Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck after two decades of on-and-off romance
The HinduAfter a relationship that spanned two decades, two engagements, two weddings, and headlines too numerous to count, Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. The pair became known, even before such power-couple portmanteaus were ubiquitous, as “Bennifer.” Court records showed Lopez filed the petition Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Twenty years patient,” wrote Lopez, announcing their first, quickie Las Vegas wedding that July, and signing off as Jennifer Lynn Affleck. “She’s doing extraordinary work in large measure because she’s taking that step to take responsibility for what she’s doing rather than say, ‘This is what I’m being offered.’” Lopez is starring in the upcoming Unstoppable, under Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity banner.
