This post was originally published on 7 September and has since been updated with new information following the news Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage, according to TMZ who was first to report the news.
It all started in May. There were reports that Ben Affleck (actor, filmmaker, owner of horrendous back tattoo) hadn't been photographed with his wife, Jennifer Lopez (actress, singer, chronically insistent that a 'joyful heart' is the reason she doesn’t age) in 47 days.
Well, look. Technically, it 'all started' 22 years ago. But we'll get to that.
Also in May, Lopez interacted with a social media post about unhealthy relationships. Rumours swirled that the two were living separately, and when Lopez was asked about her marriage at a press conference later that month, she simply replied, "you know better than that."
Then, they attended Affleck's daughter's graduation ceremony together, and things were fine.
Except things were not fine.
In June, Affleck moved his belongings out of the couple's shared home. At the end of July, Lopez turned 55, and celebrated with a Bridgerton-themed ball that frankly, it has to be said, looked like it slapped. There was a horse-drawn carriage. An orchestra. Professional dancers. Everyone was in costume. Except Ben, who apparently wasn't invited.
On Affleck's 52nd birthday, just days ago, Lopez wished her husband well posted three photos of herself wearing a see-through Dior dress.
