Singer Jennifer Lopez Reveals Reason for Divorce from Ben Affleck Following Decision to Drop His Last Name

70

Jennifer Lopez has cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her divorce filing from actor Ben Affleck, two years after their widely publicized wedding.

The 55-year-old singer filed the divorce papers on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, with their separation date listed as April 26. Court documents obtained by Page Six indicate that Lopez has requested neither she nor Affleck, 52, receive spousal support. Additionally, she has asked the court to change her legal name from Jennifer Lynn Affleck back to Jennifer Lynn Lopez, marking a definitive end to their marriage.

Lopez and Affleck’s renewed romance garnered significant media attention when they eloped in July 2022, with Lopez adopting Affleck’s surname—a gesture she had previously described as “romantic” and “traditional.” Despite her public pride in becoming Mrs. Affleck, Lopez now seeks to revert to her maiden name, underscoring their split.

In a November 2022 interview with Vogue, Lopez expressed her appreciation for the tradition of taking her husband’s last name, though she noted that having Affleck take her surname was never an option, as she felt it lacked the romance associated with the gesture.

Lopez’s divorce filing has led to speculation about the division of their assets, given that the couple reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement. This could result in a legal dispute over their significant assets, including their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they have recently put on the market.

As one of Hollywood’s most discussed couples, Lopez and Affleck’s breakup ends a relationship that has captivated public interest both in the early 2000s and during their recent reunion.
