Wednesday, August 21, 2024 - American actress, Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after 2 years of marriage.
Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday,
August 20, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to
court documents. A source close to Lopez
said the couple did not have a prenup.
The former lovers married in July
2022 after having rekindled their relationship the previous year.
Lopez and Affleck were engaged in the
early 2000s but broke up before they were married and then spent a long 17
years apart.
The actress was married from 2004 to
2014 to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares her two children, and she was
engaged to New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez in 2019 before they broke up in 2021.
In total, Lopez has been married four
times. During this period, Affleck married actor Jennifer Garner in 2005 to
2018. They have three children together.
Lopez announced in April 2022
that she and Affleck were once again engaged, 20 years after the first
proposal. They married on July 16, 2022, and got a marriage license from Clark
County, Nevada, court records show.
The couple married in Las Vegas and
arrived at the chapel just before midnight to wait in line with four other
couples, according to Lopez’s fan newsletter, the J Lo, which blasted out the
news just after the ceremony.
"We did it," the
report said. "Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front
of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their
daughter’s second birthday — all of us wanting the same thing — for the world
to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the
ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage."
The pair said at the time that
"it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed
of long ago and one made real."
Rumors began to surface in May that
the couple was heading for divorce as tabloids reported that they hadn't been
seen together in weeks and that Affleck had moved out of their home, which was
then put up for sale, before he moved into his own home.
