Back in August, following months of rumours, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of a two-year marriage. Now, what sources have referred to as a “nightmare breakup” is finally over with TMZ reporting the couple have finalised their divorce.
When Lopez filed her divorce papers in Los Angeles in August she formally cited the separation date as April 26. It appears the divorce will not be embroiled in legal dramas, with Lopez allegedly not using a lawyer to file the papers. Speaking to People a source said Lopez was relieved the proceedings were over. “The fairy tale she was promised turned out to be a nightmare in the end.” Now, J.Lo is reportedly “in a really good place”, with the source saying the singer “just wants to close the door on this crazy chapter.”
At the time of the separation, a source told People, “She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken.”
This is the second time the couple has split, after famously dating in the early 2000s. Affleck and Lopez were engaged in 2003, and postponed their wedding that year before announcing a split in early 2004. Fans were excited when the two got back together in 2021, officially tying the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022. The two had a traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia on August 20. Whether planned or coincidental, the divorce was filed exactly two years from this date.
Neither Affleck nor Lopez has made an official statement.
Rumours of the divorce have been a long time coming, with media circulating reports the couple were living apart. Things really kicked-off when the couple reportedly engaged a real estate agent to sell their shared Beverly Hills mansion.
This was the second marriage for Affleck, 52, who was previously married to Jennifer Garner. Jennifer Lopez has been married four times to Okai Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony and Ben Affleck.
