Biggest Breakups of 2024: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, More

Not every love story in 2024 had a happy ending.

After two years of marriage (and decades of history), Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their wedding anniversary. (While Lopez and Affleck had eloped in July 2022, they renewed their vows in a grandiose ceremony at the Oscar-winning director’s Georgia residence the next month.)

“The timing of the divorce was a big f— you to Ben,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly at the time.

By October, Lopez opened up about her mindset for her ending her marriage.

“I did all the work and look where I am, and then it was like my whole f—ing world exploded,” she told Interview magazine. “Sometimes, it’s going to work out great. And sometimes it won’t. And that’s f—ing OK, too. I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’”
