Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez is filed.

Two years after formally giving love another try by getting married, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the power couple in Hollywood, announced their divorce on Tuesday, according to US media.

When they originally started dating in the crazy days of tabloid stardom in the early 2000s, the two were called “Bennifer.” Almost two decades later, they had rekindled their romance.

However, according to celebrity gossip website TMZ and Hollywood trade publication Variety, Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday at a Los Angeles court.

Lopez’s agent declined to provide a statement. An AFP request for comment was not immediately answered by Affleck’s spokeswoman.

For 55-year-old pop singer-turned-actress Lopez, it was her fourth marriage, and for 52-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Affleck, it was her second.

On the set of the critically criticized film “Gigli,” the two initially crossed paths in 2002.

As soon as they announced their engagement and began dating, they became well-known in the media.

However, they called off their scheduled 2003 wedding and declared their separation in the first few months of 2004.

When pictures of them together started to surface online in 2021, “Bennifer” once again set the internet on fire.

During that period, Lopez stated in an interview, “It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.”

In April 2022, Lopez and Affleck made their engagement public. The A-list couple married in July in Las Vegas.

In a grandiose ceremony held at the “Good Will Hunting” star’s 87-acre (35-hectare) mansion in the southeastern US state of Georgia the following month, they once again made it official.

Longtime Affleck friend Matt Damon and director Kevin Smith were among the celebrities present at the three-day event.

According to reports, the couple purchased a $60 million Los Angeles mansion jointly last year.

However, earlier this year, reports of marital problems surfaced on social media and in the entertainment press.

Supporters pointed out that Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday last month without her spouse, and according to TMZ, they sold their marital residence and Affleck moved into an opulent bachelor pad.

According to People magazine, their divergent views on celebrity caused their relationship to become difficult.

According to an unidentified insider cited in the magazine, “She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world.”

He is more reclusive and introverted. Every day has been challenging with this.

According to TMZ, who also stated that the couple is no longer on speaking terms, the couple’s date of separation was recorded as April 26, 2024 in the divorce documents.

Max and Emme are the twins that Lopez shares with actor Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd, and singer Marc Anthony.

Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel are the children of actor Affleck and actress Jennifer Garner.
