How Long Were Lopez and Affleck Married?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot in July 2022 and their marriage lasted just over two years before Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024. In the divorce filings, Lopez listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024. The August 20 divorce filing coincidentally marked the couple’s two-year wedding anniversary of their second ceremony in Georgia.

What Led to the Second Split?

In the months leading up to their divorce filing, Affleck and Lopez had spent much of the summer apart. Sources close to Lopez say the singer was ready to “move on” from Affleck after becoming disappointed that he showed no interest in continuing their marriage. Affleck had been spending more time with his three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, while Lopez was frequently away filming and performing. Their differing priorities and lifestyles may have led to the downfall of their second attempt at romance.

Who are the Rumored Contenders to Date Jennifer Lopez Next?

While Eminem may seem like a far-fetched suitor for Jennifer Lopez, the oddsmakers have proposed several more plausible candidates. Lopez has a history of high-profile relationships, so celebrity contenders like The Weeknd and Matt Damon could potentially enter the mix.

However, sources say Lopez is focused on her children right now and may choose to lay low romantically for some time following her second divorce from Affleck. Her next partner remains speculative but will surely make headlines when that time eventually comes. For now, the star is embracing this new chapter as an independent woman.
