The highly publicized rekindled romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has officially ended as Lopez filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony. The relationship that was once filled with hope and second chances seems to have reached a breaking point.
Ben Affleck’s Engraving Decision
When Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez for the second time in April 2022, he had a heartfelt message engraved on her green diamond engagement ring.
The engraving read, “Not going anywhere,” signifying Affleck’s commitment to her, a phrase he had used to sign off his emails when they reconnected.
Ironically, despite this promise, Lopez has now filed for divorce, signaling the end of their journey together.
Lopez chose the anniversary of their second wedding ceremony as the date to file for divorce, seen as a statement to stand up for herself and take control of her life. A recent shopping trip in West Hollywood dressed in a glamorous black dress was viewed as a way to reclaim her dignity amidst the split.
Rumors of trouble in their marriage had been circulating for months. In May, sources hinted at relationship issues, and their decision to put their $60 million marital home on the market seemed to confirm the speculation.
By summer, the couple was living on opposite coasts, indicating that their second chance at love was not working out. Lopez officially listed their separation date as April 26, 2024.
Ben Affleck’s Lack of Interest in Marriage
Sources disclosed that Lopez felt “humiliated” and “frustrated” that their reconciliation didn’t work out, particularly after publicly declaring Affleck as the love of her life.
Insiders mentioned that Affleck displayed minimal interest in saving the marriage, delaying the divorce filing solely to prevent further embarrassment for Lopez.
Despite her disappointment, Lopez has come to understand the importance of prioritizing her own well-being as Affleck has shown no dedication to making their relationship succeed.
