Actress Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Husband Affleck

American actress Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage.

Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday, August 20, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to court records. 

According to a source close to Lopez, the pair did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

The couple had rekindled their romance the year before and was married in July 2022.

Lopez and Affleck were engaged in the early 2000s, but they split up before getting married and spent the next 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 from 2005 to 2018. They have three children together.

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 recognise us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage."
