How long were Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez together? A look at their relationship timeline as Affleck reportedly 'done talking about' Lopez

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."
