Jennifer Lopez, the multi-hyphenate entertainer known for her work as a singer, actress, and producer, has officially filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. The filing was made on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, and the details have since come to light.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday, August 22, Lopez, 55, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the primary reason for the split. In her legal request, Lopez also asked for her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, to be restored.
The court documents further reveal that Lopez is not seeking spousal support from Affleck, 52, nor does she want him to be awarded any support. This indicates that both parties may be opting for an amicable separation without financial entanglements.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has been the subject of media attention since they first rekindled their romance after nearly two decades apart. The couple married in a private ceremony two years ago, marking a new chapter in their storied history.
As the details of their divorce continue to unfold, fans of both stars will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how the situation develops.
