Jennifer Lopez had requested that she has her old surname back as part of her divorce petition from estranged husband Ben Affleck.
The star, 55, filed for divorce without an attorney on Tuesday, August 20 — which also marked the couple’s second wedding anniversary.
DETAILS OF THE PETITION
In her petition, Lopez has requested that her name be restored to Jennifer Lynn Lopez, dropping the Affleck name altogether.
Lopez, who has recently been spotted wearing her wedding ring, listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.
The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in July 2022, insiders have revealed. It marks Jennifer’s fourth failed marriage and Ben’s second.
WHAT IT MEANS SINCE THERE’S NO PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT
Without a prenup in place, their individual earnings from the last two years, whether it be from film projects or major brand deals, would be community property.
Jennifer, who has a reported $400million net worth, has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20million self-funded project This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, which documents the couple’s rekindled romance.
She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and she was set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album ‘This Is Me… Now’ but it was canceled weeks before kick off so she could ‘focus’ on family.
Oscar-winner Ben, who has a reported net worth of $150million, has recently starred in the films Air (2023) and Hypnotic (2023). He also recently wrapped production of a sequel to 2016’s The Accountant.

To further complicate things, Jennifer and Ben worked on the upcoming film, Unstoppable.Â
While Affleck is producing the project alongside Matt Damon, Lopez is among the film’s stars.
Jennifer is not seeking spousal support and has asked the judge to deny it for Ben as well.
