Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, known as “Bennifer,” faced intense media scrutiny over their marriage, which culminated in their divorce finalized in January 2025. Rumors of trouble began in May 2024 when they hadn’t been photographed together for 47 days, fueling speculation of a split. Reports confirmed they were living apart, with Affleck staying in a Brentwood rental while filming The Accountant 2, and Lopez residing in their $60 million Beverly Hills home, which they quietly listed for sale. Sources cited their differing lifestyles—Lopez’s openness versus Affleck’s preference for privacy—as a key issue, exacerbated by financial disagreements and the flop of Lopez’s album This Is Me… Now. Despite public appearances together, like supporting their children at events, tensions persisted. Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, the anniversary of their Georgia wedding, listing April 26 as their separation date. Affleck later told GQ there was “no scandal” behind the split, emphasizing its complexity. Both are now legally single, focusing on their families and careers.
