Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck and popular American singer Jennifer Lopez, who recently experienced difficulties in their marriage, announced their intention to divorce. According to DailyMail, the couple has already prepared documents for divorce, but has not yet submitted them to the relevant authorities to officially start the process. An official statement on the breakup is expected in the near future.
Rumors of divorce are confirmed by other events. After Affleck and Lopez put their luxury estate in Beverly Hills up for sale, it was revealed that Affleck has purchased a new home worth over $20 million. This purchase coincided with Lopez's birthday, which the actor did not attend.
Jennifer Lopez herself also decided to change her place of residence. She sold her four-bedroom penthouse in New York for $23 million and is likely planning to buy a new home in Los Angeles.
It is known that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began a relationship back in 2001, when Affleck proposed to Lopez. The couple planned a wedding for 2003, but due to problems in the relationship, canceled it. After more than 20 years of separation, they secretly married in July 2022. However, since March 2024, the star couple has not appeared together in public, which has caused numerous rumors about a possible breakup.
Jennifer and Ben are currently preparing a joint statement to officially confirm their decision to separate.
