Roomies, it’s official: Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. Furthermore, the singer’s filing arrives on the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony.
According to TMZ, Lopez officially filed the documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Furthermore, the outlet noted that unlike most filings — usually made on the client’s behalf by an attorney — Lopez did this one herself.
To raise eyebrows even further, the outlet notes that Lopez’s filing today arrives on the second anniversary of her and Ben’s second wedding ceremony. Page Six notes that the pair initially eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022. However, on August 20, 2022, the pair officially tied the knot with a wedding ceremony in Georgia.
Furthermore, per TMZ, Lopez has reportedly listed her and Affleck’s date of separation as April 26, 2024. Additionally, the singer’s documents reportedly do not state whether she and Affleck have a prenuptial agreement. Sources have reportedly informed the outlet that there is none in place.
“That would mean whatever earnings, or profit, Ben and Jen made during their nearly 2 years of marriage is community property,” the outlet states.
Lastly, TMZ notes that Lopez has reportedly waived her interest in spousal support and is allegedly asking a judge “to deny Ben such support as well.”
Social media users have reacted to Lopez’s divorce filing in The Shade Room’s comment section. To note, this marks the nearing end of the singer’s fourth marriage and Affleck’s second.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Lopez announced her engagement to Affleck in April 2022. The pair had reportedly rekindled their romance the year earlier after dating and even getting engaged in the early 2000s.
Then, in July of that year, J. Lo confirmed that she and Affleck walked down the aisle in a Las Vegas ceremony, per The Shade Room.
“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” she wrote in a newsletter reportedly sent to her fans at the time.
Fast forward, to earlier this year, reports surfaced that Lopez and her husband were living separately, per The Shade Room. However, in May, the pair were spotted together and this appeared to quell speculation about their impending split.
Later that month, Lopez even went viral for checking a reporter who asked about her and Affleck possibly separating, per The Shade Room.
