- Jennifer Lopez initiates the divorce process against Ben Affleck.
Hollywood superstar Jennifer Lopez, aged 55, has initiated divorce proceedings against actor Ben Affleck after two years of wedded bliss. As per media outlets like "Variety" and "TMZ.com", Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday (local time) at a court in Los Angeles, listing April 26 as the effective date of separation.
The duo tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at a Georgia estate in the United States on August 20, 2022. They officially became husband and wife in the gambling hub of Las Vegas, Nevada, in July of the same year, at a small chapel.
The pair had a history dating back over two decades, but their relationship didn't stand the test of time. Their "Bennifer" romance fizzled out after 18 months, with their initial engagement ending in January 2004.
Prior to wedding Affleck, Lopez had been married three times before and shares twins with singer Marc Anthony. Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with her.
Despite the emotional reunion and multiple wedding ceremonies, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's union is now heading towards divorce and separation, as confirmed by court filings. This marks another significant change in their relationship timeline, which has been marked by both union and separation in the past.
