Lopez and Affleck married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are calling it quits — again.

On Tuesday, Aug. 20, Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, more than two years after the couple married in July 2022, multiple sources confirmed. TMZ was first to report the news.

Lopez filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. She filed for divorce herself without using a lawyer and is technically self-represented. Although they married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022, Aug. 20 marked the second anniversary of the traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia.

The singer did not say if there was a prenuptial agreement, and sources told TMZ there is none.
“She tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken,” a source tells of Lopez. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”

Lopez and Affleck famously rekindled their romance in 2021, more than 17 years after they initially were engaged and postponed a planned September 2003 wedding. The pair officially broke up for the first time in January 2004 and remained friendly in the decade-plus between.

A rep for Lopez confirmed that she and Affleck were engaged in April 2022, and the pair held a surprise wedding in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022. They later held a larger wedding ceremony in Georgia on the grounds of Affleck’s 87-acre compound outside Savannah in August of that year, with Matt Damon, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell among the attendees. Podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty officiated Lopez and Affleck’s ceremony.
