Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Call It Quits AGAIN; Singer Files For Divorce On Second Wedding Anniversary

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I have seen my fair share of celebrity relationships rise and fall, but the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck calling it quits once again is particularly disheartening.


Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to end their marriage for a second time, as confirmed by TMZ on August 20. JLo filed divorce papers from Affleck, her Argo co-star, in the Los Angeles County Superior Court herself. She set April 26, 2024, as the date of separation and is representing herself in the proceedings. Interestingly, this day also marks exactly two years since their traditional wedding ceremony.

The duo had no prenuptial agreement, sources told the aforementioned publication.

According to a source, she put in tremendous effort to keep things going and is deeply saddened about the end of Lopez’s relationship with Affleck, as reported by People. Lopez and Affleck’s love story, which started back in 2001 but was postponed multiple times, made a comeback in 2021, more than 17 years since their initial wedding plans in September 2003 were put on hold. Unfortunately, they ended their engagement in January 2004.

Reports about the resurgence of Lopez and Affleck’s relationship surfaced in April 2021, following the singer’s separation from MLB player Alex Rodriguez. Later in July, they confirmed their romance on Instagram, and reappeared as a love-struck pair at the 2021 Venice Film Festival red carpet event.

In April 2022, sources reported their engagement, and they secretly got married in Las Vegas on July 16. A bigger wedding ceremony was held later in August on Affleck’s estate in Georgia, where they exchanged vows for a second time.

Jennifer Lopez, both a singer and an actress, has twin kids Max and Emme, aged 16, from her marriage to Marc Anthony which lasted from 2004 to 2014. Ben Affleck, on the other hand, was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2019, and together they have three children: Violet (18 years old), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12).

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I can confidently say that, just as it has always been, the well-being of the children remains my utmost concern, as expressed in recent discussions following the filing of my divorce.

Whispers about strife in Lopez and Affleck’s relationship started circulating around May, when the actress attended the Met Gala in New York City by herself and chose to stay on longer throughout the summer. While Affleck spent most of his summer in Los Angeles, the couple didn’t reunite for Independence Day, their second wedding anniversary in July, or Lopez’s birthday in the same month.

In August, Lopez went back to Los Angeles. Back then, someone close to her shared that they hadn’t met Ben for months. However, it was revealed that she paid him a visit on his birthday, which was August 15, at his temporary home in Brentwood, California. Interestingly, their mansion in Beverly Hills is still on the market with an asking price of $68 million.
