Before they ended their relationship, broke off their engagement, and fell out of love, they were one of the most famous couples in the entertainment industry in the early 2000s.
In 2021, “Bennifer” got back together, making fans around the world very happy. But despite hopes for a happy ending, things didn’t work out as planned.
Recently, there were rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were having problems. This week, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck. It’s worth noting that August 20 was the second anniversary of their surprise Las Vegas wedding.
Of course, there’s been a lot of buzz about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s decision to get a divorce. Almost every magazine and website covering celebrities is trying to find out how Ben and JLo are doing.
Meanwhile, Ben was seen getting off a plane with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their child, Fin. He didn’t seem upset at all on the day Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were seen taking a flight to Los Angeles after dropping off their daughter Violet at her college in Connecticut. All eyes were on Ben as he got off the plane, and fans were quick to share their thoughts on his demeanor.
One user on Instagram commented, “He seems relieved \ go Ben! ],” while another said, “He looks ecstatic. He rarely smiles like that, wow.” A third user remarked, “He’s celebrating.”
Even though this was likely just a family outing for Violet, the fact that Ben was seen with his ex-wife on the same day Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce made headlines.
Some people online were thrilled to see Ben with Garner and even speculated about the possibility of them rekindling their romance.
“He’s smiling again! He should stay with his family forever. \\\,” a fan wrote on Facebook.
Another admirer commented, “He’s always happy around @jennifer.garner . I hope they get back together because not every divorce ends badly. They were together for years and have kids.”
A third person said, “He knows where his true love is and where he feels safe and loved! Family is the most important thing.”
One online user suggested, “Garner might be dating someone just to cover up her relationship with Ben, which is why his other relationships don’t last .” This implies that Ben and Jennifer Garner might be getting closer again.
Reports also say that Garner celebrated her 52nd birthday with Affleck on August 15, just five days before the divorce news, at the rental house in Brentwood, California, where he currently lives.
It’s important to remember that any rumors suggesting Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are more than just co-parents are just that—rumors. They should be taken lightly.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, who has canceled her planned North American tour for this year, is rumored to have filed for divorce without a lawyer, suggesting she wants to handle it herself.
TMZ reports that there was no prenuptial agreement between JLo and Ben, as shown in the divorce filings.
My Ex Left Me with His Son from a Previous Marriage 10 Years Ago — Yesterday, He Showed Up in My Yard with a Lawyer
Ten years after vanishing, Sara’s ex-fiancé, Daniel, reappears on her doorstep with a lawyer, demanding custody of the son he’d abandoned. Secrets unravel as Sara fights to protect the life she built with Adam, and the true reason behind Daniel’s sudden return threatens everything.
Yesterday, while Adam got ready for school upstairs, I savored my last sip of coffee when the doorbell rang. I assumed it was a neighbor or the mailman.
But when I opened the door, my heart lurched.
Daniel.
I hadn’t thought about him in years, except in fleeting moments when Adam asked about his father. But this was not how I imagined seeing him again.
He stood there, ten years older but unchanged. Next to him was a man in an expensive suit, clutching a folder.
“Why are you here?” I croaked.
Daniel cut to the chase. “I’m here to take back my son.”
My heart stopped. After a decade of silence, he thought he could waltz back and take Adam away?
“You’re not taking him,” I whispered. “You have no right.”
Daniel’s lawyer stepped forward, handing me the folder. “Ma’am, you’ve been served.”
My hands shook as I read the legal jargon: custody, contest, court. My life with Adam, built over ten years, was about to unravel.
Ten years ago
Daniel had swept into my life, bringing his three-year-old son, Adam, from his previous marriage. He was charming but broken, and I thought I could fix him. Adam was the best part, and I became his stepmom, feeling like I belonged.
Then one morning, I woke up to an empty bed. I thought he might’ve gone for a run, but hours passed with no sign of him. Panic set in when I found the note: “I’m sorry, but I have to go.”
I was left to explain to Adam that his daddy was gone. He didn’t cry but said, “Daddy said he’d come back one day.” Weeks turned into months, and Adam stopped asking.
After Daniel left, I faced a nightmare. Child Protective Services got involved, and as a stepmom, I had no legal rights. They didn’t care that I was the only mother Adam knew. I fought tirelessly, enduring sleepless nights and endless court dates, and in the end, I won. I adopted Adam legally and vowed no one would take him from me again.
The present day
Staring at the legal papers, rage and fear washed over me.
“Mom?” Adam’s hesitant voice broke through my thoughts. I realized he had overheard everything.
“It’s nothing,” I lied, forcing a smile. But it wasn’t fine.
I hired a lawyer, determined to protect Adam. As the case unfolded, we discovered Daniel’s true motive: Adam’s grandfather had recently passed down a large inheritance, and Daniel wanted custody to get his hands on Adam’s money.
The court hearing came quickly. My lawyer, Judith, prepped me for the questions, but nothing prepared me for seeing Daniel again. His lawyer argued that Daniel, as Adam’s biological father, had the right to custody, painting him as a man ready to step up.
But Judith laid out the truth: Daniel hadn’t been a part of Adam’s life for ten years. Then she revealed the inheritance, stating Daniel was motivated by greed, not love.
The judge turned to Adam. “You’re thirteen now; I want to hear from you.”
Adam stood, surprising everyone. “Sara has been my mom for ten years. I don’t know the man sitting there. I want to stay with the only person who has ever cared for me.”
The courtroom fell silent.
The judge nodded, her expression softening. “Your decision is clear.” With that, the gavel came down. Adam would stay with me.
Daniel left the courtroom, a defeated shadow of the man I once loved.
Outside, Adam turned to me, smiling. “I’m glad it’s over, Mom.”
“Me too,” I whispered, pulling him into a tight embrace.
As we walked down the courthouse steps, Adam asked, “What do we do with the inheritance now?”
I smiled softly. “That money is yours, Adam. I’ll never take a cent of it. It’s for your future.”
He looked up, his eyes full of warmth. “My future is with you, Mom.”
