American actress Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. According to court documents, Lopez submitted the filing on Tuesday, August 20, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. A source close to Lopez revealed that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has been a long and storied one. The pair first got engaged in the early 2000s but called off their wedding and separated before ever walking down the aisle. After 17 years apart, they rekindled their romance in 2021, leading to a whirlwind engagement announcement in April 2022, 20 years after their initial proposal. They married just a few months later on July 16, 2022, securing a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada.
Their wedding took place in Las Vegas, with the couple arriving at the chapel just before midnight to exchange vows alongside other couples. Lopez shared the intimate details of their ceremony in her fan newsletter, “On the J Lo,” describing it as the wedding of their dreams, “one we dreamed of long ago and one made real.”
However, rumors of trouble began circulating in May 2024, when tabloids reported that Lopez and Affleck had not been seen together in weeks. Reports suggested that Affleck had moved out of their shared home, which was subsequently put up for sale, and had relocated to his own residence.
This marks the fourth marriage for Lopez, who was previously married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, with whom she shares two children. She was also engaged to former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez in 2019, but they broke up in 2021. Affleck, on the other hand, was married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they share three children.
As the couple navigates their separation, fans and followers are left reflecting on their tumultuous and high-profile relationship, which captured headlines for over two decades.
