RIP Bennifer 2.0 as JLo Files For Divorce from Ben Affleck, Says It Ended Back in April

Share

TMZ reports that JLo has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

Lopez says in the filing that the marriage ended back in April. This was their second time around, but first marriage.

According to the site, there was no prenup and there’s still no settlement. They each have untold millions so there won’t be too much trouble extricating them from this thing.

During the marriage, Affleck has produced several hits. But Lopez lost $20 million of her own money gambling on an album and longform video that fizzled.

The album and the documentary, all about their love story as told by Lopez, seems to have preceded the end of the marriage by 10 weeks. The album was called “This is Me…Then.” The film was called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

Their only collaboration was a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Lopez has spent the summer shedding the whole ordeal, traveling to Europe and then to Hamptons. I was told that someone in the Hamptons is driving the highest-end Porsche with license plated “Ben Jen.”

They bought a $60 million mansion. Did they ever hear the doors creak? Swat a mosquito? Clean up the kitchen? Check the sprinklers?

And so it goes.
