<p id=”par-3_81″>Lopez went on to marry singer Marc Anthony. They share two children, and they ended their marriage in 2014. After another <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jennifer-lopez-said-relationship-alex-rodriguez-worked-met.html/”>engagement to Alex Rodriguez</a>, Lopez rekindled her romance with Affleck, who had divorced Jennifer Garner, in 2021. By April 2022, they were engaged, and they tied the knot that summer. By 2024, however, people began to speculate that there were problems in the relationship. In August of that year, Lopez filed for divorce. They finalized the divorce in early 2025.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-jennifer-lopez-and-ben-affleck-s-astrological-compatibility”>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s astrological compatibility</h2>
<p id=”par-4_53″>Lopez and Affleck’s astrological charts have a lot of similarities. They are both Leos, and they each have their moons in Scorpio. Leos are passionate, creative, and drawn to the spotlight; it’s not surprising that both Lopez and Affleck have sought out careers in the arts. The signs also have high sexual compatibility.</p>
<p id=”par-5_53″>Their Scorpio moons crave privacy, though. This can lead to a push and pull between them. Lopez leans more into her Leo side, while Affleck often retreats to his Scorpio. This will cause issues in the relationship. Still, there’s a definite fiery spark between them, which pulls them back to one another repeatedly.</p>

<p id=”par-6_28″>The push and pull has reportedly become an issue for them. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-escape-divorce.html/”>Lopez and Affleck remain connected</a> to one another through their children, who became close during their marriage. </p>
<p id=”par-7_17″>“Their children keep them connected, they just can’t escape each other,” a source told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-15985863/Jennifer-Lopez-Ben-Affleck-drama-selfie.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Mail</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-8_29″>They reportedly feel that they don’t work well as a romantic couple. It’s difficult to continually have to see one another, as it reminds them of what they lost.</p>
<p id=”par-9_36″>“She really doesn’t want to have to see Ben all the time,” the source said. “It is a reminder of what they lost, but she would do anything for her kids, so she sucks it up.”</p>
