Goodbye to the “Bennifers”: Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck, after only two years of marriage.
The star – as has been rumored for some time – has now filed the request with the Los Angeles court. The papers do not indicate the existence of a prenuptial agreement and, according to rumors, there is none. Jen and Ben moved to Las Vegas two years ago. Since May, rumors have been circulating about their relationship crisis, confirmed on several occasions by various sources. In fact, she showed up alone in recent months at the Met Gala and then announced her farewell to the tour, amid disappointing ticket sales but also "the need to spend time with her children, family, friends".
Jen and Ben haven't been photographed together since March, with the exception of a paparazzi-swarmed day leaving his son's basketball game in Santa Monica in early June, where they shared a demure kiss on the cheek — a far cry from the passionate kiss they shared three years ago at the Met Gala that revealed the rekindling of an old passion.
Ben and Jen met on the set of the 2003 film 'Tough Love' ('Gigli') and were first together between 2002 and 2004, almost getting married, but the wedding was called off just four days before the ceremony, unofficially due to "excessive media attention".
The reasons behind the divorce are not known. For months they have been looking for a solution and an agreement to end their story, but an agreement has never been reached.
