Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage, citing April 26, 2024, as their separation date. The couple, who rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in 2022, did not have a prenuptial agreement. Despite ongoing financial discussions, Lopez waived spousal support and filed without a lawyer.
In a surprising turn of events, Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their two-year marriage. The news broke on August 20, 2024, coinciding with the second anniversary of their more traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia. Lopez, who submitted the divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, chose to represent herself in the proceedings, a move that has caught many by surprise.
The couple's relationship, famously dubbed "Bennifer", has been one of Hollywood's most talked-about love stories. After first meeting on the set of the film Gigli in 2002, they became a media sensation, getting engaged later that year. However, the intense media scrutiny led to their breakup in 2004, just days before their planned wedding. Seventeen years later, they rekindled their romance, much to the delight of fans, and tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022.
Despite their storied romance, the last few months have seen increasing speculation about trouble in paradise. Reports of the couple spending less time together and Lopez's decision to cancel her 2024 tour added fuel to the rumors. The divorce filing, which lists April 26, 2024, as their date of separation, confirms that their relationship had indeed been on the rocks for some time.
One of the more surprising aspects of the filing is the absence of a prenuptial agreement. This decision could complicate the division of assets, given both stars' considerable wealth and successful careers. However, Lopez has waived any claim to spousal support and has asked the court to deny any such claims from Affleck as well.
The couple, who did not have any children together, are expected to continue negotiating the terms of their financial settlement. Despite the ongoing tensions, both Lopez and Affleck are expected to remain focused on their respective careers and families as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
The end of Bennifer 2.0 has left many fans nostalgic for the couple's earlier years, but it also serves as a reminder of the challenges of maintaining a relationship under the constant glare of the public eye. As they move forward separately, both Lopez and Affleck will undoubtedly continue to captivate audiences around the world with their enduring star power.
