Hollywood actress Jennifer Lopez, better known as JLo by her fans, is one of the most well-known actresses of all time, famous for her iconic roles, striking moves, and stunning looks, thanks to her Puerto Rican heritage, and for being a brand in herself. What’s more interesting is how her love life has been as big as her star status.
The Atlas actress once again married actor Ben Affleck in 2022 in Georgia. The couple eloped and tied the knot officially in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 16, 2022, making this wedding their second.
Lopez was dressed in a stunning white gown by Ralph Lauren, made in Italy. The groom wore a matching black and white tuxedo. The couple had previously dated from 2002 to 2004 and were engaged earlier, but they called it off. In 2021, they rekindled their relationship.
The couple once again grabbed the spotlight earlier this year as rumors swirled about tension in her marriage with Ben Affleck in the tabloids. “They’re still living separately,” a source close to Lopez told PEOPLE a few months ago. “She’s back in L.A. for tour rehearsals. She seems okay. She’s very focused on work.”
However, things clearly did not improve between the two, as in August 2024, Lopez finally filed for divorce on the 20th of the month without a lawyer.
“She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken,” says the insider. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been,” said a source according to reports from PEOPLE.
Coming to their family dynamics, while the duo did not have any children together, they have a blended family that includes Max and Emme, the 16-year-old twins Lopez shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, the kids Affleck shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Moreover, in her divorce filing, Lopez listed the couple’s date of separation as April 26, 2024, as reported by PEOPLE. Previously, in June 2024, PEOPLE reported (around the same time when TMZ spotted Lopez enjoying a solo trip in Italy) that the duo was reportedly selling their $60 million Beverly Hills, California home.
They purchased the luxurious villa in cash for $60.85 million in May 2023 and are reportedly using realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency to sell the home, requesting $65 million.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have always focused on the value of family, and despite their recent divorce filing, their children remain their top priority. Lopez recently filed for divorce from Affleck after more than two years of marriage, but both stars are determined to keep their blended family a priority as per PEOPLE.
On Tuesday, August 20, multiple sources confirmed that Jennifer Lopez had filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. The couple, who legally married in July 2022, has been navigating their relationship for years, dating back to their first romance in 2003.
The divorce filing specified April 26 as the official separation date. Despite the split, sources close to the couple insist that their five children are still their top priority.
A source told PEOPLE that, “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.” Lopez and her ex-husband Marc Anthony have 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, while Affleck has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Lopez has continued to spend time with Affleck’s children despite the divorce filing’s stated separation date. Lopez was spotted on Sunday, August 11, visiting Affleck’s Brentwood rental home. During her visit, she took Affleck’s son, Samuel, to the mall.
Lopez and Affleck’s children formed a close bond earlier this summer. Lopez and Affleck attended Samuel’s graduation ceremony and party in June. The couple also attended one of Samuel’s basketball games earlier that month.
In July, Lopez was seen walking arm in arm with Violet in the Hamptons. A source told PEOPLE that the two “really enjoy each other’s company” and “seem so happy to be spending this time together.” Violet was also spotted wearing a pink-and-white Dolce & Gabbana dress on August 9, which appeared to be the same one Lopez wore on a date night with Affleck.
Despite their separation, Lopez and Affleck have made it clear that their children are their top priority. According to a source, “Lopez tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken.” Her love for the children, however, has remained constant. Lopez attended Violet’s high school graduation in May, alongside Affleck, Garner, and their blended families.
Lopez used Affleck’s 52nd birthday, on Thursday, August 15, to show her love for their blended family. On that day, Lopez and Garner paid Affleck a visit at his Brentwood rental home.
