Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalize divorce
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially divorced, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The judgment comes nearly 20 weeks after the Unstoppable actress filed for a dissolution of marriage on Aug. 20.
The exes, who rekindled their romance in 2021, married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. They later celebrated their nuptials with a ceremony in Georgia in front of friends and family on Aug. 20, 2022.
Lopez filed for divorce exactly two years after the Georgia ceremony, listing April 26, as their date of separation and citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
She filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court without a lawyer, requesting no spousal support for either party, for attorney's fees to be split, and noted that the "exact nature" of their community, quasi-community assets, and separate property and obligations are "unknown" and "will be determined."
The star also requested that her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, be restored.
A week after she filed, Lopez seemed "relieved," according to a source close to the star, who added at the time, though, "She didn't want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out. They love each other. Jennifer is not the type to just give up."
At that same time, an additional source said Affleck appeared to be "doing well and is very focused" in the wake of the filing: "He thrives when he has work projects. He's been great when it comes to the kids too. He's doing exactly what he wants. He seems very happy."
Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Affleck, who was previously married to Jennifer Garner, shares three children with Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
