Amy Robach says George Stephanopoulos predicted Affleck and Lopez’s divorce the day after their wedding

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: George Stephanopoulos is the new Nostradamus. Hollywood power couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently broke up but the ABC News journalist rightfully foresaw their fate a couple of years back. 

Former 'Good Morning America' co-anchors TJ Holmes and Amy Robach claimed that the 63-year-old TV personality prophesied Affleck and Lopez's divorce the day after their wedding in 2022.

What did Amy Robach say about George Stephanopoulos' foretelling?

Amy Robach and TJ Holmes remembered how they were on the set of 'GMA' with Stephanopoulos, 63, the day after Ben Affleck, 52, and Jennifer Lopez, 55, tied the knot in Wednesday's episode of their podcast, "Amy & T.J." It was unclear to them whether it was following the ex-couple's August 2022 wedding in Georgia or their July 2022 wedding in Las Vegas.

“You came in and you were like, ‘This is such a great story. 17 years in the making,’” Robach, 51, said to Holmes, 47, adding that, at the time, they thought of Lopez and Affleck’s relationship as a “fairytale," reported the New York Post.

“We were excited, like genuinely happy for the two of them,” Robach shared. “George Stephanopoulos, however, rolled his eyes and said, ‘I give it six months,’ or something to that effect.” “I mean, it was probably the correct way to look at it,” Robach added.

TJ Holmes didn’t agree with George Stephanopoulos’ cynicism

TJ Holmes disagreed with George Stephanopoulos' assessment of Affleck and Lopez's romance, though. “We talk about everybody loves a love story, but then we have a very difficult time being happy for people who are in love,” he said. “That turns us off to see somebody else so happy.”

“And then we get so invested and almost there’s glee in someone else’s demise and that pain,” Holmes continued. “Somebody who said, ‘I’ll give it six months,’ might be [saying now], ‘I told you.’ We can sit back and say, ‘Ha ha.’ I hate that mindset.”

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck exactly 2 years after their Georgia wedding

It was precisely two years to the day after their Georgia wedding when Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

It was not long before the rumors of their breakup began to circulate, when Lopez went to the Met Gala by herself, that she set their formal date of separation as April 26, 2024. The pop star decided to file for divorce since Affleck showed no desire to work on their marriage, People reported.

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, the couple's problems started during their honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy. “They would barely speak to each other during what was supposed to be the happiest time of their life,” the insider said. “He sold her on him being a changed man, and that lasted a very short time.”

TJ Holmes texted Amy Robach about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's breakup

TJ Holmes claimed on their podcast episode that he texted Amy Robach just after three in the morning with the news about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. “I messaged you, ‘Good morning. I am so sad. First thing on my phone is about J. Lo filing for divorce,’” he said.

The Bennifer divorce was described as "heartbreaking" by Holmes and Robach, who were dismissed from 'GMA' in January 2023 due to their covert affair.

“It just sucks, man,” said Holmes. “This was it. This was one I could look at and go, ‘You know what, the timing wasn’t right … and then finally, the time is right, and this is it, and this is gonna work.’"

“Damn, I was rooting for them,” he added.

Internet unfazed by George Stephanopoulos' accurate prediction about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's divorce

Netizens didn't seem to care about George Stephanopoulos' prediction as many claim to have anticipated the same thing.

One X user tweeted, "That’s like predicting that the sun will rise in the morning and then being like, 'look, I was right.'" Another added, "Who didn't predict a divorce? I mean, really."

"Nobody cares. They're all trash. But I'd still let Jlo eat me out. There's a little more trash for you," remarked one, while someone else wrote, "Big deal everyone predicted it, everyone knew how it would end except for the two of them."
