Time is a flat circle: Bennifer has broken up again. Per TMZ , Jennifer Lopez filed to divorce Ben Affleck on August 20, which marks the two-year anniversary of the wedding ceremony the pair had in Georgia after eloping in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. News of the formal split was later confirmed by People and Variety .
JLo’s filing does not mention a prenup, and sources told TMZ that there was not one for this marriage. Lopez reportedly filed the documents in the Los Angeles County Superior Court by herself, without an attorney, and listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024. Although she and Affleck have been sporadically photographed wearing their wedding rings over the past few months, the public was not fooled by the rocks that they got.
As the speculation predicted, Bennifer was in fact headed toward another split, their second after previously dating from 2002 until 2004. In February 2022, five months before she would tie the knot with Affleck, Lopez told People that Bennifer was different this time. “We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,” she said.
Oh, dear. We hope the workers in her heart factory are holding up okay..
