Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck after 2 years of marriage

Bennifer 2.0 is over.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on Tuesday after two years of marriage, Page Six can confirm.

According to TMZ, who was first to report the news, Lopez filed pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney.

Tuesday also marks the two-year anniversary of the pair’s lavish Georgia wedding ceremony, which they held after eloping in Las Vegas in July 2022.

The singer listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.

Lopez did not say in her filing whether she and the actor have a prenuptial agreement in place, with sources telling the outlet that they do not have one.

She went on to waive spousal support and asked the judge to deny Affleck such support as well.

Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, first sparked breakup rumors in May 2024 amid reports that they started going to couples therapy.

Although neither Lopez nor Affleck addressed the speculation, the “Air” actor was spotted without his wedding ring a week later, seemingly confirming there was trouble in paradise.

TMZ also reported that Affleck no longer lived in their Beverly Hills mega-mansion.

According to the outlet, the Oscar winner had been seen staying at a house in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles for about a week — despite it being nearly 30 minutes from their Beverly Hills home.

He was photographed coming and going from the property without the “Jenny from the Block” singer on numerous occasions.

Attentive fans later realized the pair hadn’t been photographed together in over a month and a half.

Soon after, Page Six learned that Affleck was “house-hunting” in the area.

Meanwhile, the “Wedding Planner” actress was also photographed touring homes in Los Angeles alongside her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, in mid-May.

A source told us at the time that Affleck would “divorce on grounds of temporary insanity” if he could because he finally came “to his senses” following what felt like a “fever dream.”

In June, Lopez took a solo vacation to Italy, while her beau remained in Los Angeles.

She enjoyed time on a luxury yacht before traveling to Paris for the Dior fashion show.

While the mom of two was in Europe, Affleck reportedly moved all of his belongings out of their Beverly Hills home.

The divorce rumors ramped up when the couple listed their marital home on the market in July.

The couple listed the 38,000-square-foot new home, which features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a full basketball court, for $68 million — nearly $8 million more than what they paid when they bought it in 2023.

The “On the Floor” singer and the “Good Will Hunting” star reportedly paid all cash for the pricey property — which was originally listed for $135 million in 2018.

Ahead of Fourth of July weekend, Lopez jetted off to the Hamptons to enjoy time with family — including Affleck’s daughter Violet.

The pop star and the teen were spotted walking with their arms wrapped around each other in Southampton, NY, on July 14 and were seen at the East Hampton Antiques & Design Show outside the Historic Mulford Farm Museum the day prior.

Lopez and Affleck also spent their second wedding anniversary apart.

On their special day, the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer drove around with her longtime manager, Benny Medina, in the Hamptons while the “Argo” actor arrived at his LA office.

Affleck was not present for any of his wife’s 55th birthday activities, including her “Bridgerton”-themed party and her private lunch at Arthur & Sons in the Hamptons.

However, he did spend Lopez’s birthday purchasing a new $20 million LA mansion.
