Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Break Up, File for Divorce After 2 Years

As a seasoned observer of celebrity relationships, having witnessed the rise and fall of countless love stories, I must say that the rekindling romance between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is nothing short of captivating. Their journey, filled with twists and turns, mirrors the plot of one of Ben’s blockbuster films – a rollercoaster ride of emotions that keeps us all on the edge of our seats.


Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have had enough. 

Two years following their wedding in Georgia, the artist known for “Waiting for Tonight” and the leading man from “Air” have decided to end their relationship. Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court on August 20th, as reported by TMZ.

She listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024. 

TopMob News has reached out to their reps for comment but has not heard back.

Initial whispers about their relationship status began circulating in May, following the solitary appearance of the Hustlers star at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City, where she served as co-chair. However, it was reported that Ben was occupied with filming The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles, according to his representative’s statement to TopMob News at the time.

Initially spotted together in Los Angeles, several sources claimed that the couple were residing separately due to issues within their relationship. By the month of July, Ben had already bought a spacious five-bedroom property in L.A., while J.Lo successfully sold her NYC penthouse for an impressive $23 million.

Despite staying cryptic about breakup speculations, as she told a reporter “You know better than that” during a panel in May, J.Lo and Ben have fueled more suspicion by not acknowledging their Vegas wedding anniversary on July 16. Remarkably, they even spent the day apart, residing on different coasts.

If you paid attention to their relationship, you would recall that the pair revived their romance in 2021, which was about two decades after ending their initial engagement. A source close to the “I’m Real” singer shared with TopMob News in Spring, stating, “Their bond feels organic, and their chemistry is incredible. They resumed their relationship from where they left off and are relishing each other’s company.”

Moving on to the next year, the Grammy nominee, who has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with former husband Marc Anthony, as well as being the Justice League star and father to Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12) from his marriage with Jennifer Garner, tied the knot in a sudden ceremony in Las Vegas.

In her July 2022 newsletter, Jennifer expressed that the sentiment, ‘All you need is love,’ was indeed accurate, describing their heartfelt ceremony. We are immensely thankful for the abundance of love in our lives, expanding our family to five wonderful children, and finding ourselves more eager than ever to embrace the future ahead.

She noted, “If you stay persistently, there’s a chance you could discover the most remarkable instant of your life – driving through in Las Vegas at midnight, precisely 12:30, in the ‘Tunnel of Love’ drive-thru, sharing this moment with your children and the one who will be by your side forever.”

However, this wasn’t the conclusion of their romantic tale. Instead, they chose to renew their vows under the gaze of many loved ones in an elaborate wedding in Georgia during August.

For the Atlas star, it was appropriate to celebrate their union not just once, but multiple times, given the separate voyages they undertook in order to reach this point together.

20 years ago when we called off our wedding, it was the most devastating moment of my life that I can recall,” the artist shared with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in September 2022. “At that time, I truly believed I wouldn’t survive.”

She mentioned that the initial separation set her on a continuous journey for the subsequent 18 years, to which she then added, “However, 20 years down the line, it concludes with a joyful resolution. It unfolds an ending so unconventional and unlikely in the realm of Hollywood.”

However, Jennifer wasn’t the only one who got loud about their rekindled love.

During his appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2023, Ben expressed, “She’s the most stunning lady I’ve ever seen. Her dedication and discipline are truly remarkable, but beyond that, she possesses an almost supernatural ability.”

However, it’s important to note that they didn’t always see eye-to-eye. In fact, Ben aired their contrasting views on privacy during Jennifer Lopez’s 2024 documentary titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told“.

Upon reuniting, he mentioned, “Let me tell you something, one aspect I aim to avoid in our relationship is one that exists only on social media,” he expressed. “Initially, I felt it wasn’t fair to ask for this, but it’s like saying you’re marrying a boat captain and complaining about the sea. We are simply two individuals with distinct methods, trying to find common ground through compromise.”

To put it simply, bringing her vision to life with me as its muse wasn’t a walk in the park. It took more than just words; it required dedication, patience, and a shared understanding that went beyond mere conversation.

As a dedicated follower of my craft as both writer and director, I’ve consistently adhered to similar practices. However, I’ve always held my personal matters close, considering them sacred and unique due to their privacy. Therefore, exposing these aspects was indeed a challenge for me in the documentary.

However, he made it known he was on board and happy to support.

He mentioned that he felt apprehensive about being part of a documentary detailing his personal life, but now it appears that he may be in it, yet not as prominently. Relieved, he added, “It seems I was needlessly worried. The movie wasn’t centered on me; instead, it focused on the challenging journey of self-love, a tale more elusive than finding Prince Charming.”
