Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck File for Second Divorce — “Bennifer Curse” Strikes Again

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially filed for divorce for the second time, ending their turbulent second chapter after just four years of marriage and reigniting talk of the infamous “Bennifer Curse.”

The couple, who first split in 2004 before reuniting in 2021 and remarrying in 2022, submitted paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 10, 2026. Sources close to the pair cite “irreconcilable differences” once again, with insiders pointing to clashing schedules, unresolved trust issues from their past, and growing emotional distance as the core problems.

“Ben felt J.Lo was more focused on her career and brand than rebuilding their family,” one source told People. “The same patterns from 2004 resurfaced — the whirlwind romance, the public pressure, and ultimately the same cracks that broke them the first time.”

The filing comes just weeks after the couple was seen arriving separately at a New York gala and leaving without posing together. Social media exploded with #BenniferDivorce2 and #BenniferCurse trending worldwide within hours. Fans are divided between heartbreak and “I told you so” reactions, with many labeling the pair “cursed to repeat history.”

Legal experts expect a contentious split involving significant ᴀssets, including their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion and J.Lo’s extensive business holdings. Both have children from previous relationships, making custody arrangements another potential flashpoint.

After two decades of on-again, off-again drama, the second divorce appears to confirm what many have long suspected: some love stories are simply not meant to last. Bennifer 2.0 is officially over — again.
