Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the Hollywood stars who reignited their love and tied the knot two decades after a public breakup, are reportedly heading for divorce, according to TMZ and other media sources. Lopez, known for her hit 'Love Don't Cost a Thing', filed for divorce at the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, as reported by TMZ. This move comes exactly two years after the couple's extravagant wedding ceremony in Georgia, which followed their initial nuptials at a Las Vegas chapel in July 2022. Representatives for Lopez and Affleck have yet to comment on the matter.
In the early 2000s, the duo known as 'Bennifer' were the talk of the town, with their relationship featuring lavish gifts like matching luxury cars and a significant 6.1-carat pink diamond engagement ring. They famously canceled their wedding in 2003 and separated shortly thereafter. Lopez quickly moved on, marrying Latin singer Marc Anthony, her third spouse, just five months after her split from Affleck. Meanwhile, Affleck, who directed and starred in the Oscar-winning film 'Argo', married actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he later divorced.
The couple rekindled their romance in 2021, shortly after Lopez ended her engagement with baseball player Alex Rodriguez and their four-year relationship. Reflecting on their initial separation, Lopez described it as the most devastating heartbreak of her life, stating in an Apple Music interview in November 2022, 'I honestly felt like I was going to die. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending.'
