Singer Jennifer Lopez Files For Divorce From Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their two-year marriage.

The pop icon, 55, and the Hollywood actor, 52, were previously engaged in the early 2000s, but parted ways before reconciling in 2021. Despite rekindling their romance, the couple has now decided to separate.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Lopez filed the legal papers on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in L.A. County Superior Court without legal representation. Interestingly, this date coincides with the second anniversary of their elaborate Georgia wedding, which took place just two months after their initial Las Vegas ceremony.

The legal filings indicate that the couple separated on April 26, 2024. Although the divorce documents reportedly do not mention a prenuptial agreement, TMZ sources claim there was never one in place.

Rumors of trouble between the pair have circulated for some time, but Lopez, who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony and is stepmother to Affleck’s children with Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—has remained silent on the matter. As recently as a few months ago, Lopez emphasized the “real, true love” that existed between her and Affleck, making the split all the more surprising.
