Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez resigned from each other more than two years after their much-anticipated wedding.
According to court records, Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday. Lopez’s close friend said that the pair lacked a prenuptial agreement.
The divorce file was first reported by TMZ.
In July 2022, the long-term couple tied the knot after reigniting their romance the year before.
In the early 2000s, Lopez and Affleck were courting, but they split up before getting hitched and subsequently parted ways for a protracted 17 years.
Lopez shared two children with singer Marc Anthony, with whom she was married from 2004 to 2014. In 2019, Lopez became engaged to New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, although the two later broke up in 2021.
Lopez has been married four times in total.
Affleck wed actress Jennifer Garner in this time frame, which lasted from 2005 to 2018. Together, they are parents to three kids.
Vulture claims that Lopez and Affleck got engaged in November of 2002 after meeting on the “Gigli” shoot.
In 2004, two years later, Lopez declared their divorce.
Following their 2021 split, Lopez and Rodriguez were frequently spotted together in photos, which sparked speculation that they were dating again.
Twenty years after the initial proposal, Lopez and Affleck confirmed their engagement in April 2022. According to court records, they were married on July 16, 2022, and obtained a marriage license from Clark County, Nevada.
According to Lopez’s fan newsletter, the J Lo, which broke the news shortly after the ceremony, the couple was married in Las Vegas and arrived at the chapel just before midnight to queue up with four other couples.
“We succeeded,” the report stated. “Two males behind us clasped hands and held one another. A young couple from Victorville made the three-hour drive to celebrate their daughter’s second birthday in front of us. We all shared the same goal: for the world to acknowledge us as partners and to publicly express our love through the age-old, almost universal symbol of marriage.”
“It was the best possible wedding we could have imagined,” the couple remarked at the time. One that was real and one that we had long dreamed of.”
May saw the start of rumors that the pair was no longer together. Tabloids said that they hadn’t been spotted together for weeks and that Affleck had moved out of their house before it was listed for sale.
