Entertainment magazine PEOPLE first broke the news about the finalized divorce after accessing court documents relating to the case. The documents show that the judgment on their divorce was finalized 20 weeks after Lopez requested it in August 2024. Therefore, the rollercoaster love story between the two Hollywood stars has ended once again.

Latest Update on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Divorce

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck do not seem fazed by their much-publicized divorce. Reports show that they’ve been happier afterward. One week after Jennifer Lopez approached the courts seeking a dissolution of the marriage, a source close to her said she was “relieved.”

According to the source, the “Shotgun Wedding” star did all she could to make the marriage work. “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,” the insider disclosed.

On the other end, things don’t seem to be any different for Ben Affleck. Reports have also indicated that he has been very much himself since the divorce saga. An insider with close ties with the actor and filmmaker said he is “doing well and is very focused.”

“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,” the source was quoted to have said. The divorce drama began on August 20, 2024.

On that Tuesday, Jennifer Lopez, 55, applied to the Los Angeles County Superior Court for the termination of the marriage contract. According to court records which journalists obtained at the time, she listed April 26, 2024, as the date of the separation. 

Interestingly, J.Lo didn’t seek the help of any lawyer. She filed the request herself and didn’t refer to any pre-nuptial agreement. Also, she didn’t ask for spousal support for any party. 

But she requested that they cover the attorney fees equally while stating that they are yet to fully understand the “exact nature” of both their shared and separate property. The Latino pop star didn’t stop there. She also requested a change of name, seeking to assume her former identity as Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

Why Are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Divorcing?

The reason for the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce is still a subject of speculation. Various sources have tendered a number of explanations. One source told journalists that Affleck grew uncomfortable with the massive media attention his ex-wife drew whenever they were together in public.

The source stated that Affleck’s discontent started as early as their honeymoon. “He was unhappy with the paparazzi following them,” the insider revealed. “He acted like it came as a surprise that they would be followed around.” 

The cracks in the marriage began to show in May 2024. Fans didn’t see the two together for many weeks after their last public outing together on March 30. Jennifer Lopez was pretty much alone as she shored up publicity for her film “Atlas.” Affleck was also noticeably absent when Lopez showed up for the Met Gala as the co-chair.

Also, he was spotted moving out of his California home alone in July 2024. Later on, reports also emerged that Jennifer Lopez was house-hunting. After many weeks of keeping a distance from each other, they were finally spotted together in a car in Santa Monica, California.

Affleck had picked up Lopez just outside the Aero Theatre. They also appeared together in Los Angeles’ West Hollywood area. Affleck reportedly still had his wedding ring on at the time. Afterward, they were together again for the graduation ceremony of Affleck’s daughter, Violet.

Afterward, they had their honeymoon in Paris. There, they also had a romantic dinner close to the Eiffel Tower to celebrate Lopez’s birthday. When they returned, they threw a party at Affleck’s compound in Georgia.

How Long Was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Relationship Compared to Her Other Serious Ones?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were together for a total of 5 years, including their marriage and relationship. Compared to Lopez’s other relationships and marriages, it was her second-longest romance. Her marriage to singer and actor Marc Anthony, which lasted 7 years, was the longest.

Before she began dating Ben Affleck in 2021, which later resulted in marriage, they had been together before. Jennifer Lopez first met Affleck in 2002 when they were cast in the romantic comedy “Gigli.” They dated for 2 years. Before that, she was with Ojani Noa, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Cris Judd. 

After she decided to move on from her first relationship with Ben Affleck in 2004, she was with Marc Anthony, Casper Smart, and rapper Drake. Afterward, she dated Alex Rodriguez for 4 years and even planned a marriage that never happened. Afterward, she reunited with Affleck and finally married him before she filed for the divorce, which has now been reportedly finalized.
