Shocking details emerge about Bennifer’s split.
The curtain has fallen on one of Hollywood’s most anticipated reunions.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are calling it quits, just two years after rekindling their romance.
Origins of Bennifer detailed.
Affleck and Lopez’s relationship has been a rollercoaster since their first engagement in 2002.
Their initial romance ignited on the set of Gigli and quickly led to an engagement.
But before they could say “I do,” they called off their wedding in 2004.
After their split, Lopez married Marc Anthony, and Affleck wed Jennifer Garner.
Bennifer reunion stuns fans.
Both went on to have families with their new partners, but fate had other plans. The two reunited in 2021.
Their rekindled love culminated in a Las Vegas wedding in July 2022.
Unfortunately, their renewed commitment wasn’t enough to overcome the underlying issues.
Official separation date detailed.
According to their divorce filings, the official separation date is listed as April 26, 2024.
This revelation follows months of rumors about a possible split.
Adding to the complexity of their separation, the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement.
As a result, their assets remain up in the air as they navigate their divorce proceedings.
Dark reason for split revealed.
The latest reports suggest Affleck’s emotional instability played a crucial role in their split.
According to a source close to the former couple, the Golden Globe winner, 52, was plagued by severe mood swings.
These fluctuations, ranging from high-energy exuberance to deep, dark moods, reportedly drove a wedge between him and Lopez.
Public display of issues exposed.
The insider revealed to PEOPLE on Saturday that this pattern of behavior was more than just occasional.
“There was a great deal of love, but Ben’s erratic mood swings became impossible to ignore,” the source claimed.
Affleck, known for his candidness, apparently struggled to conceal his emotional turbulence from the media.
The source added, “You could see the erratic behavior—the giant mood swings. He could go from incredibly happy and warm to exposing his deepest, darkest behavior.”
Date of separation confirmed.
Despite his efforts to mask these issues, Affleck’s struggles became increasingly visible. The separation was formally filed on August 20.
Coincidentally, this date marked their second wedding anniversary, a poignant reminder of their brief reunion.
“The mood swings and big highs and lows created a pervasive toxicity,” the insider explained.
“When that happens, no one can help you—only you can help yourself,” they added.
Yet, the source insisted that love was still present, despite the profound difficulties they faced.
“I wouldn’t be so bold to say there isn’t love,” they added, acknowledging that deep feelings lingered.
Fans disappointed post-split.
Fans had hoped for a happily-ever-after, but the emotional turbulence proved too much.
Affleck’s behavior has been under the microscope for years, with his past struggles with addiction and personal demons often making headlines.
In recent months, he’s been seen struggling publicly with his mood swings, which might have exacerbated their issues.
Lopez, on the other hand, has remained a steadfast presence in the public eye, with her own career and personal challenges.
The combination of Affleck’s emotional highs and lows, alongside the pressures of their high-profile lives, appears to have been too much to bear.
Despite their efforts to make it work, the persistent issues proved insurmountable.
