Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Split: What Led to Their Breakup?


Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially called it quits after two years of marriage. The Hollywood couple, known for their whirlwind romance and two weddings in 2022, is now headed for divorce. Affleck, 52, moved out of their shared home in May, and according to reports, he’s focused solely on work and his children.

Lopez, who filed for divorce on August 20, marking their second wedding anniversary, had listed April 26 as the couple’s date of separation. The pair had sparked rumors of trouble when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala alone and extended her stay in New York, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles busy with filming projects. Despite this, both continued to wear their wedding rings, giving fans hope of a reconciliation. However, the divorce filing confirmed their split.

The division of their assets remains uncertain, though their $68 million Beverly Hills home is currently up for sale. Affleck has since purchased a $20 million bachelor pad in Brentwood to be near his children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.

Despite their personal differences, Affleck and Lopez remain connected professionally. He is producing two of her upcoming films, Unstoppable and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Recently, the pair reunited briefly with their children, including Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, showing that they remain dedicated to co-parenting and supporting their families.

Lopez has opened up about adjusting to single life, expressing that while it’s tough for a romantic like her, she’s discovering her strength in being on her own.
