Jennifer Lopez Says She's ‘Done' With Marriage After Trying It a ‘Few Times'
Jennifer Lopez says she's 'done' with marriage following four divorces. When Lopez, 55, took the stage for her concert in Bilbao, Spain, on Wednesday, July 16, she noticed a fan sign that read, 'J. Lo, marry me?' 'I think I'm done with that,' the singer and actress replied, laughing. 'I've tried that a few times.' Footage of Lopez's response was posted via X, where a fan remarked, 'She is soooo real for this.' A History of Jennifer Lopez's Past Divorces: From Ojani Noa to Ben Affleck She is currently in Europe for her Up All Night Tour, which kicked off earlier this month and winds down in Kazakhstan on August 10. Lopez has been married four times, with each union ending in divorce. In February, she and Ben Affleck finalized their split five months after Lopez filed paperwork to end their marriage. The exes' relationship had spanned more than 20 years. They first sparked a romance on the set of Gigli in 2001 and got engaged the following year. They were scheduled to walk down the aisle in September 2023, but called off their wedding several days ahead of the ceremony. Lopez and Affleck rekindled the flame in May 2021 and tied the knot in July 2022. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's $60 Million Marital Home Taken Off the Market After 1 Year By the spring of 2024, speculation swirled about their marital status. The pair had not been seen together for nearly two months. Us Weekly confirmed that May that Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills home. A source exclusively told Us in June 2024 that they couldn't 'get on the same page [and had] been discussing divorce as an option.' The following month, another source told Us, 'They are going through so much individually and as a couple. They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.' Last August, Lopez submitted her divorce filing herself, without using an attorney. As celebrity divorce lawyer attorney Chris Melcher told Us at the time, her solo move was 'intentional to send a message that this will not be a fight.' Jennifer Lopez Channels Her Inner Broadway Performer in 1st Trailer for 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' She was previously married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003 and Marc Anthony — with whom she shares twins Max and Emme — from 2004 to 2014. (Affleck, for his part, was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they coparent their three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.) Earlier this month, Lopez invited 30 of her Los Angeles-based fans to a listening party where she debuted six new songs, including the pop ballad 'Wreckage of You,' which she is currently performing on tour. Edgardo Luis Rivera, who attended the event, told Us that Lopez 'said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of ['Wreckage of You'] came to her. She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself. Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.' Solve the daily Crossword

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck reunite for family night at Boston Red Sox baseball game
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are hitting a home run on family nights! Just over 10 years after announcing their divorce, the A-list exes were pictured sitting front row with their two youngest children during the Boston Red Sox's winning game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on July 11. Their eldest child, 19-year-old Violet Affleck, wasn't pictured at the ballgame. "Great Red Sox family right there, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their kids," NESN commentator Dave O'Brien said during a broadcast in a clip shared by the official Major League Baseball X account. In the clip, the Oscar-winning actor and "Deadpool & Wolverine" star were engaged in a conversation before the former couple, seated together in between their children, seemingly flashed soft smiles at the camera. Affleck is a longtime Red Sox fan and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter Violet graduates: See the emotional reaction Garner and ex-husband Affleck were married from 2005 to 2018. Last year, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed to divorce Affleck, 52, in Los Angeles Superior Court. Affleck and Lopez were previously together before the actor and Garner's pairing. Since their split a decade ago, the pair have emerged as one of Hollywood's healthiest examples of "conscious uncoupling," a term coined by Affleck ex and Garner friend Gwyneth Paltrow. The "Gigli" stars first met on set of the film, which was released a year later in 2003. After 10 years of marriage, the duo told USA TODAY in a June 2015 statement that "we go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time." When Affleck accepted the best picture Academy Award for "Argo" in 2013, he received some backlash for comments about Garner: "I want to thank you for working on marriage for 10 Christmases," he said from the stage. "It's good, it is work, but it's the best kind of work, and there's no one I'd rather work with." But Garner later defended her then-husband, telling The Telegraph that "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world. "I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it," Garner said.

