Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their two-year marriage. The paperwork was submitted in Los Angeles on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding that followed their elopement in Las Vegas in July 2022.
In her filing, Lopez listed April 26, 2024, as the separation date and did not mention a prenuptial agreement. She also requested that spousal support be waived for both parties, indicating a potentially amicable financial split.
Rumors of trouble started in May 2024 when Affleck was seen without his wedding ring and reportedly moved out of their Beverly Hills home to a property in Brentwood. The couple’s absence from public appearances added to the speculation about their failing marriage.
Concern grew when Lopez was seen house-hunting with her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, hinting at the relationship’s deterioration.
The couple faced challenges during the summer
In June, Lopez vacationed in Italy and attended the Dior fashion show while Affleck stayed in Los Angeles. Reports of Affleck moving out of their shared home intensified divorce rumors.
In July, the couple put their Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $68 million, signaling the end of their relationship.
After the breakup of “Bennifer 2.0,” both Lopez and Affleck, known for their previous high-profile relationships, move forward with their own histories and futures. Lopez was married to Marc Anthony and engaged to Alex Rodriguez, while Affleck shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The end of this celebrity relationship marks a new chapter for both Lopez and Affleck as fans speculate about what comes next.
