For celebrities, a trip down the red carpet is just another day at the office. Sure, the rest of us would find a star-studded evening super-fancy. But big names like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez can afford to take red carpet events for granted…after all, what could surprise two actors who have seen it all?

What did they say that had everyone freaking out? What are fans saying, and when did “Bennifer” end for good? Keep reading to find out!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s shocking divorce
Few celebrities have had a relationship journey as elaborate as that of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. The two met way back in 2001, and they were engaged by the end of 2002. At this point, it looked like their romantic momentum would never let up. But by 2003, they had postponed their wedding, and in 2004, their relationship was over for good…at least, so we thought!
In 2021, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began dating once again. They got engaged for a second time in 2022 and got married that same year. It looked like they’d have their own happily ever after, especially after taking multiple honeymoons. But Lopez filed for divorce in 2024, and proceedings were finalized in early 2025. Just like that, Bennifer was over for a second time, and we doubt these two are ever going to get back together.
