Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially divorced: how the stars who twice failed to build a family live now
Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, whose love has captivated millions of fans around the world, have officially ended their relationship. Their marriage, which resumed in 2022 after a 22-year break, is now part of their history.
The official dissolution of the marriage took place almost 20 weeks after Jennifer Lopez filed the court documents. According to People, she filed an application with the Los Angeles County Superior Court without a lawyer, asking not to provide spousal support to either party.
The celebrity also asked to restore her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
The source reports that the actress was relieved after filing for divorce. However, J.Lo's family members claim that she did not want to end the marriage: "She wanted to sort things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the kind of person who just gives up."
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were married for two years. However, the stars had a relationship back in 2004, but broke up the day before the wedding. Later, the actors broke up without scandals and mutual accusations, assuring that they were just in a hurry and were not ready for the paparazzi's scrutiny. They soon began to build a new relationship.
However, in July 2022, it became known that the lovers secretly got married in Las Vegas. This time, the couple wanted to avoid publicity, so their wedding ceremony went off without prying eyes. However, their married life was scrutinized by journalists and fans. For example, Lopez and Affleck were married for less than two years, and on their second wedding anniversary, it became clear that things were not going well in their family. The celebrities spent these days separately from each other: the man bought a new house, and the woman filed for divorce.
Lopez cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce, which is often written when people don't want to go into the details of a breakup. The artist demanded to divide their property. The fate of the joint property is unknown.
However, now the former lovers are trying to show the public that they are doing well in life and, moreover, they managed to find a soul mate quite quickly after the breakup. Thus, the network began to discuss Jennifer Lopez's handsome bodyguard, who accompanied the actress almost everywhere. She went out in public with him, holding his hand.
Before that, Ben Affleck was suspected of having a new affair. Back in August 2024, he was spotted with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy. The couple spent time together, but they were in no hurry to publicize their relationship.
"They didn't have any flings while Ben was with Jennifer, but it's interesting for Kick's friends that as soon as the divorce was officially announced, Affleck suddenly started spending time with an old girlfriend whose family he considers royalty," an insider said.
