Jennifer Lopez has officially submitted divorce papers to end her marriage with Ben Affleck.



 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially ending their marriage, as noted in the Los Angeles Superior Court records. Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday, coinciding with the anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Riceboro, Georgia, in 2022, following their elopement in Las Vegas a month earlier.

This separation follows reports of the couple living apart, Lopez's decision to cancel her summer tour to focus on family, and their listing of their Beverly Hills home for sale. CNN has reached out to representatives for comments from both Lopez and Affleck.

Their divorce marks another chapter in a high-profile romance that has spanned over two decades. The couple first met while filming the 2003 comedy "Gigli," where they portrayed criminals and eventually developed a romantic relationship.

Over the years, both stars married others and started families. Fans celebrated the return of "Bennifer" when they rekindled their relationship in 2021, and both seemed genuinely happy together. Affleck expressed in a December 2021 interview with The Wall Street Journal how he valued the way their relationship was handled and emphasized his commitment to honesty and authenticity.

Affleck proposed to Lopez in November 2002 with a custom 6.1-carat pink diamond ring. The couple was set to marry in September 2003 but postponed their wedding due to intense media scrutiny, officially splitting in January 2004.

After years apart, they went public with their relationship in July 2021, shortly after Lopez ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. Lopez described her renewed relationship with Affleck as a "beautiful love story" and expressed gratitude for their second chance.

In 2024, Lopez released a documentary titled "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," detailing her journey toward self-love and her music. In the film, Affleck mentioned learning to compromise with Lopez regarding their public and private lives.

Recently, the couple has been spotted on different coasts, with Lopez celebrating her birthday at a Bridgerton-themed party that Affleck did not attend. Lopez has two children with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
