Hollywood Power Couple Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are Getting Divorced

Hollywood power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are headed for divorce after two years of marriage, the second time the two were in a relationship.

Lopez filed for the divorce herself on Tuesday in L.A. and did not use an attorney, TMZ reported. She listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.

According to the report, Lopez choosing to file the divorce on August 20 potentially carried some significance because they held a large wedding ceremony in Georgia exactly two years ago for their family and friends.

TMZ said that there did not appear to be any kind of a prenup agreement in place and that money issues between the two have not yet been settled.

The report added that she decided to be the one to file for divorce despite not having everything settled in terms of who gets what because there of “PR concerns.”

TMZ reported earlier this summer that the two were quietly selling the mansion they bought together in Beverly Hills after they got married.

Affleck and Lopez first met in early 2002 on the set of the crime comedy “Gigli” while Lopez was married to Cris Judd.

In July 2002, Affleck and Lopez were spotted kissing at her birthday party. Two days later, she filed for a divorce from Judd.

By November of that year, the two were engaged and set to be married the following year. However, just one day before their wedding in September 2003, they decided to push back the wedding date, citing “excessive media attention.”

“When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realized that something was awry,” they said at the time. “We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised. We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families and our friends.”

By January 2004, they decided to call off the wedding and the two went their separate ways for the next 17 years until they rekindled their relationship in early 2021 following a series of failed relationships that each had dealt with in recent years.
