In the court documents filed by Lopez in person at the L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday, the entertainer finally confirmed the exact date she and her estranged husband separated.
Lopez stated that she and Affleck went their separate ways on April 26, 2024. Prior to this month, rumors of marital woes between the former couple had already begun swirling, especially after they hadn’t been seen together in public for a long period of time.
Affleck suddenly stopped attending his wife’s film premieres and was particularly absent from the 2024 Met Gala, which Lopez was the co-chair of.
Subsequently, it was revealed that Affleck had moved out of their shared Beverly Hills mansion to stay in a rental home in Brentwood. The actor eventually removed his belongings from their marital home while Lopez was vacationing in Europe.
This move by Affleck was said to have left Lopez hurt over the state of their relationship.
Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Do Not Have A Prenuptial Agreement

Despite the fact that Affleck and Lopez have both gone through a divorce in the past, the actors seemingly opted not to get a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in 2022.
According to TMZ, Lopez’s divorce filing did not mention a prenup, and sources also confirmed to the news outlet that the pair never got one.
This means that Lopez, who is worth $400 million, and Affleck, who is worth $150 million, might fight over the money they made from their various projects during their short marriage.
Lopez, for instance, worked on “Shotgun Wedding,” ‘This Is Me … Now,” “The Mother,” and “Atlas” while they were married. Affleck, on the other hand, starred in films such as “Air” and “Hypnotic” and produced “The Instigators.”
Lopez also waived her right to request spousal support in her filing and asked that the judge deny Affleck such support.
Since the couple never had aids together, there should be no argument over child support.
Ben Affleck’s Solo Home Purchase On Jennifer Lopez’s Birthday Was Branded The ‘Final Insult’ To The Singer

The “Gone Girl” star acquired a stunning “bachelor pad” property in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles for $20.5 million
The new mansion boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms, breakfast and dining areas, a separate family room, a den, walk-in closets, a media room, a powder room, and a guest house.
Prior to his solo home purchase, the Oscar winner had been staying at a $100-a-month Brentwood home near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, after moving out of his and Lopez’s marital home, which they acquired for $60 million in May last year.
According to a report, Affleck insulted Lopez by buying his new mansion on July 24, the singer’s 55th birthday.
A source told Radar Online at the time, “Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult. JLO had been holding onto hope that there could be a reconciliation if they were to spend some time apart, but this is like a stab in the heart.”
Lopez is now searching for a new home in Los Angeles and has already toured some mansions, including one that costs $68 million.

When rumors of their marital troubles began swirling, sources close to the couple claimed they reunited because they had long imagined what it would be like to revisit their earlier romance.
According to insiders, Affleck and Lopez got “caught up in the moment,” but now that “they’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business from over 20 years ago,” they have concluded they weren’t meant to be.
“They’ve seen things through to the end — and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul,” a source told Page Six. “No further unanswered questions.”
The insider added, “They’ve seen all they need to see, and it’s over. In the end, it’s gonna be the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever.”
The Actress Allegedly Felt ‘Humiliated’ By Ben Affleck

Insiders close to the situation also claimed that Lopez blamed the “Argo” actor for their marriage’s breakdown, saying he pursued her to rekindle their romance.
“She’s furious,” an insider told Page Six. “Affleck has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.”
Lopez allegedly feels this way because she went to great lengths to show the world how much she loved Affleck.
This sentiment appears to be linked to her album, “This Is Me…Now,” and her documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” both of which are said to have been inspired by their love story.
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” the source added. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”
