Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially finalized their divorce, which was initiated by Lopez on August 20, 2024, marking the end of their brief marriage. The couple, famously known for their on-again, off-again relationship, first got engaged in the early 2000s before breaking up in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021, eventually marrying in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. A grand celebration followed in Georgia in August 2022, where they were surrounded by friends and family.
Lopez filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, citing irreconcilable differences and listing April 26 as their date of separation. Notably, Lopez filed without an attorney and requested that the judge waive spousal support for either party. She also asked for her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, to be restored and noted that the specifics of their assets would be determined later.
Despite the personal split, Lopez and Affleck remain professionally connected, with Lopez starring in projects produced by Affleck, including Unstoppable and Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Affleck’s previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children, remains a notable part of his personal life, while Lopez shares her twins, Emme and Max, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony.
