Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second wedding anniversary on August 20. The date of separation was mentioned as April 26, 2024 in the files.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022. They had a second wedding at Affleck's Georgia home on August 20, 2022.
JLo and Affleck first got engaged in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Both of them married other people and had kids with them before they got back together in 2021.
This was Jennifer's fourth marriage and Ben's second. Affleck has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Lopez has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Fans have been speculating that Affleck was 'miserable and unhappy' in the relationship after rumours about his dislike for music gala events, which Lopez loved. He had stated that he was learning to “compromise” with singer's camera-friendly lifestyle.
