Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the Hollywood stars who famously reunite after two decades and tied the knot, have filed for divorce, as reported by TMZ on Tuesday. Lopez, known for hits like “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” filed the divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The filing occurred exactly two years after their grand wedding celebration in Georgia, following an initial low-key ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022. The former power couple, often referred to as “Bennifer,” ended their high-profile relationship in the early 2000s, leaving fans stunned.
Lopez then married Marc Anthony, while Affleck went on to wed and later divorce Jennifer Garner. After rekindling their romance in 2021, Lopez and Affleck decided to give their love another chance following Lopez’s split from Alex Rodriguez.
In a recent interview, Lopez admitted that her breakup with Affleck two decades ago was her most significant heartbreak. Yet, she expressed gratitude that after 20 years, their story does have a happy ending. Spokespeople for Lopez and Affleck have not commented on the divorce news at this time.
