Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, 2024, exactly two years after their wedding celebration in Georgia. The divorce papers, filed by Lopez without legal representation in Los Angeles County Superior Court, cite ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split and state that the couple had been separated since April 26, 2024.The divorce filing comes after months of speculation about their relationship, with various sources citing differences in lifestyle preferences and Affleck’s reportedly negative attitude as contributing factors to the split. According to one source, ‘It was impossible to please him, deaf to Jennifer’s attempts to lift his spirits and help him move forward’. Another insider described Affleck as ‘selfish, sullen, impossible to please most of the time and negative’.Despite efforts to make the relationship work, including joint outings and support for each other’s children during their separation, the couple ultimately decided to end their marriage. A source close to Lopez stated, ‘She tried very hard to make it work and is heartbroken. The children are her top priority, as they always have been’.The divorce proceedings may be complicated by the lack of a prenuptial agreement, potentially making their combined wealth of $550 million subject to division as community property. Lopez has reportedly waived her right to spousal support. This financial aspect adds another layer of complexity to the high-profile split.Interestingly, it has come to light that Affleck had the phrase ‘not going anywhere’ engraved on Lopez’s $5 million engagement ring, a sentiment that now seems particularly poignant given the circumstances. The couple’s relationship, which spanned two decades and included a previous engagement in 2003, has once again come to an end, marking the closure of what many considered a fairytale reunion.
