Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were declared officially divorced and single. The divorce took effect on February 21, after California’s mandatory six-month waiting period since Lopez filed their divorce settlement on January 6. This was Ben and Jen’s second stint as a couple. In the early 2000s, they met, fell in love, got engaged and starred together in the infamous ‘Gigli’ and ‘Jersey Girl’ in 2004. They split up that same year, blaming in part the pressure of the public eye. The couple, rekindled their romance nearly two decades and tied the knot in July 2022. After a hush-hush chapel wedding, the two wed again in a lavish wedding at their multi-million dollar mansion. Amidst rumours of marrital strain and Ben’s growing friendship with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, with the filing stating that they had separated more than a year earlier. On Sunday, the singer also celebrated her children, Max and Emme’s birthdays. The singer marked the twins’ 17th birthday by posting a reel of their photos and videos over the years. \”Seventeen. I love you beyond forever,\” she captioned the post that featured Miley Cyrus’ upbeat soundtrack ‘Edge of Midnight’
