- Singer Jennifer Lopez initiates divorce proceedings.
Jennifer Lopez, age 55, filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck, 52, on August 20. Multiple sources confirms this information, including "People" magazine and "TMZ". According to "People", Lopez filed the divorce papers at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, listing the separation date as April 26, 2024.
The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and followed it up with a larger ceremony in Georgia on August 20, 2022. Lopez reportedly chose the second anniversary of these celebrations to file for divorce, after months of rumors about the health of their marriage.
No prenup in sight?
According to "TMZ", no information regarding a prenuptial agreement between the pair is included in the divorce documents. Sources suggest that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, which means that any income or earnings made during their almost two-year marriage would be considered shared property.
Heartache for J.Lo
For Lopez, the divorce seems to be a tough pill to swallow. An insider told "People": "She really gave it her all and is heartbroken. The children remain her top priority, as always."
In a further report by "People", a source claimed that Affleck gave no indications that he wanted to save the marriage. "He showed no interest or engagement in making it work," it stated. Lopez has thus reached the painful conclusion that "it's time to move on."
Hollywood's power couple reunited in 2021, seventeen years after they ended their engagement and canceled their planned September 2003 wedding. They got engaged again in 2022 and tied the knot that same summer. Affleck was previously married once, while Lopez has been married three times.
Lopez has twins, Max and Emme (16), from her marriage to Marc Anthony (55), which lasted from 2004 to 2014. Affleck shares three children, Violet (18), Fin (15), and Samuel (12), with Jennifer Garner (52), who he was married to between 2005 and 2018.
In the absence of a prenuptial agreement, any income or earnings made during Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's almost two-year marriage would be considered shared property, as per reports from TMZ. Due to this divorce filing, Jennifer Lopez seems to be experiencing heartache, prioritizing her children while moving forward according to sources mentioned in People.
