Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck seemed to have broken up.
The internet went crazy in May 2024 over Jennifer and Ben’s marriage because they hadn’t been seen together in public for almost 50 days. On top of that, people on social media saw that the singer of “On the Floor” “liked” an Instagram post about relationship problems.
In the original post, it was said that there is someone who “doesn’t know who they are or what they want” and “cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity & emotional safety.”
Several news sources say that the person who made the post, @yourcourageouscomeback, said that Jennifer “liked” it.
“Just logged into IG and noticed @jlo liked my post,” the user wrote with a picture of Jennifer Lawrence’s “like” of the post on her official Instagram account. “I’ll take Jlo or her PR team.”
Finally, the rumors died down when PEOPLE revealed on May 17 that Jennifer and Ben had been seen together. It was said that both of the couples were wearing their wedding rings.
Several news sources, though, said the couple had been living apart for weeks. In the summer, they even put their Beverly Hills home on the market.

At the end of the summer of 2024, J. Lo and Ben sold their home in Beverly Hills. On July 24, Jennifer’s birthday, Ben bought a brand-new home in Los Angeles. The pop star was having a birthday party in the Hamptons that day.
Entourage Tonight said in August that the couple is “waiting to announce their official split because they want to make sure everything goes smoothly when they do, especially with everyone involved.”
TMZ says that Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben on August 20, 2024.

She said, “Now I’m excited when you say you’re just going to be on your own.” Yes, I’m not looking for anyone because everything I’ve done in the last 25 to 30 years has been hard. What can I do now that I’m free?
