If you’ve been keeping up with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, you might feel a sense of closure now that their story has reached its inevitable end.
Earlier this week, JLo officially ended her marriage to Affleck, marking exactly two years since their Las Vegas wedding.
Throughout 2024, tabloids have been filled with updates on their rocky marriage, with few positive reports.
Over the past few months, numerous clues hinted at the end of one of Hollywood’s most high-profile relationships, like pieces of a puzzle gradually coming together.
On August 20, Lopez, 55, filed for divorce without legal representation, choosing a date that coincided with their two-year anniversary.
A source told PEOPLE, “She was done waiting, and the timing of her decision says a lot.” Another insider close to Lopez shared, “She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken. The kids remain her top priority, as they always have been.”
Affleck and Lopez’s love story began two decades ago, making them one of the most talked-about couples of the early 2000s.
Though they were once engaged, they called off their wedding and went their separate ways. They rekindled their romance in 2021, got engaged in 2022, and married later that year. Sadly, their relationship didn’t have the happy ending many had hoped for.
