Jennifer 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 two years ago
Lopez also explicitly addressed the relationship in her most recent album, “This Is Me … Now,” a sequel to her 2002 album “This Is Me … Then,” which also discussed her then-relationship with Affleck. Affleck appeared in Lopez’s “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” a celebrity cameo-studded 65-minute fantasia centered on music from the new album. in February, the film features Affleck in prosthetic make-up playing a wizened but jaded anchorman.
During their second relationship and marriage, Affleck and Lopez made regular appearances on the promotional circuit for each others’ projects, walking the carpets for “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” “The Mother,” “Air,” “The Last Duel” and “Marry Me” together. The pair attended the Golden Globes earlier this year.
In May, Lopez canceled her summer “This is Me Now Tour” with a statement that read, “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
