- Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are hitting the headlines again after an unexpected move in their tumultuous on-again, off-again romance.
- The couple’s recent public appearances together, despite filing for divorce, have sparked fears of a relationship similar to another famous duo.
- Fans are drawing parallels between Lopez and Affleck’s relationship and are calling it "toxic" and "tiresome".
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are some of the entertainment industry’s biggest couples who have gone down the road of bad and high-profile splits. To become the latest, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez recently announced their separation and eventual divorce just a few weeks down the lines, sending shockwaves across the industry as well as their fandoms.
Interestingly, everything may not be as certain as it seems. A recent incident by the last mentioned has left puzzling notes across social media. Signaling further unexpected movements in their course to bow out of wedlock, they have also alarmingly begun to mirror another couple, whose highly publicized splitting affair had gripped many a people’s attention.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spark new relationship twist after divorce filing
Citing irreconcilable differences and their desire to seek separate lives, the A-list couple of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck filed for divorce in August this year. However, the duo turned up together with their children at a hotel in Beverly Hills. Additionally, Page Six also reported that the duo was spotted “holding hands and kissing” and taking to a separate table away from their kids, adding another layer to their on-off relationship.
To complicate the mystery further, the sightings also captured Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and her kids at the same venue. While all reports point towards them all gathering for a brunch, it is anyone’s guess behind the separated couple’s alleged intimate moves. Moreover, all of this happened after Lopez’s formal request to drop Affleck from her surname.
To recall, the couple had first met on the set of the movie Gigli, shortly after which the singer divorced her then-husband, Cris Judd, and became engaged to the Batman actor. However, they broke up in 2004, going on to wed separate people. In 2021, their joint appearances surfaced and confirmed a relationship with an eventful marriage in 2022. Yet again, within two years, they have filed for divorce.
Latest Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck move make them resemble another troubled couple
Incidentally, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s affairs bring them in line with Cardi B and Offset, as pointed out by social media fans. The latter duo secretly wed each other in September 2017 and announced the same while welcoming their baby in mid-2018. However, they split that very year because of alleged infidelity by Offset. Yet, several public attempts to reconcile saw them get back together in September 2020, a month after filing for divorce.
The ups and downs continued even as the singer birthed a second child. After another wave of reported infidelity, they headed for divorce again this year but were again spotted together. The course of events and their tumultuous on-off relationship pattern has now eerily started to be mirrored by Lopez and Affleck, with several fans also calling it a “toxic relationship”.
On a formal note, neither Ben Affleck nor Jennifer Lopez have issued any statements regarding this joint appearance, or the speculated reconciliation. As of now, the two A-listers are living at separate locations, with the former also reportedly being spotted with Kick Kennedy.
