Following two years of a widely reported reunion and a turbulent 22-year past, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, lovingly referred to as “Bennifer,” have formally called it quits on their union. Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, citing their separation date of April 26, 2024, according to PEOPLE magazine.
A Chronology of Love and Grief

The Story of Bennifer
Their romance started in 2002 while they were filming “Gigli,” and it resulted in a well-publicized engagement. But in 2004, they canceled the wedding due to considerable media attention.
They both later got married and had kids. Emme and Max are the twins that Lopez had with Marc Anthony. After Affleck wed Jennifer Garner, the couple had three kids: Samuel, Seraphina, and Violet.
They unexpectedly got back in touch in 2021, reigniting their romance and making their love known to the world. Fans had optimism for a happily ever after when this resulted in a second engagement and their 2022 marriage.
Obstacles and Resolution
But the marriage appeared to have difficulties within the last year. Information about different living arrangements and their sparse public appearances suggested deeper problems. In the end, Lopez decided to end the Bennifer chapter permanently by filing for divorce.
In summary
