Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially ending their marriage, as confirmed by a recent entry on the Los Angeles Superior Court docket.
Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Tuesday, exactly two years after their wedding ceremony in Riceboro, Georgia, which followed their elopement in Las Vegas just a month earlier.
The split follows reports that the couple had been living separately, Lopez had canceled her summer tour to focus on her family, and they had listed their Beverly Hills home for sale.
CNN has reached out to representatives for both Lopez and Affleck for further comment.
Their divorce brings another chapter to a high-profile love story that has captivated the public for decades. Lopez and Affleck’s relationship began over 20 years ago on the set of the film “Gigli,” where they first connected as co-stars before becoming a real-life couple.
Affleck and Lopez's relationship history is one that has been marked by significant public interest. The couple first got engaged in November 2002 when Affleck proposed with a stunning 6.1-carat pink diamond ring from Harry Winston. He also appeared alongside Lopez in the music video for her hit single "Jenny from the Block," which played on the intense paparazzi scrutiny they faced as a couple.
However, just days before their September 2003 wedding, they decided to postpone the event, citing the overwhelming media attention as the reason. By January 2004, they had officially ended their relationship.
When they rekindled their romance and went public on Instagram in July 2021, it felt like a fairytale comeback for fans. This reunion came just months after Lopez's split from baseball star Alex Rodriguez. Reflecting on their renewed relationship, Lopez told People magazine in April 2022, shortly before Affleck proposed again, "I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance."
In 2024, Jennifer Lopez released a documentary titled *The Greatest Love Story Never Told,* which chronicles her journey toward self-love and the making of her independently produced album *This Is Me… Now.* The film also delves into her relationship with Ben Affleck, with Affleck revealing that he had learned to "compromise" with Lopez regarding her desire to be more open about their private life.
Recently, the couple has been spotted living separate lives, with Lopez celebrating her birthday in late July with a Bridgerton-themed party, where Affleck was notably absent.
Lopez is a mother to two children from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children from his marriage to Jennifer Garner.
