What Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Have Said About Each Other Post-Split
and have each spoken publicly about the other in the aftermath of their divorce.
Us Weekly confirmed in August 2024 that Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck after two years of marriage. The pop star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split and listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024. The date of her divorce filing was significant as it marked the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony in Georgia. (The pair initially tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022.)
“It was more and more apparent they weren’t a good match,” a source exclusively told Us in August 2024. While the insider noted they tried to “make it work” by going to therapy, “it boiled down to [the fact that] they are two different people.”
One month after their divorce made headlines, the two reunited to grab lunch with their children at a Los Angeles hotel. However, a second source clarified to Us that despite putting on a united front during the outing, the two were moving forward with their separation.

She subtly brought up the topic while discussing how her twins, Max and Emme — whom she shares with ex-husband — and projects such as the film Unstoppable helped her grow her self-esteem.
“With This Is Me … Now and the project you mentioned earlier, I felt like, whoa, I got here. I’m good,” she added. “I did all the work and look where I am, and then it was like my whole f—ing world exploded.”
She continued: “Sometimes, Nikki, it’s going to work out great. And sometimes it won’t. And that’s f—ing OK, too.
