.

The couple, famously known as “Bennifer,” rekindled their romance nearly two decades after their initial breakup, marrying in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a lavish celebration in Georgia. Their reunion was hailed as a story of enduring love, making the timing of this divorce filing particularly poignant.

The filing coinciding with their anniversary has added to the surprise and speculation surrounding the split. Social media reactions have been swift, with fans expressing shock and disappointment. The lack of a prenuptial agreement has also sparked discussions about the potential financial implications for both parties, especially given their significant assets.

Lopez and Affleck first met in 2002 on the set of the film “Gigli,” and their on-screen chemistry quickly blossomed into a high-profile relationship. Although their initial engagement ended in 2004, their reunion in 2021 was seen as a second chance at love, culminating in their marriage.

In recent months, there were signs of strain, with the couple often appearing separately at public events, fueling rumors of trouble. Lopez‘s decision to cancel her “This Is Me… Now” tour earlier this year to focus on family had already sparked speculation about their relationship.

The end of “Bennifer 2.0” marks the dissolution of their marriage and closes a significant chapter in one of Hollywood’s most closely followed love stories.
