Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: The Divorce Background
This was the primary factor leading to their separation. According to "Page Six", the reason cited in the documents was "irreconcilable differences". Lopez provided the separation date as April 26, 2023. It is evident from the records that Lopez does not wish to claim spousal support, nor does she seek Affleck to make any payments. It's unclear from the court documents whether the couple had a prenup, as reported by "TMZ".
Lopez also expressed her intention to surrender Affleck's last name. Upon marrying the actor, she became Jennifer Lynn Affleck legally, but continued to be recognized as Jennifer Lopez in the public sphere. In an interview with "Vogue" in November 2022, a few months post-wedding, she mentioned, "People will still address me as Jennifer Lopez, but legality-wise, I'll be Mrs. Affleck as we are united. We are man and wife. I take pride in that. I don't view it as an issue."
She Desires to relinquish His Name
At the time of her decision to adopt his name, she termed it as "romantic" and "traditional". For over a fortnight, gossips regarding Lopez and Affleck's marriage had been circulating. While she was on the East Coast, primarily in the Hamptons, Affleck was predominantly in Los Angeles on the West Coast. Even Affleck missed Lopez's grand "Bridgerton"-themed birthday celebration in late July.
Their separation occurred in 2004, and they reunited more than a decade later. Shortly after, they got married, but now, two years later, they've parted ways.
