    The Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck love story has come to an end.

    Jennifer filed legal divorce documents on Tuesday, August 20, in a Los Angeles County Superior Court . The two rekindled their love in July 2021 after they dated from 2002 and split in 2004. Ben and Jennifer then got married a year later in 2022 in a Las Vegas wedding ceremony before they celebrated in Georgia with family and friends.

    While Gigli stars were separated for 17 years, the two married other people and had children . Jennifer shares twins, Emme and Max, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony and Ben shares three children, Samuel, 12, Seraphina, 15, and Violet, 18, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

    The two have always made it clear that their kids were their main focus and come first. The two blended their families effortlessly and even bought a $60 million home in Beverly Hills with 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. Both Ben and Jennifer would be seen spending time with the kids together at amusement parks, shopping malls and vacations.

Before the divorce filling, a source said that Jennifer did not "fully accept it was over" after they blended their five kids.

    Jennifer grew a close bond with Ben's three children. Violet was spotted wearing the pink dress that Jennifer wore on a Valentine's Day date with Ben in 2023. She was also seen hanging out with the singers the twins. While Jennifer was spending the summer in the Hamptons, she was also spotted with Violet.

Now singer spent time with Ben and his son Samuel in Ben's rented home.

    Perhaps they both wanted to relive something from the past. Both thought they have changed and could change the other. That didn’t happen. JLo was hanging in there hoping he would change his mind even using his children for her ultimate goal. It didn’t work. It’s over and would likely have been sooner or later anyway. Sooner is better for everyone so everyone including the five children can move on with their lives.
