Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck fans speculate the shocking moment that led to the couple's divorce: 'This was a dead giveaway!'

As a seasoned observer of celebrity relationships, I must say that the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s divorce has taken me by surprise. I remember vividly their fairy-tale reunion after all these years and the hope it sparked among fans who had been rooting for “Bennifer” since the early 2000s.


On Tuesday, Jennifer Lopez initiated divorce proceedings against Ben Affleck, leaving their fans questioning the timeline of their relationship’s decline.

Now, there’s been much discussion among fans about whether a surprising event from last year might be the reason behind the couple’s decision to divorce.

In May of 2023, the renowned pair found themselves trending following an uncomfortable incident. A noticeably irritated Ben, who is now 52, shut the car door forcefully after Jennifer, aged 55 at the time.

During their public appearance, it was noticeable that fans caught an unexpectedly raw glimpse of the apparent strains in their relationship.

While exploring Los Angeles, the pair experienced an uncomfortable incident when they returned to their vehicle.

First, he opened Jennifer’s passenger door for her in a seemingly chivalrous display.

However, stone-like Ben, who seemed tense at the time according to fans, suddenly swung his arm and forcefully closed the door after his wife.

Despite being securely in the vehicle and out of harm’s way, the show put JLo and Ben’s admirers in a state of surprise and discomfort.

It wasn’t evident if there was strain between them that day or if something else caused him to feel pressured, but they didn’t exhibit any signs of discord earlier in the day. Interestingly, they were spotted walking hand-in-hand, with Ben flashing a wide grin while carrying a large iced coffee, and Jennifer enjoying a smaller hot beverage. This amicable scene took place as they approached the car.

Upon learning about their divorce on Tuesday, I couldn’t help but rush to my trusted social media platform – formerly known as Twitter – to join countless other fans in sharing our collective suspicion that a certain piece of evidence served as the final nail in the coffin for this once-powerful couple’s union.

One user wrote: ‘Some people have bad days while others are clearly unhappy in their situation(s). This was a dead giveaway.’

Another said: ‘I know J-Lo has got to have enough rings to form the infinity gauntlet.

‘Because that door slam from Ben [face exhaling emoji]. I know that slam….. That’s that, “fed up with this BS” door slam.’

Others said they knew that the relationship was over as soon as the video hit the internet.

An X user wrote: ‘Knew it was over when he slammed that door.’

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance in 2002, having grown close during the production of the movie “Gigli,” and soon enough, they became engaged.

But they called it quits in 2004, just before they were set to become husband and wife. 

After marrying different individuals, one tied the knot with Mac Anthony in 2004 and the other with Jennifer Garner in 2005, they later separated from their spouses and reunited at a later time.

They rekindled their love in 2021 and went on to wed in Las Vegas in July 2022.

However, following several months of persistent speculation about the dissolution of their union, Jennifer has officially initiated divorce proceedings.

She listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024, as per legal docs seen by DailyMail.com.

The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot, insiders have revealed. 

Previously, Ben expressed a desire to maintain their relationship as ‘confidential’ in the documentary titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” featuring Jennifer Lopez.

The movie chronicled the process of creating her newest album, titled “This Is Me… Now,” which drew much inspiration from her relationship with Ben.

In a particular scene of the film, Ben expressed surprise when he discovered his personal love letters, which Jennifer Lopez had provided to inspire her upcoming album, were being sifted through by her bandmates.

During his 13-year marriage to Garner, the actor held on to his communications with the singer. Later, he compiled these letters and emails into a book as a gift for her when they reconnected in 2021.

He told the camera: ‘Things that are private I always felt are sacred and special because, in part, they’re private.’

Earlier this year, Variety asked if J.Lo and Affleck might collaborate on a film again, to which she replied, “Perhaps, under the right circumstances.”

‘I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,’ she added.

Ben was last seen on Tuesday morning with his ex wife Jennifer Garner and kid Fin. They were returning from taking their eldest child Violet, 18, to college. 

Hours later Lopez filed for divorce. It was her two year wedding anniversary with him.
