Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, 2024, marking the end of their two-year marriage, which began with a quick Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. The couple, known for their substantial combined wealth of approximately $640 million, reportedly entered their marriage without a prenuptial agreement, leading to potential disputes over community property, including their earnings and assets accumulated during their marriage. Lopez's assets are estimated at $400 million, while Affleck's are around $150 million. In her filings, Lopez waived spousal support and requested the same for Affleck, indicating a desire for an equitable split of their finances. Speculation regarding their separation had been rampant, especially after reports of living separately and Affleck's absence from significant events, including Lopez's birthday. Insiders suggest that the divorce could become contentious, with Lopez allegedly feeling Affleck had financially depended on her throughout their relationship.
