Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially split up. The 55-year-old pop singer filed for divorce from the 52-year-old Oscar winner on Tuesday, August 20, after two years of marriage. The divorced couple was supposed to celebrate their second wedding anniversary last month.
TMZ was the first to report this. According to the publication, J. Lo listed the date of separation from Ben as April 26, 2024. Additionally, she filed for a «pro per» statement, meaning she filed for divorce without a lawyer.
In her statement, Jennifer did not indicate whether she and her now ex-husband had a prenuptial agreement, according to the publication.
The divorce filing came after months of speculation about their marital status. In the spring, fans noticed that the stars of the movie «Gigli» had not been photographed together for over a month after the release of her film «Marry Me» and the documentary «The Greatest Love Story Never Told». Eventually, several publications reported on troubles in paradise.
Although they seemed to dispel breakup rumors when they were seen together several times, Jennifer dodged questions about her marriage at the premiere of «The Atlas». In May, a journalist insisted that the actress talk about the status of her and Ben’s relationship, to which J. Lo replied, «You know better». At the end of the month, the «Jenny from the Block» hitmaker canceled her 2024 tour. According to an announcement in her OnTheJLo newsletter, the multi-talented star explained to fans that she «wouldn't do this if she didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary», while Live Nation noted in a separate statement that Jennifer is «taking a break to be with her children, family, and close friends».
Ben and Jennifer put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale in the summer. And on her 55th birthday in July, the «Argo» actor reportedly bought a new home in California, while the «On the Floor» singer celebrated her special day on the other side of the country in the Hamptons. However, earlier this month, Jennifer was spotted visiting Ben on his 52nd birthday.
The couple, known as «Bennifer», - was one of Hollywood’s most famous love stories. Falling in love in 2002, Ben and Jennifer got engaged, and the co-star of the film «Good Morning, Miss Goodwin» even appeared in the music video for Selena’s star «Jenny from the Block». The couple starred together again in the 2004 film «Jersey Girl». However, by that time they had already called off their engagement and split up. Over 20 years later, they rekindled their relationship in 2021.
Neither Jennifer nor Ben have publicly commented on their impending divorce
