Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are divorcing after a two-year marriage marked by public highs.
Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday, the same day they got married in Riceboro, Georgia, in 2022. They had previously eloped in Las Vegas a month earlier.
The split follows reports that they have been living apart, Lopez canceled her summer tour to be with her family, and they sold their Beverly Hills home.
CNN has asked for comments from their representatives.
Their divorce is another chapter in their high-profile relationship, which has been in the public eye for years. They first met over 20 years ago while filming the comedy “Gigli,” where they began as friends and later became a couple.
Bennifer Reunites(Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ): A Love Story Renewed After Breakup and Past Marriages
Over the years, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck both married other people and had families.
But fans were excited when they reunited in 2021, calling it “Bennifer 2.0.” Affleck shared in December 2021 that he valued how their relationship was handled and felt it reflected who he truly is—someone who tries hard to be honest and authentic.
The couple first got engaged in November 2002 with a custom pink diamond ring. Affleck even appeared in Lopez’s music video for “Jenny from the Block,” which featured their relationship and paparazzi attention.
Just before their wedding in September 2003, they postponed the ceremony due to media frenzy and eventually split in January 2004.

Their reunion seemed like a fairytale when they went public on Instagram in July 2021, shortly after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. Lopez told People magazine how lucky and happy she felt to be with Affleck again, describing their renewed relationship as a beautiful love story and a second chance.
In 2024, Jennifer Lopez released a documentary called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” The film focused on her album “This Is Me… Now” and her journey to self-love.
In the documentary, Ben Affleck mentioned that he learned to “compromise” with Lopez about how much they share about their private lives.
Recently, Lopez and Affleck have been seen on opposite coasts. Lopez celebrated her birthday at the end of July with a Bridgerton-themed party, but Affleck wasn’t there.
Lopez has two children with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
