- The rationale for the split is outlined in the divorce documentation.
Jennifer Lopez confessed to being a "love addict" and having an obsession with love in an interview once. The music artist has tied the knot four times, and she recently filed for divorce from her fourth spouse, film director Ben Affleck, just a few days ago.
The Truth Behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Divorce
Court papers reveal the reasons behind the couple's split. They cited "irreconcilable differences" as the cause, according to "Page Six". Lopez listed the date of separation as April 26, 2023. The papers also show that Lopez does not request spousal support and does not ask Affleck to provide any financial assistance. It is unclear from the court documents whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement, according to "TMZ".
Lopez also expressed her intention to drop Affleck's last name. She legally changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck after marrying the actor, but she continues to be known as Jennifer Lopez in public. "People will still call me Jennifer Lopez, but my legal name will be Mrs. Affleck because we belong together," she told "Vogue" in November 2022, a few months after their wedding. "We are husband and wife. I'm proud of that. I don't think it's a problem," she added.
She Wants to Drop His Name
Lopez explained her decision to take her husband's name as "romantic" and "traditional" at the time. Recently, there have been rumors about the state of Lopez and Affleck's marriage. While Lopez spent her summer on the East Coast, specifically in the Hamptons, Affleck was primarily on the West Coast in Los Angeles. Affleck also did not attend Lopez's big "Bridgerton"-themed birthday party in late July.
After separating in 2004, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their relationship more than 15 years later and got married. However, their marriage ended just two years later.
