It was meant to be a romantic tale with a joyful conclusion. The journey of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began with an engagement in the early 2000s but was cut short just months before the wedding due to the intense scrutiny of entertainment media. It seemed like fate was against them. Following their split, Lopez began a new chapter with Marc Anthony, while Affleck found love with Jennifer Garner.
Fast forward nearly 20 years, both Affleck and Lopez found themselves single once again and rekindled their connection. This romantic revival led to a second engagement and ultimately their marriage in summer 2022. However, as 2024 began, rumors began to circulate about their relationship troubles. Before they knew it, their marriage appeared to be over even before it truly began, and a lengthy divorce process unfolded throughout 2024, concluding in January 2025.
The divorce was prolonged mainly due to their substantial incomes and significant assets, both jointly owned and personal. One major issue was their mansion, which they purchased together in May 2023 for a staggering $60.8 million.
