Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were engaged 20 years ago, but then the wedding fell through. They finally got married two years ago – but now they’re separating. Lopez is getting a divorce.
US singer Jennifer Lopez (55) is divorcing actor Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. According to consistent media reports, Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday (local time) at the court in Los Angeles. She has given April 26 as the date of the separation, as “Variety” and “TMZ.com” reported, citing the documents.
Exactly two years ago, on August 20, 2022, the couple held a large wedding celebration on an estate in the US state of Georgia. The previous July, they made it official in the casino city of Las Vegas in the US state of Nevada. There, they officially exchanged vows in a small wedding chapel.
They were a couple over 20 years ago, but it didn’t last long. The “Bennifer” romance lasted 18 months until their first engagement was broken off in January 2004.
Lopez was married three times before her marriage to Affleck; she has twins from her marriage to singer Marc Anthony. Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018; they have three children.
