After months of speculation, TMZ has reported that Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, exactly two years after their Georgia wedding. The documents indicate that their official date of separation was April 26, 2024.
Rumors of trouble began when Lopez, 55, attended the Met Gala in New York City solo in May, where she served as co-chair. Despite the couple being spotted together in Los Angeles afterward, reports of a separation continued to circulate, especially after they listed their LA mansion for sale.

All of Jennifer Lopez’s marriages
1. Ojani Noa (1997-1998)
Jennifer Lopez’s first marriage was to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa. The couple married in February 1997, shortly after Lopez’s breakout role in Selena. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they divorced less than a year later in January 1998. The relationship ended amicably, but it would later be marred by legal battles over privacy and attempts by Noa to publish a tell-all book
2. Cris Judd (2001-2002)
Lopez married dancer Cris Judd in September 2001 after meeting him on the set of her music video for “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” Their whirlwind romance quickly led to marriage, but the pressures of fame took a toll on their relationship. The couple separated in June 2002, and their divorce was finalized in 2003, with both parties remaining relatively private about the reasons for their split.
3. Marc Anthony (2004-2014)
Jennifer Lopez’s longest and most high-profile marriage was to singer Marc Anthony. The couple wed in a private ceremony in June 2004, just months after Lopez ended her engagement to Ben Affleck. Together, they have two children, twins Max and Emme, born in 2008. Lopez and Anthony were seen as a power couple in the Latin music industry, but they announced their separation in 2011, with their divorce finalized in 2014. Despite their split, they have remained close friends and co-parents.
4. Ben Affleck (2022-2024)
After nearly two decades apart, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance and surprised fans by getting married in July 2022. The couple, originally engaged in the early 2000s before breaking up, tied the knot in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony. However, Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, according to TMZ.
