Love stories as high-profile as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s tend to come with their fair share of plot twists, and this one seems to have run its course—for now.
From their early-2000s whirlwind romance to their glamorous Vegas nuptials and lavish Georgia celebration, “Bennifer” has kept fans hooked for decades.
But it looks like the couple has hit a definitive pause, with J.Lo officially filing for divorce in August after reports of trouble began surfacing earlier this year.
The initial spark reignited in 2021, rekindling what many thought was a once-in-a-lifetime connection. They tied the knot in 2022, delighting fans with star-studded wedding photos that felt straight out of a Hollywood rom-com.
However, by spring 2023, whispers of private struggles emerged, hinting at cracks in their seemingly perfect love story. By June, the writing was on the wall when the pair quietly listed their marital home for sale.
Fast-forward a few months, and Ben has reportedly moved into a new L.A. residence, while Jennifer has shifted her focus to finding a fresh start for herself and her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
A source close to the star shared with “People” that J.Lo has been actively house-hunting, wanting a new home for her and her kids—a symbolic move toward a clean slate.
Amid the upheaval, Jennifer is reportedly in good spirits, despite what has been a challenging year. She’s gearing up for the holidays and ready to embrace 2024 with fresh energy, leaving fans speculating if a “new year, new me” post is on the horizon.
One thing’s for sure: Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a comeback, and she’s bound to bring that signature J.Lo glow into her next chapter.
As for who’s next for Bennifer 2.0? Only time will tell, but one thing’s certain—whether it’s red carpets or real estate, J.Lo knows how to keep us watching.
