Fast forward to 2021, Lopez broke off her engagement to former Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez after accusations of cheating began to surface.
Lopez and Affleck were spotted out and about just days later. In April 2022, they announced their engagement for a second time, this time actually walking down the aisle that very same 12 months in July.
It’s unclear what the true reason for the split is, as Lopez cited only “irreconcilable differences” in court documents. Some point to the intense scrutiny of their relationship, as Affleck prefers to be quite private and doesn’t even have social media accounts. Others consider it was Lopez’s strict rules that led to it.

He is reportedly a clean freak, in keeping with a 2023 report. reportEven with the assistance of housekeepers, Lopez wants people to wash up after themselves. She also reportedly had a strict weight-reduction plan and workout plan, and one other rule that forbade her dates from smoking and limited them to a few drinks per night. This rule likely didn’t go down well with Affleck, as he’s been out and in of rehab for alcohol addiction several times over time.
