In her divorce documents, Jennifer Lopez declared that she and Ben Affleck separated on April 26, 2024. Gossip about the marriage began shortly after Lopez stepped out for the 2024 Met Gala alone.
From there, the couple seemingly hinted there was trouble in paradise. Affleck had moved his belongings out of their home while Lopez was on a solo vacation in Italy. He then didn’t show up to Lopez’s 55th birthday celebration.
