Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially divorced, with court documents confirming the dissolution of their marriage following Jennifer’s filing on August 20. The couple had tried to rekindle their romance, marrying in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, and celebrating with a larger ceremony in Georgia later that year. However, the separation date was noted as April 26, exactly two years after their Georgia ceremony, citing irreconcilable differences.
Jennifer filed for divorce without legal representation while requesting no spousal support and the division of attorney fees. She expressed uncertainty over their assets, which she stated would need to be clarified later, and also requested to revert to her maiden name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
According to sources, shortly after the filing, Lopez felt relieved but also had hoped to resolve their issues, emphasizing that she did not want to end the marriage as love still remained between them. In contrast, Affleck was reported to be doing well, focusing on his work and being actively involved with his children.
The months leading up to the divorce saw speculation about their marriage’s strain, particularly when they were spotted apart for extended periods. Lopez’s busy promotion schedule for her projects and Affleck’s commitment to filming “The Accountant 2” further contributed to their physical separation during the summer. However, they did maintain familial ties, recently enjoying a lunch with their children together.
As she reflected on the tumultuous year, Lopez highlighted her personal growth and resilience through her changes, advocating for the importance of embracing emotions and moving forward.
This chapter may have closed for the couple, but it presents an opportunity for both Jennifer and Ben to embrace new beginnings, focusing on their individual careers and families. With each navigating their paths, there remains a sense that love can evolve even out of challenging circumstances.
