After two years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially decided to part ways. The news of their divorce was confirmed through an entry on the Los Angeles Superior Court docket, with Lopez filing for dissolution of their marriage in Los Angeles on Tuesday. This announcement coincides with the anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Riceboro, Georgia, in 2022, following their initial elopement in Las Vegas a month earlier.
Reports of the couple living separately, Lopez canceling her summer tour to spend time with family, and the sale of their Beverly Hills home preceded the breakup. This marks another chapter in the love story of two superstars that has unfolded in the public eye over decades.
Lopez and Affleck first met on the set of the film 'Gigli' over 20 years ago, where they developed a real-life friendship that eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship. Despite both marrying others and starting families in the interim, fans celebrated their reunion in 2021, affectionately known as 'Bennifer 2.0.'
The couple's engagement in November 2002, marked by a custom 6.1-carat pink diamond ring from Harry Winston, was followed by a public split in January 2004. However, their rekindled romance in 2021 led to a second engagement in April 2022, with Lopez expressing her happiness and gratitude for the second chance at love.
Throughout their relationship, Lopez and Affleck have navigated challenges, including media scrutiny and public attention. Their journey has been documented in various forms, including Lopez's documentary 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told,' which delves into her personal growth and pursuit of self-love.
Recent sightings show the couple on separate coasts, with Lopez celebrating her birthday in July without Affleck present. Lopez shares two children with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck is a father to three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
