Jennifer Lopez Files For Divorce From Ben Affleck: A Hollywood Love Story Comes To An End

In a turn of events that has captured the attention of fans and media alike, renowned singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, famously known as J.Lo, has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Ben Affleck. The couple, whose romance has spanned over two decades, officially tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. However, just two years later, Lopez has taken the legal step to end their marriage, filing for divorce on August 20, 2024, at the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, first crossed paths in 2001 while filming the movie “Gigli.” Their on-screen chemistry quickly translated into a real-life romance, making them one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples in the early 2000s. Dubbed “Bennifer” by the media, their relationship was marked by intense public scrutiny and a high-profile engagement in 2002, which was eventually called off in 2004.
Both Lopez and Affleck went on to marry other partners—Lopez to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins, and Affleck to actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. Despite their separate paths, the former couple rekindled their romance nearly two decades later, leading to their much-anticipated wedding in 2022.
Lopez famously described their reunion as a testament to the enduring nature of love, stating, “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.” Yet, despite the optimism surrounding their reunion, rumors of trouble in paradise began to surface earlier this year. The couple had reportedly been living separately since April 2024, and speculation about their relationship grew when they were seen without their wedding rings and listed their Beverly Hills mansion for sale at $65 million.

The court documents reveal that Lopez, who had legally changed her last name to Affleck, did not include details of a prenuptial agreement in her divorce petition. The filing requires both parties to share comprehensive financial information, including income, expenses, properties, and debts, within a specified timeframe. Failure to do so could result in court-imposed sanctions.
As the world watches the unraveling of one of Hollywood’s most iconic love stories, the future remains uncertain for Lopez and Affleck. While their representatives have yet to comment on the divorce, the end of “Bennifer” marks the closing chapter of a relationship that has captivated audiences for over two decades.
