Jennifer Lopez is putting an end to her marriage to Ben Affleck. The Hollywood star filed for divorce on Tuesday following multiple rumors of struggles in their marriage. The pair officially separated on April 26 but decided to wait, seemingly in an attempt to fix their relationship, but it all came to an end.
The former celebrity couple were married for two years, and during their time together they formed a blended family with their five children. The happy family was spotted multiple times spending quality time together, and now that the divorce has been announced they are ready to move forward.
