Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially finalized their divorce, as confirmed by court documents. The dissolution comes nearly 20 weeks after Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, citing irreconcilable differences and listing April 26 as their date of separation.
The couple had rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in a small ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, later celebrating with friends and family in Georgia on August 20 of the same year. Lopez opted to file without legal representation and requested that neither party receive spousal support. She also indicated that the specifics regarding their shared assets and obligations remain to be determined. Additionally, Lopez has requested the restoration of her maiden name.
Though the divorce has been challenging, sources revealed that Lopez seemed “relieved” after filing, even expressing a desire to work through their issues, as the couple reportedly still loves each other. Meanwhile, Affleck is said to be doing well, focusing on his career and family life, suggesting a positive outlook for both parties.
Rumors of tension began circulating in May after the couple was seen apart for some time. Lopez spent much of the summer on the East Coast and abroad, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles, working on film projects. Despite their separate pursuits, they appeared together for family occasions, indicating a commitment to co-parenting.
Recently, Lopez made headlines at the Toronto International Film Festival and shared a reflective video update on her year, emphasizing her personal growth amid changes in her life. Her statement about handling challenges suggests a hopeful perspective moving forward.
As both Affleck and Lopez navigate this new chapter, it is clear that they are focusing on their careers and families while maintaining a positive outlook for the future.
