The end of Bennifer

IT'S the classic love story: boy meets girl, they fall in love, star in films together, get engaged, separate, marry other people, get back together and marry each other (twice).

But now the lights have gone out on the ultimate Hollywood power couple - Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting a divorce.

Two decades after their initial fling, the couple married in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and followed it with a traditional wedding ceremony at Ben's Georgia mansion.

"Love is beautiful. Love is kind.

And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," said J-Lo.

"Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drivethrough in Las Vegas at 12.30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drivethrough with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with."

But on Tuesday- the second anniversary of their second wedding - she filed for divorce at Los Angeles Superior Court, listing the date of separation as April 26.

Both halves of "Bennifer" are independently wealthy and the couple never had kids.

So while there was no pre-nuptial agreement in place, a source close to the couple does not expect a court battle. They said: "Given their net worth, it's highly unlikely that either will go after the other.

"They have no children together, which makes the divorce so much easier.
