Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split after just two years of marriage. The couple, who first tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 and later celebrated with a lavish wedding in Georgia, had been the subject of much public attention, especially after rekindling their romance nearly two decades after calling off their initial engagement. Lopez, heartbroken over the end of their relationship, has made it clear that her children remain her top priority.
The divorce filing, which Lopez submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, indicates that the couple separated in April 2024. Notably, the documents reveal that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, meaning their earnings from the past two years could be considered community property during the divorce proceedings. Additionally, Lopez has requested to drop Affleck’s surname from her legal name, reverting to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
Fans of the couple, who were excited about their reunion, are shocked by the sudden end of “Bennifer.” Lopez and Affleck had originally started dating after working together on the 2003 film Gigli and became engaged in 2022 before their surprise Las Vegas wedding. Despite the optimistic start, their marriage ultimately couldn’t withstand the challenges they faced.
Lopez has yet to make a public statement about the divorce, but the news has sparked widespread discussion and speculation about the reasons behind the split. The end of their marriage marks the conclusion of a highly publicized and much-loved Hollywood romance, leaving fans and observers alike saddened by the outcome.
