Jennifer Lopez Officially Files for Divorce from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez, 55, has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, 52. She did so on August 20, their wedding anniversary, DailyMail reports. The legal documents state the separation date is April 26, 2024.

It is specified that the couple does not have a marriage contract. At the same time, according to insiders, the reason for their separation was allegedly a conflict over money.

The couple has not lived together for a long time, and on Lopez's birthday Affleck bought a new house. According to insiders, this was a "blow to the heart" for Jennifer and marked the "end of the relationship."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were engaged in 2002 but called off the engagement. The couple married in 2022, having rekindled their relationship a year before their wedding.

Rumors of the couple's divorce appeared several months ago. According to rumors, the problems in their relationship were caused by excessive attention to their couple, and according to other information, Jennifer did not like that Affleck started drinking again. They tried to save their marriage, and even Affleck's ex-wife Jennifer Garner tried to help them with this, but she eventually got tired of it, as insiders say.

Against the backdrop of this whole situation, Lopez has noticeably lost weight. According to insiders, Lopez is very upset because the press often calls her the culprit of the breakup: allegedly because Affleck was often sad in public around her, but smiled without her.
