Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the power couple who tied the knot in July 2022, are reportedly heading for divorce. Lopez, who had legally adopted the name Jennifer Lynn Affleck after their marriage, has now filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation.
The couple’s whirlwind romance, culminating in a Las Vegas wedding on July 16, 2022, followed by a larger celebration at Affleck’s estate in Georgia, captivated fans worldwide. However, recent reports confirm that the two have begun divorce proceedings, with Lopez filing the court documents pro per, meaning she did so without legal representation.
In the divorce papers, Lopez has also indicated her intention to revert to her maiden name, Jennifer Lopez. The date of separation has been listed as April 26, further fueling speculation that the split had been in the works for some time.
This development marks the end of what many saw as a Hollywood fairytale, with the couple’s rekindled romance making headlines when they reunited nearly two decades after their first engagement. As they navigate this difficult period, fans and followers are left to reflect on the ups and downs of their relationship, while Lopez prepares to embrace her identity as Jennifer Lopez once again.
