What led to the downfall of Bennifer 2.0? After a whirlwind two years of marriage and relentless media scrutiny, the questions about their split persist. Will they ever rekindle their romance? And who will buy their $68 million mansion? While answers remain elusive, tabloids are buzzing with theories, predominantly casting J.Lo in a sympathetic light.
According to “Page Six,” the couple’s troubles began early, even on their honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy, where paparazzi intrusion was a major stressor for Affleck. A source claims, “He was clearly distressed by the constant media attention, which he seemed to underestimate, considering her celebrity status.” The same source reported that the couple barely communicated during this supposedly blissful period and that Affleck’s promises of change quickly faded.

The New York Post revisited Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, where she reflects on Affleck’s discomfort with her artistic choices. She noted, “He loves me but struggles with supporting my work while feeling like a muse.” The film also reveals Affleck’s discomfort upon discovering Lopez shared his private love letters with musicians, a realization he found poetic yet intrusive.
Recent reports indicate that Lopez filed for divorce without legal representation, citing irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ. The couple’s ongoing negotiations over their assets have reportedly become contentious. A source told People that Lopez, who filed on their second wedding anniversary, is heartbroken but determined to move on, feeling that Affleck has shown no interest in salvaging their marriage.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail relayed critical perspectives from Lopez’s friends, suggesting she needs to focus on self-reflection after multiple failed marriages. They claim Affleck allowed the divorce filing on their anniversary to avoid appearing as the villain, which Lopez accepted despite its lack of impact on him.
This weekend, rumors surfaced about Affleck’s potential new romance with Kick Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., spotted together at several high-profile locations. Additionally, People reported that Affleck’s “erratic mood swings” played a remarkable role in their separation, contrasting sharply with the person Lopez believed she married.
Lopez’s camp portrays her as a victim of a disillusioning relationship, while Affleck’s side remains largely silent, maintaining his privacy. It seems fitting, given their contrasting approaches to handling the media storm.
