Jennifer Lopez Files Divorce Against Ben Affleck

Both the 55-year-old Jennifer Lopez and 52-year-old Ben Affleck married in Las Vegas in July 2022, after they had been dating again since 2021. This means that Bennifer rekindled their relationship from two decades ago when they were the fixation of extensive media coverage during the early 2000s. Following their wedding in July 2022, the couple held a large wedding ceremony in Georgia on August 20, 2022—exactly two years ago. So, is it really a coincidence that Jennifer Lopez filed for a divorce from Ben Affleck on that exact date?

It would also appear that the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce documents don’t mention any prenuptial agreement, and those close to the matter confirm the lack of any such legal arrangement. This means that whatever earnings, profit, and property the two have acquired or earned during their two years of marriage is common property—an equal split. We’re talking about massive amounts of money here, especially since Affleck made three or four films during the course of the marriage, and Lopez made the same.

In financial terms, it doesn’t really matter who made more; the lack of a prenup means that all stuff is shared equally among former spouses. Curiously enough, this is Jennifer Lopez’s fourth and Ben Affleck’s second marriage, and one would think that a prenup would be more than obvious in these situations, but apparently, that wasn’t a thing. According to the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce documents, the former waived any spousal support and is currently asking the judge to deny such support for the latter as well.

Custody issues were non-existent in Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce since the couple didn’t have any children together. Lopez shared two children with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, while Ben Affleck has three children with his ex-wife, Deadpool 3‘s Jennifer Garner. However, it seems that not all the financial issues have been addressed by the two. The two have put their marital home in Beverly Hills up for sale, and Ben has bought a house of his own in Brentwood, with J Lo looking for a house as well.

It would also seem that the two have been trying to iron out the creases in a settlement deal for months now, and both of them are becoming increasingly acrimonious, to the point of not even speaking to one another. The reason behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce remains a mystery for now, but it’s important to note that this is a developing story, and other details might be uncovered or shared by the stars themselves. Given their track record, is it safe to assume that the Bennifer saga will continue sometime into the 2040s?
