Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have made the difficult decision to end their marriage after two years. The couple officially filed for divorce on August 20, with the date of separation listed as April 26. This news comes after months of speculation about the state of their relationship, as they had not been seen together in public for 47 days.
The lack of photographs of the couple together had fueled rumors of trouble in their marriage. However, sources close to the couple revealed that they had been working on their issues while spending time apart. Ultimately, they have chosen to part ways.
Ben and Jen tied the knot in July 2022, but their relationship had a rocky history. In a recent interview, Jennifer opened up about their first relationship in the early 2000s. The couple had been engaged and even planned a grand wedding with 14 ushers and bridesmaids. However, just three days before the wedding, they called it off.
The immense pressure and scrutiny surrounding their high-profile relationship took a toll on them. Jennifer admitted that losing Ben felt like losing her best friend. However, she believes that their past heartbreak led them to self-discovery and personal growth.
Fast forward almost two decades later, and Jennifer and Ben found their way back to each other in 2021. They got engaged again and finally got married in 2022. Ben proposed with a ring engraved with the words “Not. Going. Anywhere.” Jennifer shared that this phrase was how Ben used to sign their emails, and it symbolized their commitment to each other.
Their love story is a testament to second chances and enduring love. Jennifer expressed her belief that she and Ben are meant to be together and that they are in it for the long haul.
