Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have announced their divorce after two years of marriage. Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, marking the end of their relationship, which had lasted around 3½ years.
The couple first made headlines in the early 2000s, with their relationship turning into a high-profile saga. They initially split in 2004 after canceling their wedding due to overwhelming media attention. Both went on to marry other people and have children, but they reunited in 2021, capturing public interest once again.
Their second relationship, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, was seen as a hopeful distraction for many fans. They married in a small ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger celebration in August. However, despite their efforts to keep the romance alive, rumors of trouble surfaced over time.
Lopez released a new album earlier this year that included a documentary about her and Affleck’s relationship. In the documentary, Affleck expressed discomfort with the public scrutiny, acknowledging the challenges of being in a relationship with such high visibility. Lopez, on the other hand, was open about using their relationship as inspiration for her music.
As tensions grew, the couple began appearing separately at events, and reports of their living apart surfaced. Lopez’s album did not perform well, and her summer tour was canceled. Now, with the couple’s divorce filed, the latest chapter in their relationship has come to a close, leaving fans to reflect on the once-great romance.
