Jennifer Lopez told viewers she 'should have done it sooner' as she discussed her divorce from Ben Affleck on Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, confirming that she is now happily single and reflecting bluntly on the end of their high-profile marriage.
The Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck divorce has played out in public for years, long before court papers were filed. The pair first became 'Bennifer' in the early 2000s, called off an engagement in 2004, then stunned Hollywood by rekindling their romance in 2021. They married in 2022 and, in a move that raised eyebrows at the time, Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary in 2024. Since then, both have offered carefully worded explanations that revealed little and reassured no one that the story was truly finished.
