Ben Affleck responds to speculation about his new romance.
Ben Affleck is at the center of swirling romance rumors, coming on the heels of Jennifer Lopez’s recent divorce filing.
A detailed look at the tumultuous history of Bennifer.
To fully grasp the extent of Affleck and Lopez’s split, it’s essential to revisit their tumultuous history.
Affleck and Lopez, famously dubbed “Bennifer,” first crossed paths in 2002 while working together on the unsuccessful film Gigli.
The couple quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about duos, getting engaged by November 2002.
However, their relationship fell apart under intense media scrutiny, leading them to call off their wedding just days before the scheduled ceremony in September 2003.
By January 2004, the couple had officially ended their relationship.
Fast forward to April 2021, fans were stunned when Affleck and Lopez reconnected following Lopez’s split from baseball legend Alex Rodriguez.
Their reunion initially met with skepticism, but the couple seemed stronger than ever, ultimately culminating in their wedding in 2022.
Bennifer’s commitment laid bare.
The couple frequently expressed their renewed commitment to each other, with Lopez even legally taking Affleck’s last name, despite her global recognition as J.Lo.
“We’re husband and wife. I’m proud of that,” Lopez shared in an interview with Vogue in December 2022.
Her engagement ring—a green diamond with the inscription “not.going.anywhere” inside—symbolized their enduring bond.
However, cracks in their relationship began to surface earlier this year.
J.Lo and Ben stun fans with the announcement of their split.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, shocked fans with their split announcement on August 20.
Sources close to the couple disclosed that Lopez had put in considerable effort to salvage the marriage, but ultimately, it proved impossible to make it work.
However, as soon as the divorce news broke, speculation about Affleck’s future romantic prospects started to circulate.
