Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were married for two years, from July 2022 to April 2024 before reuniting in 2021. The couple also dated earlier, from 2002 to 2004.
A source close to Affleck, in a recently published story on March 28 by People noted that the actor is done talking about his split with Lopez after opening up about the divorce in a GQ cover story. The source noted,
"The GQ story was kind of all about clearing the air one last time. He's done talking about JLO. He's not proud that their marriage didn't work out. He didn't want to hurt her. But now he wants to just focus on his kids and work."
In February 2025, Ben Affleck did an interview with British GQ where he broke his silence on his divorce from Lopez. Affleck noted that it was "important to say" that there wasn't "some major fracture" between the two.
While reflecting on their split, Affleck noted that Lopez is still "somebody I have a lot of respect for",
"There's a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something. But honestly, like I said, the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting. There's no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue. The truth is, when you talk to somebody, 'Hey, waht happened?' Well, there is no, "This is what happened."
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's relationship timeline explored
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first met on the set of Gigli in 2002. At the time, Lopez was married to her second husband, Cris Judd, but she soon separated from him.
In November 2002, Lopez, during a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer, opened up about her engagement with Affleck. However, this romance was short-lived, and the two broke up in January 2004. From 2015-2020, the two actors remained friends, and often showed support for each other before rekindling their romance in April 2021, after Lopez split from Alex Rodriguez. In July 2021, Lopez posted a carousel of photos with Affleck, making their relationship Instagram official.
In April 2022, a rep for Lopez confirmed to People that the pair got engaged again, and on July 17, 2022, the two tied the knot. A month later, the couple celebrated their nuptials with close family and friends in Georgia. The same month, the two set out for a romantic Italian honeymoon.
