Rumors of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's alleged divorce had been circulating in the media for quite some time. TMZ reported that the singer filed the divorce papers on August 20, 2024, pro per, meaning she did it herself without a lawyer. Interestingly, it all happened two years after the couple's wedding ceremony.
The artist reportedly listed April 26, 2024, as the date of separation, and the divorce papers were filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court just a week after the star visited Affleck at his home, surprising him for his birthday. Meanwhile, according to "Daily Mail," the artist was spotted without his wedding ring when his wife filed the divorce papers.

The two-time Oscar winner was spotted in a Beverly Hills parking lot. Internet users immediately started debating what could have caused this situation. As usual, they divided into two "teams"—one defending the actor and the other defending the singer.
"It's a shame, there seems to be something wrong with him. She loves him," "The guy is finally free! I wish him a lot of happiness," "Soon he will be able to regain his privacy and peace" - read in the comments.
Jennifer Lopez did not disclose whether she and her husband had a prenuptial agreement, although both maintained that they did not. The singer was reportedly willing to forgo alimony from her husband but asked the judge to refuse support similar to Ben Affleck's. Let's remember that the singer and actor were married twice. Their first marriage was formalized in 2003 but ended just a year later.
