Ben Affleck Reveals The Reason For His Jennifer Lopez Divorce
en Affleck is finally ready to talk about what went wrong in his second grand romance with Jennifer Lopez. Two decades after they first dated in the early 2000s, the actors rekindled their spark in 2021. But sadly, the revived relationship ended similarly. Though they did make it down the aisle this time, saying “I do” in 2022, the couple filed for divorce in the fall of 2024. Affleck hasn’t spoken about the split since then, but now he’s hinting at the cause of the breakup.
Prior to the dissolution of their marriage, Lopez released a cinematic ode to her and Affleck’s love in the bold musical film This Is Me... Now. Affleck had a small role in the movie, but was much more present in its companion documentary, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told. It was in this doc that viewers started to pick up on what may have been an underlying issue for the couple: their very different approaches to fame.
