"Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck," one X user wrote, with an accompanying Golden Girls clip. In the video, Balance enters the apartment expressing how stunned she is.
A PR dream

Considering rumors have spread for months and there have been tale-tell signs, many speculate her filing on the anniversary of their big wedding ceremony is no coincidence, including this X user. Lopez seemingly wants to have the last laugh.
A broken heart

- MEGA)Other fans say Lopez dragged her feet. Her entire brand for the past two years has been centered around Affleck being the one love of her life. Maybe the anniversary was a sign it was time for her to let it go. One X user referenced Lopez's public adoration for Affleck.
He seemed miserable

Jokes about Affleck's demeanor have run rampant throughout their marriage. He appeared irritated, as one X user notes, and somber when they were photographed most time. Some fans say the writings have been on the wall…at least for him.
Is this his karma?

Some sources say Affleck knew the marriage was over as quickly as it began. While rekindling his romance with Lopez, he made controversial remarks about his ex, Jennifer Garner, despite her supporting him through his addiction. Some wonder if this is his payback, such as one X user.
Is it time for Lopez to enjoy the single life?

- Prime Video)Lopez has been married, and now divorced, four times. In between, there's been several relationships and broken engagements. She's synonymous with being a hopeless romantic, but at what cost? After a 20+ year back and forth with Affleck, as noted by this X user, it may be time for some alone time.
