LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's recent official divorce filing has set the Internet abuzz, with countless users on X (formerly known as Twitter) sharing humorous reactions.
This announcement follows months of online speculation, as fans have been eagerly debating the status of the couple's marriage.
Previously, Meaww reported how the couple pretended to be together for several months after secretly ending their relationship earlier this year.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's second rekindled marriage is over
Before their headline-making reunion in 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first crossed paths in 2002 while filming the romcom 'Gigli'. Affleck proposed to JLo, but the couple ended their engagement in 2004.
Both moved on to marry others, have children, and eventually divorce. But in May 2021, just a month after Lopez split from Alex Rodriguez, she and Affleck rekindled their romance.
The couple quickly became inseparable, attending numerous events and red carpet functions together. In November 2021, Lopez brought her twins, Max and Emme, to Los Angeles to spend Thanksgiving with Affleck, marking their first holiday as a reunited couple.
Their engagement was announced in April 2022 through a teaser video on Lopez's On The JLo newsletter, and they obtained a marriage license in Clark County on July 16, 2022. They celebrated their marriage with a lavish weekend wedding at Affleck's estate in Georgia.
Over their two years of marriage, the couple continued to shine in their own ways, attending family events and achieving success with new movies and music.
However, on April 26, 2024, rumors of a breakup began to circulate. Affleck was spotted leaving his Brentwood, California home, and despite public appearances together, it became clear that their relationship was in trouble.
On July 24, Affleck moved out and purchased a $20.5 million home in Los Angeles. Finally, on August 20, 2024, Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, exactly two years after their Georgia wedding.
