Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially filed for divorce, marking the end of their two-year marriage. The announcement, which came on their second wedding anniversary, has sparked a significant increase in interest in Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Within 24 hours of the divorce filing, the documentary’s viewership on Prime Video skyrocketed by nearly 3,000%, according to Luminate’s data reported by Billboard. The film, which details Lopez’s journey of self-discovery and her rekindled romance with Affleck, saw a surge from 10.7k minutes watched to an astounding 354.1k minutes in just one day.
The documentary, released in February 2024, offers an intimate look at Lopez’s life, capturing her struggles and triumphs as she navigates both her personal and professional worlds. In the film, Lopez candidly discusses the public’s perception of her past relationships and her journey towards self-love. The couple, famously dubbed “Bennifer,” initially dated in the early 2000s, got engaged, but split in 2004. They reunited in 2021 and married in July 2022. However, citing “irreconcilable differences,” Lopez filed for divorce, with the official separation date listed as April 26, 2024.
This renewed interest in their story highlights the enduring public fascination with Lopez and Affleck’s complex relationship, even as they move on from their latest chapter together.
