Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce has officially been finalized, marking the end of their two-year marriage. The superstar duo tied the knot in July 2022, but the relationship came to an end when Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024. After a mediation settled their divorce, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved the agreement on January 6, with the divorce becoming official on February 21, following California’s mandatory six-month waiting period.
Their relationship was not without its ups and downs, as this was the second time the couple had been together. In the early 2000s, they first met, fell in love, and even starred in films together, such as “Gigli” and “Jersey Girl.” However, they parted ways in 2004, citing the pressures of fame. Despite the challenges they faced in the past, Lopez and Affleck eventually rekindled their romance two decades later and decided to get married.
As their divorce proceedings come to a close, it is important to note that neither star will be paying spousal support to the other. Moreover, since they do not have any children together, custody matters were not a part of the settlement. Lopez will also be removing Affleck from her legal name, signifying the end of this chapter in her life. Affleck, who was previously married to Jennifer Garner and shares three children with her, and Lopez, who has been married four times and shares twins with singer Marc Anthony, are now moving forward with their lives separately.
The news of their divorce has been met with mixed emotions from fans who have followed their journey over the years. Despite the challenges they faced in their relationship, many were hopeful that their love would stand the test of time. The public reunion of Lopez and Affleck following their split was a moment that captured the attention of many, as they were seen together with their children at The Beverly Hills Hotel, showcasing a united front despite the end of their marriage.
Moving forward, both Lopez and Affleck will embark on new chapters in their lives, as they navigate the complexities of divorce and separation in the public eye. While their relationship may have come to an end, the impact they have had on each other’s lives and on their fans cannot be understated. As they move forward with grace and dignity, they serve as a reminder that even in the face of heartache, there is hope for new beginnings and brighter tomorrows.
