Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially ended their marriage, with court documents confirming the finalization of their divorce nearly 20 weeks after Lopez filed for dissolution on August 20, 2024. The news comes just over two years after the couple tied the knot in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony, later hosting a grander celebration in Georgia.
The couple’s rekindled romance, which began in 2021, captured public attention as they merged their high-profile lives. However, the union reportedly faced challenges, leading Lopez to cite irreconcilable differences in her filing. According to documents submitted to the Los
Angeles County Superior Court, the actress did not request spousal support and sought an equitable division of attorney fees.
A source close to her revealed, “She didn’t want the divorce; she wanted to work things out. They love each other deeply.” Another insider noted that Affleck was “doing well” and focusing on work and his family, describing him as thriving under the structure of his professional commitments.
Rumors of marital strain surfaced in May 2024 when the pair were rarely seen together. During that time, Lopez actively promoted her Netflix project Atlas, often attending events solo, including the Met Gala. Meanwhile, Affleck dedicated himself to filming The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.
Despite their separation, Jeniffer tuand Affleck demonstrated a shared commitment to family. In June, they reunited for Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation. Later, in September, the former couple attended a family lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their children, signaling an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Reflecting on her experience, Lopez recently shared her perspective in a video montage posted on social media. “In my low moments, I’ve learned to feel the feelings and let them go,” she stated, emphasizing her resilience. The actress expressed pride in her ability to navigate personal and professional challenges independently.
Lopez and Affleck each have children from their previous marriages. Lopez shares 16-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck co-parents three children with actress Jennifer Garner.
Despite their romantic split, their mutual respect and dedication to family suggest a hopeful path forward
