As the news of their divorce filing spreads, many are looking back at their relationship and wondering where things went wrong. Jennifer, who is now 55, and Ben, who is 52, have decided to go their separate ways after months of speculation about the state of their marriage. On what should have been their second wedding anniversary, Jennifer officially filed for divorce on August 20, revealing that they had actually separated four months prior in April of the same year.
Fans are devastated by the news, as the iconic Bennifer chapter that began in 2001 has finally come to a close.

It has been a tumultuous journey for the couple, with numerous reports in recent months hinting at issues in their relationship. Fans have been analyzing and dissecting every clue, leading to the realization that the couple may have been heading towards a split.
Let's take a look back at the timeline of Bennifer's relationship. They first met over 20 years ago on the set of the 2003 film Gigli, which may have flopped at the box office, but ultimately gave us the iconic couple name. Just a year later, in November 2002, Ben proposed to Jennifer with a pink diamond, starting a trend among Hollywood couples. They also starred together in Jennifer's music video for "Jenny From The Block" that same month.
However, just days before their wedding in September 2003, the couple called it off. They cited the excessive media attention surrounding their relationship as the reason for postponing the wedding. They didn't want their special day to be compromised by the constant press intrusion and paparazzi. But in January 2004, it was officially over for good as the couple announced their split. Jennifer's representative released a statement confirming the end of their engagement and asking for privacy during this difficult time.
Over the next 17 years, both Jennifer and Ben went on to have other relationships and children. Ben married Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they have three children together. Jennifer married Marc Anthony in 2004 and they have two children. Jennifer then dated Alex Rodriguez and got engaged in 2019, but they parted ways in 2021. In May 2021, the world was shocked when Ben and Jennifer were spotted together in Montana, 17 years after their split. They were then photographed together in Miami, looking happier than ever.
In June 2021, Jennifer finally confirmed their reunion by sharing a sweet photo of them kissing on Instagram. And in September of the same year, they made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival, where they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Jennifer has been open about how their relationship is different this time around, as they are both older, wiser, and have more life experience. In April 2022, Ben proposed for the second time during a bubble bath, and the couple officially got engaged again. They then had a shotgun Las Vegas wedding in July 2022, followed by a lavish white wedding in Georgia a couple of months later.
But in February 2023, trouble seemed to arise as the couple was seen arguing at the premiere of Jennifer's film Shotgun. Fans were shocked and saddened by the news, as it seemed like things were going so well for the couple. Ultimately, it seems that despite their efforts, Jennifer and Ben were not meant to be together. They will always be remembered as one of Hollywood's most iconic couples, but now they must move on and focus on co-parenting their children and their individual futures.
It's official, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are calling it quits after two years of marriage. It's a sad ending for the couple as they file for divorce, leaving fans heartbroken and questioning where things went wrong in their relationship.
