Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck and has requested a name change in the process. The paperwork filed by Lopez on August 20 detailed her request to restore her name to Jennifer Lynn Lopez, as opposed to Jennifer Lynn Affleck. She also asked the state to deny both her and Ben the opportunity to collect spousal support, as the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement. The couple had been married for two years before the filing, with rumors of marital issues circulating for months leading up to it.
Ben Affleck was out of town when Lopez filed for divorce, with the reason listed as irreconcilable differences in the court documents. The couple first met in the early 2000s and had previously been engaged before breaking up in 2004. Following that breakup, both went on to marry other people and have children. Lopez married Marc Anthony in 2004 and had twins before divorcing in 2014, while Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005 and also had children before their divorce in 2018.
The news of Lopez and Affleck’s divorce has been met with interest and speculation, given their history and previous relationships. Lopez has been in the public eye for her high-profile relationships, including a failed engagement to Alex Rodriguez. As further updates become available, fans are eager to see how both Lopez and Affleck navigate this next chapter in their lives.
