Hollywood couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s highly publicized marriage has come to an end after two years. According to court documents, Lopez, 55, submitted a divorce filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, marking the conclusion of a romance that began 20 years ago on the set of the 2003 film ‘Gigli’. The couple, affectionately known as “Bennifer” by the media and fans, had a whirlwind relationship that garnered intense scrutiny and attention from the public and tabloids alike.
After initially planning to wed in 2003, the couple parted ways in early 2004. Nearly two decades later, Lopez and Affleck reignited their romance, leading to a marriage in Las Vegas in July 2022. A month afterward, they commemorated their union with a grander celebration in Georgia.
In reminiscing about their revived love, Lopez famously remarked, “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient.
Twenty years patient,” following their Las Vegas wedding. Court papers revealed that Lopez, who had legally changed her name to Affleck, did not include specifics of a prenup in her divorce filing. Both Lopez and Affleck, aged 52, must share financial details like income, expenses, assets, and debts during the process.
Lopez has 60 days to submit financial information, followed by Affleck’s 60-day window. The documents also state that failure to disclose or update financial data could lead to court penalties. Representatives for the couple had not commented on the divorce petition.
Rumors about their relationship had been circulating recently. They reportedly put their Beverly Hills home on the market for $65 million and were frequently seen without their wedding rings. Affleck, who has won the Oscar twice, was formerly wed to actress Jennifer Garner, and they have three kids together.
Lopez has tied the knot four times, including marriages to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and singer Marc Anthony, with whom she has twins. She was also engaged to New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez..
