Jennifer Lopez steps out in public after divorce filing from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez made her first public appearance since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where she promoted her new movie, 'Unstoppable.' The film, which tells the inspiring story of wrestler Anthony Robles, was produced by Affleck, marking their first collaboration since their marriage in 2022. At the premiere, Lopez wore a striking silver dress and was joined by co-stars Bobby Cannavale, Jharrel Jerome, and Don Cheadle, as well as producer Matt Damon. The divorce filing occurred on August 20, 2024, after two years of marriage, and came shortly after Lopez canceled her summer tour to spend time with her family. This date is particularly poignant as it coincides with the anniversary of their second wedding in Georgia. The couple had rekindled their romance in 2021 after a previous engagement in 2002, which ended in 2004. Despite the public nature of the event, Affleck was notably absent from the premiere, and neither he nor Lopez has publicly commented on the divorce. According to court documents, Lopez has requested to revert her last name back to Lopez and has asked the court to deny any spousal support for both parties. The film 'Unstoppable' highlights the remarkable achievements of Robles, who overcame significant challenges to become a national champion. This premiere not only marks a significant moment in Lopez's career but also reflects the complexities of her personal life as she navigates her recent separation from Affleck.
