Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are divorcing after just over two years of marriage. Lopez filed on Tuesday, August 20, in L.A. County Superior Court, Variety confirms. The official separation date is listed as April 26.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, married in Las Vegas in July 2022 after re-sparking their relationship from two decades prior, which was dubbed “Bennifer” by tabloid publications at the time and was a fixation of their coverage in the early 2000s.
The two tied the knot again in a large ceremony in Georgia on August 20, 2022 — exactly two years ago.
Lopez and Affleck made two films together: Martin Brest’s largely reviled romantic caper “Gigli” in 2003 and Kevin Smith’s comedy “Jersey Girl” in 2004.
By the time the latter feature hit theaters, Lopez and Affleck had called off their engagement and gone their separate ways.
