Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are putting an end to their second act. The "Let's Get Loud" singer and Gone Girl actor are officially ending their relationship after two years of marriage , with Jennifer filing for divorce on Aug. 20, according to multiple outlets .
And if that date sounds familiar, it's because Aug. 20 is a very special day for Ben and J.Lo as it's the anniversary of their lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia in 2022 .
Jennifer, 55, and Ben, 52, had previously tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022 after rekindling their early aughts relationship in September 2021 . "They were right when they said, 'All you need is love,'" Jennifer wrote in her July 2022 newsletter detailing the ceremony . "We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to.
" The Georgia wedding took place a month later and saw their families—including Jen's 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony , and Ben's children with ex Jennifer Garner , Violet , 18, Seraphina , 15, and Samuel , 12—come together on the actor's estate. An insider told E! News at the time that the weekend-long affair was planned by interior designer and event planner Colin Cowie , with lifestyle guru Jay Shetty presiding over the actual ceremony. But sadly it didn't last.
In court docs obtained by TMZ , Jennifer listed their date of separation as April 26, just before split rumors first started to emerge when the Selena star flew solo as co-chair for the 2024 Met Gala in New York City . At the time, Ben's reps confirmed to E! News that he wasn't present at the event because he was busy filming The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles . And while the duo have been spotted together multiple times since April 26, they further raised eyebrows when it was revealed they were living apart and had put their Beverly Hills estate up for sale .
