Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are set to divorce their marriage after two years, as confirmed by documents filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday. The couple, who were famously dubbed “Bennifer” by the media, first tied the knot in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a grand celebration in Georgia the following month.
The couple’s relationship dates back to 2003 when they met on the set of the film Gigli. Despite planning a wedding that same year, they split in early 2004, only to reignite their romance nearly 20 years later. Reflecting on their renewed relationship, Lopez remarked in 2022, “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.” Now Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce news comes as shocker to many of their fans.
The court documents indicate that Lopez or her attorney will need to serve Affleck with the divorce papers. Although Lopez had legally taken Affleck’s surname, her petition does not mention any prenuptial agreement.
As part of the divorce proceedings, both Jennifer Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, are required to provide detailed financial disclosures, including their income, expenses, properties, and debts. The court mandates that they continue updating this information until all financial matters are resolved. Lopez has 60 days to submit her financial disclosure, after which Ben Affleck will have an additional 60 days to respond.
Their relationship has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months. Reports suggested that they had listed their Beverly Hills mansion for sale at $65 million, and they were both seen in public without their wedding rings.
