This marked the first time that Affleck and Lopez worked on a project together since they got married in 2022. Affleck was also featured in the singer’s 2024 “This Is Me... Now: A Love Story” and its accompanying documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”
The “If You Had My Love” singer filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20 after two years of marriage. The news came months after she canceled her summer tour on May 31 to take “time off to be with her children, family and close friends,” according to Live Nation.
The date is significant in that it is the wedding anniversary of their second wedding in Georgia.
In 2021, the two rekindled their romance after getting engaged in 2002 and later calling it off in 2004.
The pair have yet to publicly speak out on their divorce, though according to documents obtained by TODAY.com, the "Hustlers" star requested to change her last name from Affleck back to Lopez. She also asked the court to deny her and Affleck the ability to collect spousal support.
On Aug. 31, J.Lo shared a slideshow filled with photos from her summer. One of the messages included in the post read, “Everything is unfolding in divine order.” Another message written on her shirt in another photo read, “she’s in bloom and unbothered/ out of reach and at peace.”
