Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck: reports

( KTLA ) — A second chance at a happy ending has proven not to be in the cards for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

The actress and singer filed for divorce from the actor/director on Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to reports by Variety and TMZ . The day also marked the two-year anniversary of the couple’s Georgia wedding ceremony.

Court documents indicate that the two have been separated since April, TMZ reports.

It’s the second failed fairytale ending for the high-profile Hollywood stars.

The two were together for several years in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of the much-maligned film “Gigli.” Their whirlwind romance grabbed tabloid headlines and garnered the iconic portmanteau nickname of “Bennifer.”

The two were engaged during their first go, but ultimately stopped short of the aisle and called it quits in 2004.

After separating, Lopez married Latin music superstar Marc Anthony and Affleck tied the knot with another co-star named Jennifer— “Elektra” star Jennifer Garner.

Lopez and Affleck rekindled their love affair in 2021 after the “Jenny From the Block” singer called off her engagement to baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

The couple again made international headlines once news of their renewed romance came out. Lopez found creative inspiration in the rekindled romance, as it was the subject of her 2024 album “This Is Me… Now” and the narrative-driven musical film, “This is Me.. Now: A Love Story.” Lopez also participated in a documentary film about the making of these projects and how her relationship with Affleck has informed her artistry and life — for which Affleck appeared on camera.

In the documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” Lopez recounts the depression she went into after the first breakup from Affleck and how it led to the way her romantic life would play out for the next decade.

But recent months have led to speculation that the two had parted ways once again, with TMZ reporting the stars had stopped speaking to each other altogether. One of the couple’s last public appearances was a May 30 outing for Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation, according to People .

TMZ reports Lopez waived spousal support and requested the judge do the same for her soon-to-be ex-husband. Lopez and the “Argo” director have children from previous marriages but not with each other, meaning custody battles won’t play a role in the split.

The split will mark the fourth divorce for Lopez and the second for Affleck.
