Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s highly publicized second marriage appears to be coming to an end. Just months after their glamorous wedding, Lopez has filed for divorce, signaling the breakdown of their renewed relationship.
Despite their fairy tale romance—reigniting their love after 20 years, getting married in a small Las Vegas ceremony, and later holding a grand celebration—signs of trouble began to emerge. Jennifer was seen attending the Met Gala solo, while Ben was busy filming his latest project in Los Angeles, marking the first public indication of their growing distance.
Jennifer had previously shared the emotional inspiration behind her album This Is Me… Now, which reflected the joy of rekindling her love with Ben. However, their relationship seemed to have encountered the same pressures that led to their initial split in the early 2000s. Despite their efforts to work together on shared projects, such as the film about wrestler Anthony Robles, the couple’s personal life could not weather the challenges.
Both Jennifer and Ben have been dedicated to their roles as parents, Jennifer raising her twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Ben co-parents his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Still, the pressure of balancing careers, family life, and a public relationship seemed to take a toll.
