The Hustlers star wrote on her newsletter at the time: "We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient."
Unfortunately, the split comes after months of breakup rumours.
J.Lo cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the forthcoming divorce, which 'simply means that people don't get along anymore', according to Slater + Gordon.
Her filing also reportedly requested that she is able to drop 'Affleck' from her name, opting instead to use her maiden name 'Jennifer Lynn Lopez'.
Recently, the singer starred in the film Unstoppable which was produced by Damon and Affleck’s company, Artists Equity.
The film is a biopic about wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and in 2011, won a NCAA national championship.
Jennifer stars as the wrestler's mother Judy Robles in the movie, which landed well with audiences and earned a standing ovation from the TIFF crowd.
The film premiered at TIFF on Friday (6 September), with J.Lo and Matt in attendance while Ben was a no-show, as per PEOPLE.
As per Page Six, photos show the pair talking at the afterparty, which was held at EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton.
A source told PEOPLE: "Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation," further claiming that Matt and Jennifer laughed and 'spoke more seriously' while holding hands for 'several minutes'.
Speaking about her role in Unstoppable, J.Lo said in a Q&A: "I think it was my job really to help her feel safe.
"Both of them, Anthony and Judy, to feel safe and kind of put this in our hands and trust us with all the information that they could give us and know that we wouldn't misuse it in any way, but only use it to tell their story in the best and most beautiful way that it deserved.
"Because it is one of the most beautiful, most inspiring stories I think I've ever seen on screen."
Tyla has contacted Jennifer and Matt's representatives for comment.
