Should we brace ourselves for another Bennifer comeback? Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2022 and followed up with an intimate ceremony in 2023, appear to be navigating a rocky marriage. After months of speculation, J.Lo officially filed for divorce on August 20, 2024. Yet, recent photos show the iconic duo looking very close. What gives?
Bennifer: The End or a New Beginning?
On September 14, 2024, paparazzi captured Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck enjoying a family brunch with their respective children. They were seen hugging, holding hands, and even kissing. This cozy display has many wondering: could Bennifer be on the verge of another reunion? According to PageSix, the couple was spotted at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. They were “holding hands and kissing,” but crucially, their children sat at a separate table.
Despite these affectionate gestures, it seems their decision to part ways is real and thoroughly contemplated. In her divorce filing on August 20, Jennifer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. This seriousness is also reflected in their conversations with friends and family. According to those close to the couple, it’s not just about lingering complicity but a genuine effort to co-parent amicably.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: A Potentially Juicy Divorce?
A point of intrigue is that, according to TMZ, the couple didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement before getting married. This has the makings of a high-stakes drama, particularly concerning their shared real estate. Their Beverly Hills mansion, which hit the market for $68 million in July 2024, could become a focal point of contention. Yet so far, the couple seems committed to making the divorce as smooth as possible. It’s almost like they’re redefining what it means to have an amicable split. Sure, it’s not all sunshine and roses, but they’re avoiding the stereotypical yelling-and-screaming type of divorce.
Regardless of whether they reconcile or remain apart, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have etched their love story into pop culture history. Back together or not, they’ve set an example that divorces don’t have to devolve into acrimony and public spats. They’re making it work—for their kids and for themselves.
