Recently, Jennifer Lopez was seen in New York City on the official date of her separation from Ben Affleck. Despite the difficult circumstances, the “Jenny From the Block” singer maintained a serious expression as she left an apartment building in the Big Apple on April 26. Lopez, 55, was dressed in a beige sweater, oversized jeans, and platform shoes, accessorized with gold hoops, sunglasses, and a Hermès Birkin bag. Despite the breakup, she was still wearing her massive 8.5-carat green diamond ring and opted for a makeup-free look with her hair slicked back in a bun.
On the other hand, Ben Affleck was photographed almost a week later on May 2 while taking his 12-year-old son, Samuel, to school in Los Angeles. The “Gone Girl” star appeared subdued wearing a gray-and-white sweater, jeans, and Nike sneakers. The news of J.Lo filing for divorce from Affleck on the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Georgia was confirmed by Page Six. The estranged couple reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement, and J.Lo requested spousal support to be waived for both her and Affleck.
Despite concerns about how the divorce would affect their children, insiders revealed that both J.Lo and Affleck’s kids are prepared to move forward. Affleck shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, while Lopez is the mother of twins Max and Emme, 16, from her previous marriage with Marc Anthony. The split rumors intensified in May when Affleck did not accompany Lopez to the Met Gala, followed by him removing his wedding ring and leaving their marital home in Beverly Hills.
Following the breakup, both Lopez and Affleck attempted to maintain a united front by attending various events together, including their children’s school plays and graduation parties. However, their interaction seemed strained as they avoided kissing on the lips at public gatherings. Despite efforts to appear together, Lopez and Affleck spent much of June and July apart, with Lopez traveling to Italy and the Hamptons while Affleck remained in LA. Their absence from each other’s important celebrations further fueled speculation about their relationship status.
This breakup marks another twist in the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. The A-list couple, who were previously engaged in 2004, reunited in 2021 and eloped a year later in Las Vegas. However, sources have indicated that Affleck has had a change of heart regarding their marriage, referring to it as a “fever dream.” Despite the public appearances and efforts to appear together, it seems that the couple’s relationship has reached its end.
