Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck — court documents disclose major twists

The rumors about the trouble in the paradise turned out to be true as singer/actress Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck on the date of their second wedding anniversary, August 20. As per TMZ, Lopez filed legal documents Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court herself, without an attorney.

The date of their separation was listed April 26, 2024.

Further, TMZ revealed that there was no prenup, meaning everything the two A-listers made during their two years of marriage is community property. During those two years of Jen and Ben being a thing, he starred in Air and Hypnotic, and produced The Instigators, among the rest, while she landed roles in Shotgun Wedding, The Mother, This Is Me … Now, and Atlas.

According to the documents, Lopez has chosen not to seek any financial support from Ben Affleck as part of the divorce settlement, asking the judge to deny Affleck spousal support as well.

This, however, doesn’t mean the two have settled the money-related aspects that arose from their separation. As per TMZ, talks on the topic continue.

Speculation surrounding the ‘Bennifer’ relationship increased after the pair were caught on camera during a seemingly uncomfortable and tense exchange at the 2023 Grammy Awards. The photo of Affleck from the event in which he seemed to be bored had gone viral and people took it as yet another sign that their relationship was coming to an end.

Affleck has been said to have moved out of the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion earlier this year,although neither he nor Lopez commented on the matter. In fact, when asked about the rumors of their frail relationship by a journalist during a press conference in Mexico for her Netflix film, Atlas, in May, Lopez answered, “You know better than that.”

Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their engagement. Since then, their relationship has been in the public eye, particularly after she acknowledged that their previous relationship had “crumbled under the pressure.”
