Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck’s Divorce: Judge’s Ties To Both Parties Fuel Public Interest

by

As someone who’s been following the rollercoaster ride of celebrity relationships for as long as I can remember my remote control, this latest twist in the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck saga has me more intrigued than ever! The fact that their divorce is being overseen by a judge with connections to not one but two of the stars involved, makes it feel like a small Hollywood town where everyone seems to know each other.

The sensational news about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce has been captivating headlines, but a fresh detail has sparked even greater curiosity among fans. As reported by TMZ, the judge handling their high-profile separation case has past connections with both celebrities as well as one of their former partners.

55-year-old Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on August 20, marking exactly two years since their Georgia wedding. After many months of rumors about problems in their relationship, known as Bennifer, during the second year of their rekindled romance, she decided to take action. The case is currently being handled by Judge Bradley S. Phillips at the Los Angeles Superior Court.

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share some intriguing news: It appears that there have been past associations between me and both Alex Rodriguez, ex-fiancé of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, according to a recent report on August 28th. This link is established through my son-in-law, Strand Conover, who is a partner at the renowned Hollywood agency WME. It’s been reported that Conover has collaborated with both the Academy Award winner and the former MLB player. However, speculations about potential conflicts of interest for the presiding judge have arisen, but I promptly dismissed such doubts.

In the documents examined by TMZ, the judge stated that his association with both parties won’t influence “his capacity to remain objective and impartial.” Furthermore, he clarified that he has never discussed and has no intention of discussing the divorce case with his son-in-law.

In their divorce papers submitted alongside the actor-director, Lopez chose to forgo alimony and asked the court not to provide it to Affleck either. It’s said that they didn’t have a premarital agreement at the time of their marriage.

Let’s take a look at Jennifer Lopez’s romantic history: She started getting connected with Alex Rodriguez as early as 2017, they got engaged in 2019, but split up in 2021. Interestingly, J-Lo found herself back in the arms of Ben Affleck only a few months after their breakup, and the two ended up getting married to each other twice in the year that followed.

Since filing for divorce from Affleck, Lopez has asked the court to restore her maiden name.
