Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck File for Divorce After Two Years of Marriage

In a development that has been anticipated for months, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, are officially calling it quits. The duo, who tied the knot just two years ago, are now headed for divorce. Lopez initiated the proceedings by filing for divorce last Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, marking a significant moment in their storied relationship.

According to official records, the couple has been separated since April 26 of this year. Lopez and Affleck's relationship has always been a subject of intense media scrutiny. The two first crossed paths during the filming of the 2002 movie Gigli. Their relationship quickly became the talk of Hollywood, with fans and tabloids dubbing them "Bennifer," a nickname that symbolized their status as a power couple.

The couple became engaged in 2003, but their engagement was called off the following year. After years of leading separate lives, news of a rekindled romance between the two surfaced in April 2021. The couple eventually got married on July 16, 2022, exactly 17 years after their initial engagement. Following the wedding, Lopez shared her joy on her website, writing, "I got married. Love is beautiful. Love is generous. After 20 years, our love came to fruition."

Throughout their marriage, Lopez and Affleck were frequently seen together at various high-profile events, the last of which was the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year. Despite their public appearances, rumors of trouble in paradise began to circulate soon after. Although Lopez consistently denied these rumors, their absence from public life fueled speculation.

Lopez's decision to cancel her summer concerts only added to the intrigue. While she cited a desire to spend more time with her family as the reason for the cancellations, many speculated that complications in her relationship with Affleck played a role. The singer and actress, who was previously married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, has two children from that marriage. Her union with Affleck marked her fourth marriage.

Ben Affleck, for his part, was married to actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 before divorcing in 2018. He and Garner share three children together.

As the couple now embarks on the process of dissolving their marriage, the world watches with bated breath to see what lies ahead for both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. While their love story has captivated fans for decades, it appears that this chapter is coming to a close.
