<p>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially parting ways after two years of marriage. On August 20, Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 after nearly two decades apart, had married in a surprise Las Vegas wedding in July 2022, followed by a grand ceremony in Georgia the following month.</p>

<p>The duo, famously known as "Bennifer," first met on the set of the 2003 film <em>Gigli </em>and were initially engaged in 2002. However, their relationship faced challenges, leading to a breakup in early 2004. Despite going their separate ways, both remained on friendly terms, reuniting romantically in 2021.</p>

<p>According to sources, Lopez and Affleck's relationship began to strain in recent months, with the couple spending significant time apart. While Lopez focused on her career and celebrated her 55th birthday in New York, Affleck stayed in Los Angeles for work. This distance, coupled with differing personalities, reportedly contributed to the split.</p>
