The real reason behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s split—find out what led to the unraveling of their fairy tale romance. 💔 The reason behind their divorce will leave you speechless.
The love boat of actress and singer Jennifer Lopez and movie star Ben Affleck crashed into everyday life for the second time. J.Lo officially filed for divorce on August 20 in a Los Angeles court. The document indicated the date of actual separation from her husband: April 26.
The couple’s story is notable for the fact that after a very stormy romance, Jennifer and Ben were already breaking up, and… the day before the scheduled wedding. But after twenty years of separation, they finally got married – on August 21, 2022. As you can see, Lopez actually guessed the date of going to court for the two-year anniversary of the marriage.
The artists met in 2001 on the set of the film “Gigli”; their friendship grew into passionate love. Fans dubbed this union “Bennifer.” The lovers got engaged; Affleck gave Lopez a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring for their engagement. But things never came to a wedding.
Later, J. Lo explained the reason for the separation rather vaguely: both “lost themselves due to pressure”, each needed to “understand themselves.”
Over time, everyone found solace: Affleck went to actress Jennifer Garner, who bore him three children, and J. Lo went to musician Marc Anthony, they had twins.
In 2021, the couple reunited again, and the following summer they played a luxurious wedding at Affleck’s mansion in Georgia.
“I feel so happy, I’m proud to be with him.” “This is a wonderful love story in which we got a second chance,” said the singer.
The artist’s team released a documentary about J.Lo’s work and her relationship with Affleck called “The Greatest Love Story.” In the film, the actor said that over the years he learned to make compromises.
Fans of the stars savored every detail of this beautiful story; it seemed that Jennifer and Ben refuted the thesis “you can’t step into the same river twice.” But… Alarm bells began to ring. Ben appeared next to his wife in public with a face like he had chewed a whole lemon. At the Grammy ceremony, the couple openly argued without even noticing the cameras aimed at her.
The second similar episode happened at the premiere of the film “Mother”, and then a random eyewitness filmed a showdown between Lopez and Affleck in the car at a traffic light: Ben was gesticulating aggressively, his wife was answering him something angrily.
According to the Daily Mail, the singer was annoyed by her husband’s bad character.
“That’s enough for Jenny, she really tried, but she can’t fix anything anymore, it’s only getting worse,” said sources surrounded by the artists. To distract herself, Lopez began spending more time with her children and making plans for the next year, in particular, planning a tour in support of the album This Is Me… Now.
But the couple’s fans hoped until the last: talk of an impending divorce was just rumors. They didn’t want to believe that the couple had separated not so long ago. As a refutation, they cited photographs of Ben Affleck’s daughter, who appeared in public in a designer dress that she borrowed from her stepmother.
However, at the end of July, Lopez celebrated her birthday by throwing a party in the style of the series “Bridgertons,” at which her husband was not present.
It seems that Ben is more to blame for the divorce. He didn’t like that his wife was much more popular, he often became depressed and drank to the bottle. But Jennifer herself is not a gift; they say she has an explosive temper.
The singer is 54 years old, the actor is 51. Now they have to rebuild their personal lives.
