Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, are calling it quits after just two years of marriage. Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, marking the end of their union on the exact two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding.
The couple, who rekindled their romance nearly two decades after their initial engagement, surprised fans when they tied the knot in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. Lopez described their Vegas wedding as “exactly what we wanted,” but cracks in the relationship soon became apparent to many observers.

Flooding Reaction from Fans
As news of their split spread, reactions from fans and critics alike flooded social media.
John’s Emotional Burst
John, a Twitter user, commented, “Jennifer Lopez said her Las Vegas wedding to Ben Affleck was ‘exactly what we wanted.’ He already had the ‘please kill me now’ look on his face in the wedding pics. Not a good omen.”
‘My Thought’ Spitting Out
Another user, under the handle “my though,” expressed bewilderment over the marriage, stating, “I don’t know why they got married in the first place. Everyone else in the world saw this coming from a million miles away.”
Jackie’s Jacking Emotions
Some saw the breakup as inevitable, with Jackie tweeting, “These people remind me of being a child getting a new toy. Play with it six months and get tired of it and throw it away.”
The Unbearable 120volts Shock!
Amidst the flood of reactions, one Twitter user, “120volts,” took a lighter approach, focusing on an entirely different subject: “I’m really wanting grilled hamburgers made with chopped onions, mayonnaise, pink salt, depressed in the middle like a griller should do, and seared on both sides before lowering the heat and letting it cook to medium rare. And I’ll top off with lettuce, sweet dill pickles, swiss cheese, and dijon mustard. I can just smell them now!”
The Unintended BiggerIntex
However, not all comments were as light-hearted. Another user, “biggerintex,” criticized Lopez directly, saying, “Lopez loves the attention of a marriage. The parties and gifts. She is not a catch and a terrible role model. She is in love with herself. Stay single!!”
Bill Making Checks
Bill, a critic of Affleck, offered a more sobering take: “Affleck, finally sober up and realize JLo from the block has been around the block a few times. She will rush into another marriage and it will end up in divorce also. Maybe it is not the men she chooses but rather it is high maintenance JLo herself.”
The End Of BENNIFER SAGA
As the world watches the fallout from their divorce, one thing is clear: the “Bennifer” saga has come to an end, leaving many to wonder what comes next for both stars.
