Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have filed for divorce after two years of marriage. The couple, often referred to as “Bennifer,” tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 and held a larger ceremony in Georgia the following month. Their relationship, marked by a romantic reunion after a nearly two-decade separation, has been the subject of much public interest.
Lopez initiated the divorce proceedings on Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to court documents obtained by the BBC. The couple’s separation has been rumoured for several months, with reports of them putting their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale and being seen separately without their wedding rings.

The court filing indicates that Lopez has requested a dissolution of their marriage, but no details regarding a prenuptial agreement were disclosed. Both parties are required to share financial information, including income, expenses, properties, and debts, as part of the divorce proceedings. The court has given Lopez 60 days to file a financial disclosure, and Affleck will have another 60 days to submit his information. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in court-imposed sanctions.
