After around two years of marriage, singer Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck on Tuesday. Their 20-year romance, marked by ups and downs, is lengthy enough to evoke nostalgia among those who grew up with the pop cultural superstars during their initial romantic encounters.
In recently filed court paperwork, Jennifer Lopez stated that she and Ben Affleck parted ways due to irreconcilable differences.
On August 20, the singer of “Marry Me” filed for divorce. She is 55 years old. At the time, the singer and Affleck, both over 50, appeared to be celebrating the second anniversary of their marriage in Georgia.
The Daily Mail claims that the musician made that decision on purpose.
Insider reveals: Jennifer shared this with her parents. She grew weary of Ben’s mocking remarks towards her. She waited until the second anniversary for his jests to cause significant pain.
However, the source said, “It didn’t hurt him.” She knows that he hasn’t been with her for very long. So she wouldn’t appear to be the villain, he allowed her to have this.
Divorce timing coincides with the anniversary of their 2022 wedding ceremony
According to another insider who spoke with Us Weekly, “Ben was very upset about the timing of the divorce.”
Moreover, Lopez asked that Affleck not receive spousal assistance from the court. She also waived her claim to it. The date of separation was named as April 26, 2024. The court documents on Thursday included her plea to have her last name “Affleck” removed.
TMZ sources claim that the split pair lacked a prenuptial agreement.
On the day of the split, Lopez was in New York City getting ready to co-host the 2024 Met Gala. She walked the red carpet alone when she attended the yearly fashion event on May 6. The absence of the Oscar winner led to swift rumors.
Later, Affleck would relocate to a rental house from their $60 million marital estate. Since then, the “Argo” actor has bought a $20.5 million house and listed the joint venture property for sale.
Furthermore, Lopez did not celebrate her 55th birthday or second wedding anniversary with Affleck in July. On his 52nd birthday last week, she was seen at his rental house. Later, at the musician’s performance, she danced to Bruno Mars during the song “Marry Me,” without him being present.
Reconciled in 2021 and split in 2024
After meeting in 2002, the couple called it quits on their initial engagement in 2004. They rekindled their romance twenty years later. In July, they got married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. On August 20, 2022, they had a second, glorious wedding at Affleck’s house in Riceboro, Georgia.
“We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,” Lopez told People about their second shot at love. “It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other. We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions.”
Page Six claims that during Bennifer’s honeymoon in Italy, their relationship started to fall apart.
