On August 20, 2024, Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, two years after their Georgia wedding. Their rekindled romance, once the subject of headlines, had begun to unravel. Despite Lopez’s efforts to save the marriage, insiders revealed she felt “very disappointed and sad,” with Affleck showing little “commitment and interest” in resolving their issues.

That same day, while Lopez was spotted looking grim in New York, Affleck was seen in good spirits, returning to Los Angeles with ex-wife Jennifer Garner after dropping their daughter Violet at Yale. A source noted that despite his crumbling marriage, Affleck remained focused on family, adding, “Jen and Ben are great at coming together for family events.”

Social media buzzed with reactions, with some sympathizing with Lopez and others commenting on Affleck’s cheerful demeanor. The split highlighted the difficulty of maintaining high-profile relationships under public scrutiny.