Ben Affleck Looking for Bachelor Pad Close to Ex-Wife's House — Report
Ben Affleck is looking for a permanent address near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner's house. As per reports, the actor is searching for a bachelor pad in Brentwood. This will not be the first property for Affleck in the same locality. After the divorce from Jennifer Lopez, the actor was living in a Brentwood rental and was in possession of a house worth millions. A year after ending his marriage with Jennifer Lopez, actor Ben Affleck is still exploring other real estate options. According to DailyMail, the star was reportedly touring an under-construction house in Brentwood on Sunday, which is closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner's, residence. Affleck is particularly looking for bachelor pads in the same upscale Los Angeles neighborhood so that he can stay close to Garner and their children. This will not be the first house in Brentwood for the 52-year-old star. After the divorce from the actor rented a home at $100,000 a month in the same place. Affleck even made headlines for reportedly buying a $20.5 million property. This is situated two blocks from Garner's $7.8 million Brentwood Park residence. According to a People source, the actor's new Los Angeles home is 'family-friendly, but it could easily be transformed into a bachelor pad.' Affleck's house-hunting spree continues even a year after splitting with Lopez. The former couple first met on the sets of the film 'Gigli.' They soon started going out and later got engaged in 2002. However, they broke up in 2004. In the same year, Garner and Affleck's love story started grabbing attention again. The former couple then married in 2005. They even welcomed three children – Violet Anne Affleck, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, and Samuel Garner Affleck. But their romance was short-lived as they got divorced in 2018. The 'Deep' actor then rekindled his romance with Lopez in 2021, before tying the knot year later. However, the former couple officially parted ways after two years with their divorce being finalized at the end of 2024. Now, with the house in the same neighborhood, it seems Affleck wants to spend more time with his ex-wife, Garner, and their kids.

Jennifer Lopez on divorce with Ben Affleck: "It almost took me out and…"
In an interview, the actress said recently, 'It almost took me out for good. 'But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.' read more Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially became divorced and single earlier this year in February. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved their divorce settlement on Jan. 6, and declared that it would take effect on Feb. 21, after California's required six months passed since Lopez filed to dissolve their two-year-old marriage. The document said they settled through mediation in September, avoiding the kind of drawn-out court fight that other celebrity couples have gone through. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In an interview, the actress said recently, 'It almost took me out for good. 'But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.' Lopez now drops the Affleck from her legal name. Most of the financial details were kept private, but neither star will pay the other spousal support, and they have no children together so custody is not an issue. The superstar pairing married in July 2022. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024. The filing said they had separated more than a year earlier. It was their second stint as a couple. In the early 2000s, they met, fell in love, got engaged and starred together in the infamous 'Gigli' and 'Jersey Girl' in 2004. They split up that same year, blaming in part the pressure of the public eye. But to the joy of many fans and perhaps the doubt of others, they got back together two decades later and got married. Affleck divorced Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children, in 2018. Lopez has been married four times and has twins with singer Marc Anthony.

Seth Rogen Reveals the Audition Tape That Would ‘End' His Career
As Hollywood careers go, Seth Rogen has lived a pretty charmed—and scandal-free—life. And he hopes to keep it that way. But Rogen, who is currently riding high on the success of The Studio, the Apple TV+ cringe comedy he co-created and stars in that skewers Hollywood stereotypes, knows that there is some grainy old footage still possibly floating around out in the world somewhere that could spell an end to his own appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, Kimmel asked Rogen—who broke out with his very first acting role in Freaks and Geeks back in 1999—about the last time he actually had to audition for a role. The Superbad creator admitted that it had been a while, then shuddered to remember the last time he was forced to do it. 'Thank god it was mostly physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that were being used when I was auditioning for things,' said Rogen. 'Because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world would end my career very, very fast I believe.' When pressed by Kimmel to share an example, Rogen recalled his audition for Gigli, Martin Brest's infamous 2003 crime/rom-com that starred Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez back when they were their first iteration of Bennifer. 'In Gigli, [Affleck and Lopez] are assassins who are sent to watch over a boy who—and this was not the words they used at the time—had a cognitive disability, let's say,' Rogen continued while Kimmel, clearly guessing where the story was going, struggled to compose himself. 'So I, as an aspiring young actor… I auditioned for this boy with a cognitive disability,' Rogen shared. 'And I don't think the script was written in what, by today's standards, would be the most sensitive portrayal of a boy with a cognitive disability. And I also, as a young actor, you know, I didn't get a lot of auditions. The movie was directed by Martin Brest, who did Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run. Great director. So I wanted to leave an impression.' At this point, Rogen himself was nearly speechless in recalling the details of what was clearly the mortifying kind of memory that would fit right in with the comedy of The Studio. 'I don't think I wore a helmet into the audition itself,' he said, 'but it was that play. And I'm tempted to do an impression of what I did, but I can't even do it. That's how bad it was. It's so bad, I dare not even portray what I did in this audition—'cause I went for it! I saw myself at the Oscars. I was like, 'This is the clip.'' 'Truthfully,' Rogen admitted, 'if that tape were out in the world today, this would be the last interview you ever saw me do—other than my apology tour.'Finally, Rogen addressed the camera and anyone who might be listening with an earnest plea: 'Please, if you have it: Burn it. Please!' The role in question, a young man named Brian, was ultimately played by Justin Bartha, in his first credited feature film role. Bartha would go on to star in National Treasure and The Hangover movies. Seth Rogen Reveals the Audition Tape That Would 'End' His Career first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 24, 2025
